hey guys..

I have an S15 with Apexi Pod filter and heat sheilds and am getting a full exhaust system- front and dump pipes included obviosuly..

I was wondering if i need to tune my car or will the ecu adjust automatcially after i get my exhaust put on?

I've been ringing around and asking the same questions and have got varied responses.. N1 told me that no tuning is required, just bolt it on and drive off a the ecu will adjust.. another workshop told me as soon as u start asking for more power u need to tune the car..

I dont want to increase boost at all, but will the stock boost restrictor hold the extra 1 or 2 psi after the exhaust is put on?? or will i need a boost controller? i dont want my car spiking or anything.

I was considering to get an SAFC.. I dont want a POWER FC, although they are the best on the market, but in the future i wont be upgrading my turbo, or putting in bigger injectors etc so i think powerfc is abit much with the power figure i have in mind (abt 160rwkw).. however few ppl have told me SAFC is not worth it.. is this true?!? what should i do!!

One more question, if i rum abt 10psi with my exhaust on, do i need to upgrade my cooler to a front mount?? or will the stock cooler be sufficient enough in the long term??

thanks ALOT guys =)

I dont know much about the SR motors so i dont know if you will notice more or less of an increase but all i can say is that SAFCs are definetly not useless.

In regards to the cooler i think that your standard one should do the job ok.

Hope that helps

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
