Small update

So a few things. Need to fix the rear camber so ordered hard race rear camber arms.

Also rear end bearings were gone so apparently it is easier to order a full HICAS delete kit:

...

Over the next month will also do a custom cooler piping job and custom airpod box.

May also do Sandown this month but not sure yet

Nice kit! Something to add to the shopping list perhaps is rear traction arms, they'll help counter bump steer in a lowered setup. Here's some more info from when I was looking into that: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/448509-wheel-alignment-question-car-feeling-more-skittish/?do=findComment&comment=7570413

Re Sandown, I'm pretty keen on the Tempered session on Australia Day, might see you there :)

Smart plan! I'm hoping to do the same :)

I have signed up for Sandown on the 26th, fingers crossed all of last year's issues are fully sorted. If you end up dropping by look for the silver 34 sedan with black wheels :)

Awesome thread! Car looks brilliant. 

Where did you order your hardrace parts from? I can't seem to find many sellers these days now

    • 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.....
