Been a slow with the updates, finally decided to dig into the boxes I posted a few pages back 

here’s the old b/c pillar trim in the carA26DCC92-5C83-40C6-B772-862E2AB1F60D.thumb.jpeg.71cc5fdd00139376a9a86803b51c6a84.jpeg old and new beside each other, the old ones weren’t the worst I’ve ever seen F26C7294-8FD6-474D-B667-A69ECF728B78.thumb.jpeg.d3027a681410e0c6035b78611e244b5c.jpegand new one installed in the car BA798E42-5BC9-43D6-B9BD-9B315BDE788C.thumb.jpeg.60824859848f0af97cca32bc39c8c5f4.jpeg

Just out of interest because I have similar issues with boxes and B pillar trims - how much of a pain in the arse is fitting them and did you break any plasticky clips in doing so?

They’re pretty easy, just pull the back seat out then the side panels and peel the old ones out l. With the new ones make sure the clips are lined up with the holes before bashing them in

It’s the hi octane sheet metal extended sump, it’s got internal baffles and trap doors and obviously and extend pick up as well 2D6394BF-39D1-4BA6-B8A0-FABF64BB6336.thumb.jpeg.91425a86c28d52a9edf94d35dd540f42.jpeg918FF714-F1FD-45D1-A44B-EDB7343CDABB.thumb.jpeg.b99b0ff33b5629d8fdefb3de5b7f35fd.jpegwith the limited light I currently have these are the best photos I could get,

We’ve found both of the engine mounts are half ripped So I’ve ordered a new set and once they arrive the engine can go back in

Coincidently my RB26 started popping I/C hoses and generally being ugly.  Same disease. A half torn passenger side engine mount.  Looks like it is not uncommon.  The tear was where the rubber was glued to the steel - Nismo item too.

Edited by djr81

I had the same issue when I bought the car in 03 and turned out to be the passenger mount was completely ripped and I put a genuine Nissan one in it. If I can get another 15+ years from these ones I’ll be happy

    • 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.....
    • This makes sense. I have 2 so I'll just choose the least favourable child to perform the task.  If all turns to shit, I've still got a spare.  Win-win!
