i was crying when my baby sky come out quieter then my old mans Vx clubbie :D lol but oh wellz...

Oh yeah! i know THAT feeling! :)

Hehehe... and i think i'm the queen of passing emissions tests :D i've been through them twice! i'm surprised you passed so easily... especially since stock skylines don't pass our emissions tests anyway! i had to make a fair few changes to get mine to pass :(

As for the computer... how would they know if its hidden behind its panel?!!? Would they actually bother unscrewing everything to check?

hey, i think you were really lucky to get away with the no cat fine! i heard it was much more than 5k!!! anyways, a catalytic convertor is a massive restriction in your exhaust system, its not .5 of a kw, try 10+ !!!

as i know it, with an aftermarket ecu or any modification that alters the induction or exhaust emissions of a car is deemed unroadworthy unless it meets standard epa regulations - this means air pod, exhaust, bov, ecu etc.

all they are trying to do is keep environmental pollution to a minimum and save this dying earth.....:P

    • 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.....
