LS2 Coils mounted on plug with some alloy brackets I made up..

Intake side all bolted up and throttle stops adjusted.. what a mission!

Also installed some extended studs up the back and replaced a dodgy wheel bearing I discovered..

I'll also be replacing my Tein's with Nismo struts and springs I picked up.. Should give a nice compliant ride and help with grip..

Picked up my precision turbo also...

Fitted her up..

Chucked the flywheel, clutch and box on the engine and dropped it into the car..

And mounted my exhaust ready for a dump pipe to be made up..

I also hooked up my fuel system and completed all the fitment of my fuel lines... did a pressure test up to 100psi and no leaks :D super happy. Not long to go now, just need tyres, cooler piping, a dump pipe and some sensors and we'll be golden.

Happy to say she fired up 2nd hit of the starter :) Sounds nice and tight. Car is off to get the dump pipe made up then its straight to work and onto the dyno for a light tune.

Im now running a Haltech R34 GTT Pro Plugin ECU which is due to be released to the public in the coming months. :) Along with Haltech's new CAN Wideband O2 box which will be released at the same time. Very cool stuff.

This was turn-key off an RB26 base map set at 3350cc capacity, flex fuel compensation enabled and injector flow rate at 2200cc. Not bad at all :D

It was dumping from a 90 degree 4" elbow i just clamped to the back of the turbo :D Car is having a dump fabbed on Tuesday.

Dave, ill be sharing the tuning duties with Scott. I'll most likely attempt most of it with his guidance, then let Scott work his magic in the high load parts until I've got some more experience under my belt. :)

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
