No need for a pod mate, you will only go backwards. simply cut a few holes on the side of the airbox if you think the snorkel is restricting flow. I have seen nearly 500kw through a cotton panel element.

Braided hoses won't help much, they are only rated to 200 degrees anyway. Bring it around again sometime and we can try and run new rubber hoses over the top of the engine. Or when we do the oil cooler perhaps.

Moh, you are the bitch. :P

Update:

Car issue all sorted

Ended up being a faulty CAS

22 psi down to 18 psi, conservative tune to make sure it is all ok.

Then will be coming back with 2-3 degrees more timing (~20rwkw) and up to 6 psi boost

Top line no airbox

2nd line airbox restriction

30kw gain from not having the airbox lid is interesting, shame we didn't run it up with the lid on and no filter though.

Yes will have to book my car again in the future to modify that airbox :/

holy shit mother f**ker yoda and shit.

you got the 350 you wanted on 98, and then add some for E85. (this is on E85 yeah?)

Yeah tune is on e85

Trent said its going to go over 400rwkw easily once we bump up the timing again and boost

But yeah don't need that much power! Happy with my airbox limited 350rwkw for now lol

Haven't even had a chance to boot it yet, wonder if I will have traction....

Interested about the airbox issue my tuner told me same of being held back some kws due to the airbox. But I've also seen people proving that there are no gains with pods.

Depends at what power level I spose

Im sure at 280rwkw difference would be neglible but once you get up in power it makes power harder to get rather than a brick wall restriction

Updates?

Sorry no real updates, have been overseas and taken a step back from working on the car

I think its time to stop spending money on cars lol

In saying that hit a rock in the middle of the freeway that split my lower lip.

So that will get fixed with the insurer along with fixing the whole front bumper, then when I get money a set of D9R's then i think im set :)

what body kit is that mate? looks crazy

Just a Ztune kit mate :)

I was following your thread really closely up until/before you got the kit (and it was still white haha)

Ermagersh you have come a long way man, absolutely balls to wall in terms of the build. Hoping to follow a similar path when I get off p's; in terms of the GTR kit.

PS
I looked up JDL they really don't ship to AUS :'(

    • 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.....
