Mark did all the work on mine aswell. He is great with Skylines, and I have been impressed with his work (I travel from the far side of liverpool to go to him). Only thing is he is always so busy, it might take you a little bit longer than expected to get your car back.

I am quite happy with the mods to my car (i usually only drive it on th low boost setting as that is usually enough), but I still have plans for more :D.

  • 2 months later...

with 450hp u better save up for lots of tyres especially the rear ones, as with that hp u can lay down a set of blackies by squeezing the gas in 3rd.. and also the stocl plenum is good enuff for what u want.

98% of what everyone said in this thread is way over my head (but hey im learning - give me a keyboard and mouse any day).

While u've been on the topic of HP what is the conversion from rwkw -> rwhp ?

Hopefully you'll have some before/after pics.

My Guess is that he will be up for at least $7000-$8000.

Am I Close?

...

I Should be making around 250rwhp pretty soon.

I've spent $4800 all up.

I shouldn't have got the EBC now.. I should have just modded the wastegate.. Alot cheaper and with the same/similiar result.

Or if you want a serious clutch go for a OS Giken twin-plate... I heard they rule!!!

As far as clutches go... the OS Giken twin plate is sweet. And there are guys selling them for the $1200 mark. I thought i was going to be a really On/Off clutch like my mates Ogura clutch in his 300ZX. I've just had an OS Giken put in about 2 weeks ago and am SOOOO happy with it. Easy to drive, feels very firm and just holds like $hit to a blanket!

    • Ha ha ha! I know those feels mate I've finally got the garage cleared enough that next weekend I'll do some actual work on my car (hopefully). Unfortunately garage isn't usable after 10am at the moment That said, I've done a lot of work this weekend on helping finalise a friend's Production Race car. Full started Christmas Eve. We're down to about 8 tasks on the list, including "get a wheel alignment". Sometimes it's just easier working on someone else's car or project than our own stuff 😛
    • Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...
    • Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
    • hmmm that's not ideal. This is a pretty new engine right, will be interesting if your engine guy has any theories about causes
    • A universal ball joint removal c press kit is better money spent and will work for the Hicas ball joints.  Here's a 45$ CAD Example. ATPEAM Heavy Duty Ball Joint Press Kit with 4WD Adapters | Professional 4 in 1 Ball Joint Press Removal and Installation Tool for Cars and Trucks | Universal Ball Joint Tool with Storage Case, Ball Joint & Tie Rod Tools - Amazon Canada
