Nice updates. What's next on the list?

Thanks!

Next up will be to get the front pipe on, get rid of the cat and straight pipe the remaining of the exhaust to the HKS 3" catback I already have.

I ordered a nistune ECU which should be here any day now also, then tune, add some more boost and dyno.

Another thing on the list is get some new gauges, any suggestions?

racetech / depo gauges

if you like the look of defies but don't like the price tag...

I can vouch they are accurate and use stepper motors for precision.

I've seen them for as little as $70-80 on ebay.

they got that awesome start up calibration thingy.

you can get the cheaper ones in red or white, or have them white during the day, and red with the headlights like what I'm doing.

I have Defi's fitting in my GTT if you want to see what they look like there are pics in my build thread. I have 60mm which allows the gauge face to fit neatly behind the factory gauge location opening. 52mm gauges will sit inside the factory gauge location.

your car is pretty sweet man!

Thanks man :)

Not quite as clean as it once was, but it's more fun :P

I watched some of your vids, it looks like way more fun!

you probably can answer this for me, how to get rid of the slip light coming on? I can turn traction control off but what is the slip light trying to do when it flashes on?

    • 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.....
