I don't understand what the issue is with, turn the boost down and start saving $$. As soon as you can afford the supporting mods, turn the boost back up. If the car is running fine, enjoy it. Turning the boost down isn't going to kill you.

Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol.

Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol.

Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure. Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?

My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

I'm not normally one for posting random videos, but I thought we'd all appreciate the honesty about how broken our cars tend to be lol. Genuine skyline life here.

Sounds like the perfect excuse to buy a quickjack.

He still hasn't said what the fluid was, saying "Tomei fluid" isn't enough detail. Using my crystal ball, sounds like the diff oil was 80W90, that is the only "Tomei fluid" I can find anyway. This problem might have been solved in 5 seconds by using a decent 80w-140 oil.

Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?

Yeah mate, never miss it.

What are the stickiest tyres you've used so far?

I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that. When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out.

Was the car running before he touched the car?

What have you tried so far to diagnose the issue? I'd start with checking fuel pressure.

I'm guessing its a 4 point harness, 3 of the 4 belts are visible. I'm guessing the hidden belt is tucked down between the seat and door.

What do the harnesses mount to?

Another vote for installing them and see how you go. I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer? Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively). And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/

@Stringycheese Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop? There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.

So of these and these, which ones have ethanol in them?

If I drove to a typical petrol station, what would my choices of fuel be?

I have to ask, if all your fuel is the same, why did you buy and install a flex sensor? I'm so confused, what do you use the flex sensor calibration tables for?

Makes sense that e10 is e10. Sure if it's e85 and winter, drop the e content to aid cold starts but at only 10% ethanol content, there is no reason to change the formula. Is there any e85 in your area?

You'll find a lot of skylines here drink more then a stock SL500.
