I've enjoyed having the car back and driving it over the past week, makes me appreciate it more when it's been off the road

So the only thing I've got left to buy is a plazmaman plenum and TB to go with the rest of the upgrades that will go in sometime after trackday next month

I've been looking at a few cosmetic things over the past few days, just to tidy the car up a bit. One thing I've been looking at and reading up on is putting RB26 covers on the 25 head

The 26 covers do look better and from what I've read it is doable with little to no modification.

Just something to think about over the next few months

I've noticed since getting the turbo rebuilt that I'm getting like a surging feeling when slowly bringing the car on boost around 3-4k rpm. It was happening before I blew the turbo but it wasn't this bad

I thought it could of been few things, fuel pump letting go, BOV starting to die, wastegate on the turbo being a bit flimsy.

I did notice that for some unknown bloody reason, the boost solenoid was burnt....

Thinking this was the cause (hoping actually lol) I went and picked up a second hand one from SKyline Spares, changed it over and took the car for a drive. Hoping for a quick $30 fix was too much, this wasn't the cause.

So after a service last night myself and my mechanic took the car for a spin. Once he felt what the car was doing around 3-4k rpm he knew it was the BOV causing the problem. So we'll fit this up either friday or saturday.

My best at EC is 13.6 and I've been told by my mates and mechanic that with the power the car has got, my times should be a little better than this.

Perfect launch, perfect gear change, foot to the floor but I could never get any better than 13.6, so I've always put this down to my driving on the night and never really thought it could be a problem with the car

After diagnosing the surging feeling in the car last night, my mechanic decided to "test the car". 1st and 2nd gear feels really strong but when in 3rd, it's lacking some power.

So either the cams aren't keeping up, maybe the stock ones are too small for the GTRS or the VCT is causing the problem (I know the VCT is playing up as this was one of the things Scott @Insight mentioned)

We'll play around with the car on friday and saturday and see if we can work this out

At least I know now the crappy times at EC isn't me :D

Another SAU trackday has come and gone. I had a blast!!!

I knocked off 3 seconds off my PB from last year in the first session, now at a 1:15

My best each session was in the 1:15 which I am happy with.

I had Nick (levinboy) jump in with me for a passenger session. Even though I didn't knock off any big times after having him in the car, I did learn a lot and it gives me a fair bit to work on for next time

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      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.....
