Hello all

I have holidays right before xmas for 1 week. I want to get mods like : Intercooler, boost controller, heavy duty clutch, computer, pod filter done in one hit. How long would you say it would take to get those things done and then dyno as well?

Is that amount of time going to be enough? I live 500kms from perth :) Hence the reason I have limited time up there.

Thanks

Glen..

intercooler takes an hour and bit to fit roughly.. thats a DIY jobbie though using a KIT like the Hybrid one...boost controller.. if manual is very quick.. electronic is a bit of stuffing around.. so 2 hours or so there. computer same thing..plugins you can plug in yourself.. 15 mins... or a workshop doing the dyno tuning will do it all for you..clutch sorry cant help there. pod filter is about 15 mins...if you have the afm adaptor. and that will include removing the old airbox..

yeah id ring the workshop up two months notice to get all the parts in for you (since you are wanting quite a bit fitted to the car). Then id say fitting probably wouldnt be anymore than 2 -3 days depending on the workload of the workshop. But there are people on here that own workshops that can clarify for you. Im just guesstimating.

The more organised you are .... the more organised the workshop can be and the quicker things can get done. Know exactly what you want on the car .... there are many different kinds of ECU, FMIC, Boost controllers etc out there.... if you arent ordering in the parts yourself - then give them plenty of notice to get them in for you. :)

Or if you want.. get a hole saw and a drill

get an intercooler kit there are cheaper ones advertised on here i think but you can get a hybrid kit for $1150 and thats with polished aluminium pipes and includes hoses etc.. and full instructions including pictures.

That will take you a couple of hours to fit.

and about 3 days to get delivered to your door.

same goes for the boost control you can get it on the same delivery for about $360 or something

same goes for the pod filter.

take a weekend to get the cooler and pod fitted and then drive down to perth and get the boost control and the ecu and the clutch fitted.. a clutch place can do it if you book it in etc and then you can pick it up or wait there and then go to a workshop for ecu install and tune.

it cant be that hard..just get to planning

You can actualy get all these mods done in Bunbury if it is easier, quiet a bit closer to your current location, bart from south west brakes does good deals on the clutches same day install, and the rest can be handle by a number of different companies Adrenalin Performance are a group of guys no nonsence but there are plenty of great shop in perth to. Best of luck with the mods

if you want to bore out your cylinders for extra power you can put exactly 100 grains of sand into your fuel tank and that will go through the system and you will notice the power gain within two weeks

no idiot, this only works with diesel

so fill her up with diesel first ok

    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
