Hey guys, thanks for another nice night.

to keep everyone up to date on the nights events, my wing has now been removed, with the help of a few others, and i love the look.

The local constabulary payed us a visit, flexed their muscles using scare tactics, licence checks and hanging around us for a while, but no defects were issued and they left us in peace.

and DO NOT travel behind Niks car, esp if he decides to give it a boot, you'll be left with blurry vision, a smoke coated front bar, and stinging eyes.

i realy injoyed my self thank's guys for a great night. cant whait for next friday and am looking forward to getting to know you guy's better.

once he put the foot down all i saw was black smoke. ( where's the road!, where am I!) nik i think you should have your valve seals checked, normaly happens on engines that have done a few k's. only hapens at hish rev's, the oil sneaks past the valve stems and gets blown straight out the exauhst. sould coast to much to fix?

Nothing wrong with the engine, its just running a tad rich and has high flow cat, so not much restriction in the exhaust :(

if you guy's think it's all good then it's all good. it's just ive seen black smoke out of lots of cars before and this was more smoke than i have ever seen! the clowd was the size of his car (no bulls#@*)

not always the case nik :thumbsup: if it runs to rich it can fowl stuff up pretty quick eg spark plugs etc wont it ??? obviously a little rich wont matter though

Oh noes~! my spark plugs~! :(

We've had a lambda meter up the exhaust and it runs an air/fuel ratio of between 11.5 to 11.7:1 acorss the whole rev range its on boost, which is about as high as you want to take it when youre running 15psi+ (although some shops take it to 12:1).

The reason it pisses out so much smoke is because its a *very* free flowing exhaust.

whouldn't whant to race him, he'd blast of bast me taking the whole shot take it to the red line and shift (ejects top secret blinding smoke) and before i could work out which way is the finish line nik whould be past it. sounds cool to me!

last friday night i promised to give somone some initial-d dvd's for give me for forgeting your name (i suck at rembering name's) ive got them ready for you but my cluch in my line'r whent on sunday and iv'e got now way to get them to you! i could arange to get them posted to you just let me know what you would like me to do, thanks!

    • Please do not connect it to your manifold. If you do, as GTS suggested please record the lot in 4K with good mics attached.   On the factory Skyline, there's a upside down pipe that allows it to breathe, looks like this   
    • For me I'd need some serious justification for why it has blown out.  Have you questioned him on it?  To be honest if you didn't question him right from the get-go on the first invoice that was already way over the initial quote and then you've (presumably) then paid another $1375 on top of the first invoice, then you're pushing shit uphill to get a favourable result now... It was years ago I last got an engineer out but it was around $450-$550 per visit.  That was just to inspect each progress point he gave me for the project.  Is he just doing progress inspections or is he providing engineering diagrams, technical assistance, etc??  If he's not, he's a filthy rip off merchant.  If the $3100 is the final sign off then you need to cop it on the chin, pay it and move on.  If it's not, piss him off and get a new one.  Not many Jeeps I'd value at $10K full stop let alone just engineering fees on a written off, half actual value WOVR Jeep....
    • Oh, yes. If you connected it to the manifold your first drive would be very eventful. Very shit. Very interesting. Perhaps take a video if you feel the need to see. Terminating the breather at the top of the bellhousing is normal/stock. Some gearbox lubes (hello Redline Shockproof) like to foam up a bit and require the breather to be extended up higher, so you don't get spots of smurf jizz staining the floor under your car. Mine is thus right up behind the head. Make sure you fit a u-bend at the top so it points back downward so that dirt and schmutz has a harder time getting into it.
    • Cheers for the replies. So i don't connect it to the manifold I just run the hose high up on the firewall?
    • It doesn't really answer your question...but is the head unit full android or just android auto, are you happy with how quickly it boots and responds, and do you have a link?  If we can identify good Android alternatives it will really help people stuck with Japanese screens. Did it have a separate reverse camera input so you would replace the factory one, or are you just going without now...that would be a pretty big steps back. And finally, do you have a picture of the "wire" that you can't plug in? Most likely it is some sort of aerial that is not too important eg japanese traffic or am radio or something if you haven't noticed a functionality issue
