The air temperature is right as much as we need the wet stuff i wish it would buzz off for me lol

Hopefully it is dry tomorrow.

I knew I was there for a reason and it wasn't to get my hands dirty...lol

Oops 16 deg and raining is the forecast

Great news :) I look forward to hearing your final results when the tune is finished and when you get some dry weather!!

Thats a bugger mate but i can tell you that you will be happy with your turbo selection from my first feel of my car today and the sound is good too :)

Thanks Andrew, glad u were there to give me a few neat little tricks especially the one on how U remove the side feed injectors from the rail. Loved that one.

Did a tiny bit of road tuning. Was wet and scary, but so far so good. Turbo is nice and responsive and has an awesome sound.

I just got home and left at 6 this morning. So a 16hr day. I couldnt leave micko there without getting it finished, i could tell he had been itching to drive it since he started ordering all the parts.

man when i said it should be easy for you, I thought you had a shop ..wait u do have a shop dont you..im confused :unsure:..

Anyway ,good work fellas :thumbsup:

Haha cheers ive got an engineering workshop artz still got a bit of work to do yet like putting the blow off valve plumback line in and modify the turbo outlet pipe my cat needs the flanges cutting off to align them better cos of my new dump pipe i think, gotta put my turbo blanket on get my cam gears installed waiting on a tomei fuel pump thats goin in and finally get her tuned properly as the wet weather blew any chance of bringing her onto boost...

When i finally finish it properly i will post some up...

Think im gunna get Jez to tune it up on 98 and see how it feels then on 11th next month i will have Yuvas re tune it on E85 and see what the difference is :D

Just got back from taking it for a buzz then Jez feels nice when it comes on boost but i been shifting at bout 4500-5000 and 51% throttle is most ive used so full throttle and more revs should be awesome hoping a good tune will help bring it on to boost a lil earlier though :thumbsup: gunna re run the pipework tomorrow when it comes back from the exhaust shop got lazy yesterday with that miserable weather didnt even clean the workshop lol. Got a boost control issue too my peak hold was 16.3psi when my controller was set to 13psi so dunno whats going on there :whistling:

How did u go with the new piping Micko?

have u takin it for a rap in the dry yet?

Ok so it was my first drive in the dry today so it was good to feel what she pulled like with some boost. In second gear and around the 4300rpm zone it started to spin my 255s (unsure of boost pressure) which was surprising actually considering my car has a 2 way kaaz LSD , it hasnt been tuned and it was just under half throttle 49%

It initially felt like a bit laggiier than i was expecting but jez pulled some timing out of her to make her safe albeit we couldnt drive her safely in the wet up top.

Just wondering roughly how much the tune will help boost response?:rolleyes:

Ok so today i made up a suction pipe and my turbo outlet pipe out of 316L stainless steel and purged welded them i also chopped up and modified the factory blow off valve plumback line for my turbo today just gotta clamp it all up tomorrow. here is some pics of my work :ph34r:

:thumbsup: HAHA was thinking dunny rolls woulda looked better but settled for stainless instead! Thanks mate it did come up good i havent polished it up yet it will come up shinier but thats tomorrow arvos plan

My mig welding is heaps sexier than ur purged tig welds. Looks awesome micko well done.

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
