Ok well I got my 18s before New Years so I had 'em for da 'nats cruise! Huge deep dish shadow chrome jobs, which so look the part. Now I am saving to get a 3" exahust turbo back, a pod air filter, a big front mount intercooler and a boost controler. Then we'll go up to 10 to 12 psi (damn ceramic turbo). Then no doubt I'll fry that turbo and get a big mother.... ohh I wish! :P

I also ordered the plates YGT25T yesterday. I was surprised no one already had 'em! $412 on plastic plates 'cause they are an out of series Y plate. $1300 or something like that without the Y 'cause GT isn't my initials!:D

Hope to meet up with more skyline fanatics.

G'day Oz,

Welcome to da family :D

How's things?

I think I've seen your car parked up at Erindale a few times. The last time I saw it it didn't have any number plates !!

Nice car.

Thx Jay for the welcome.

Till today it had QLD No. plates on it. Just got the ACT ones.

I was at the ACT shop front at Tugg. and took the plates off to swap them over.

May need to use your services soon, I did a self patch up job on the handbreak leather bit. Don't look too professional.

I've seen a pic you posted of your car (Silver with FMIC), but have not spotted it on the road yet.

One day :D

Oz.

Cool,

LOL - I remember the first time I saw your car when I was going into the car park - I almost had a head on with someone cause I was thinking to myself "nice skyline"... LOL

No worries about the handbrake doova's. Drop me a PM if you need a hand.

Yeah I used to have a Swift GTi with NSW Raven plates. I had it for about 4 years (1993-97) and it had an awesome system in it.

Competed in a few sound offs and it did pretty well.

I am curious? do you remember that car? Did you see it somewhere?You sure have a good memory.

I still have the plates and they are now on my MY00 Black Rex. They were originally on a black 350 Chev powered SLR5000 which I entered in the 1991 Summernats.

cheers

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      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?

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      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.

      UniClutch

      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.....
