cool, i heard that u can only run about 10psi with stock intercooler, but im not certain about it. sounds about right though.

Even though I had a R32, I ran just over 1bar on a day-to-day base, Stock turbo and cooler. I’ve noticed a lot of skyline owners are a little “soft” when it comes to how much boost they run… Hell I ran open boost for a while, coil packs were rat shit so just dies coming up on boost.

Nice work modr33s2. How did you find Hardcore?

Nismoboy - I found Hardcore to be a good bunch, they tell me they have the 3 top HP RB motors in Australia and from the very good tune Pete did on my motor I believe he is capable of that.

666DAN - PM me for details but here are some pics of the 3 different sizes I have, they're all stainless steel.

Well i drive it everyday but I dont really use boost all that much, its just there if I need it, and if it were a track car I'm sure it wouldn't last all that long, but have been assured by Pete at Hardcore and Daniel form here that the turbo can handle it as long as i dont thrash it too much all the time like at the track.

Well Done! :)

I could do with a bit of that mesh too please :)

Good to see another 1337 H4rdC0r3 cooler grinder hand injury, only us 1337 put that much effort, but how good was yous? Mine required 3 or 4 stickes :)

Just touched my palm below thumb (damn no workshop vice or workshop for that matter) just adds to the 100 or so scars allready there (oh thats the other hand)

As for mesh give me some dimensions

The mesh is measured with a drill so a 2mm drill fits through the fine a 4mm through that roll and 11mm through the stuff I used.

I TIG welded all the cuts so it doesnt unravel but with the 4mm stuff I had on B4 i didnt do that and held together fine

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
