Now have question my wife is off to japan in just over a week and is picking me up a power fc d-jetro edition, am thinking of doing a turbo upgrade while im at it any recomendations? I am wanting to keep a factory look so was thinking hypergear atr43ss2 I think is model this is kinda new for me so just wanting thoughts?

she is going without you? thats a bit rough... what part of Japan?

Ok sounds good install straight forward? Plumbing etc need changing?

i completely changed the intake pipe from filter to turbo but im guessing its the same... it sits slightly back from standard so sorta gets close to the A/C drain on mine...not sure with yours...oil line supplied was perfect. water lines on mine supposedly have to be bent a bit but mine was ok so maybe it got done when i put a hi-flow on it 15 years back...

My mate was also saying i should upgrade injectors and fuel pump while im at it?

if you run it to the turbo's max then pump and injectors will need doing,

SS1 you might not need to... depends how much you want down the track

Also as an idea for an upcoming event where could all catch up if anyone is keen but racewars 2016. Am going for the 3 days should be a fun event, unsure if will just watch or participate? Prob just watch?

Lachy told me 2 weeks ago that its not the best spectator event...only good if participating :closedeyes:

I change my blades quite often to try and help (and it does to a certain extent), perhaps a better blade is in order.

I usually wash my face and towel pat dry post shave before my after-shave.

So next stop, better blades.

You participated.... Maybe not worst thread ever??

    • 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.....
