thanks so much Josh.

 

I think the exchange of a petrol tank might be fairly easy for a mechanic  but its the traps for those not familar with this car is my concern and how they put existing parts back together.

Hopefully I may get a reply or two.

 

 

Two Turbo swaps !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that doesn't sound good. how many km did each do.

I am just on 150K with original turbo

What was price labour ,if you don't mind me asking?

Cost me $500 to swap turbos. My original blew seals so i sourced another stock in GC to replace it. The one i got that was told was in GC was definitely not so ended up sending the one i pulled out to Hypergear for highflow. Then had the highflow installed so thats why i did it twice

Anyone will be able to swap out a fuel tank unless they are completely brainless. Don't forget to  help by running your fuel low! And depending on mileage it would be a good time to fit a new fuel pump.

Well actually I haven't met any brainless mechanics but have met many sloppy overcharging and some dishonest mechanics who didn't bother to complete the job properly.

These are the people I would prefer to avoid

    • 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.....
