If I go top mount, does it fit in engine bay with my carbon bonnet?

You could get a carbon fibre bonnet scoop in your carbon bonnet.

By the time you have finished you will have spent about 10K stg so the tuner is not the place to cheap out unless you are prepared to destroy your new investment.

did buy an m5 and love it .

it was too much hassle with current life commitments to mess around with it 

 

m5 is absolute animal so skyline is going back to garage for a while and start work in a year or so .

thanks for your help all , really appreciate it

Have to admit did seem a little odd when you're talking about buying a new M5 yet a sensor or paying for a dump pipe is a hassle.


In any case if you want stress free motoring and you have access to a M anything, well, just get in, turn the key and have fun.

Bloody fun and scary to drive with traction off . Almost 99.9% of times no traction in first and second gear when you put your foot down so makes driving challenging and keep you on the edge with traction off

get some better tyres and enjoy the acceleration.

    • What ECU is on your car @silviaz? You can just change the idle target table yourself and the IACV duty cycle. Noting that if you play around with the screw you'll also need to revisit the idle base duty table as you will end up offsetting the lot. Another reason why DBW is superior, there's less mucking about.
    • Yep. Saw that on the image above but, wonder if it makes more sense to clean out the iacv because let's say in theory mine is dirty and if I clean it the rpm will drop. If I first go to my tuner to drop the rpm and then go to clean my iacv won't it drop further or is the rpm a fixed number?
    • Yeah it was a good result, and confirming the car is full of fluids and all interior etc in, other than fuel. I think a few pages back (maybe many pages!) he mentioned some serious lightening in the doors with the chassis punch, might have been done elsewhere I hadn't seen yet too
    • He still had the suspension dialled in for him! I would have sworn the lowest weight he ever got to was 1300kg though Maybe Neil had been drilling a LOT of holes somewhere you haven't found yet... 😛 Or has he also drained all the gearbox and diff oil out too, between it, and a tank full of fuel there's about 65kg to 70kg to add back in I'd guess. 😛
    • Yeah this isn't a super complex shape, but I was still happy to buy instead of fab version 1; very little in a modern can is a flat surface, and that is true here again - the undertray has about 50mm in height differences that I would have had to work out myself. I will probably make something more substantial before it does any rally, I don't think 1mm steel is too much use as a bash plate. There is also cooling to think about, Z1 have done a bit of development and have some air holes and louvers in the shape, will see how that works out too
