I plan on using a cut out valve for my screamer pipe (which is currently plumbed in). Ideally I'd like to be able to bolt in/out the entire thing. What brand did you guys end up going for?

These are excellent ideas. I shall be doing some form of something to hold the boot up.

Originally I wanted a Nismo leather one but $180 was the cheapest I got offered, so yeah that is out. I just want something that will sit on the thread on the shifter properly, having this dead space between top of boot and the actual knob is mildly annoying. Mildly as in cheap 2nd hand OEM shifter price annoying.

I have a shift knob that I got from our great friends at Autobarn. But I legit want an OEM one because I figure they should be cheap as literally anyone who changed their shift knob ever should have one, and it'll fit nicely over the boot...

wtb stock skyline shift knob You'd think these are super easy to buy used, but no dice. No I don't want to pay $88 for a new one.

If your exhaust actually functions then put the money elsewhere

The deciding factor between PCars2 and Forza (I mean we all love upgrading cars here) is done because Forza has no VR. If you want immersion, VR is the way you go, nothing compares after that

SOLD. (yes, really)

NOTE: the photo above, is what will happen to your own flex plate if you run any serious power through it. So if you're randomly reading this, have an auto, and don't want to buy this, at least consider getting a custom flex plate made!!

okay, so this is now officially out of my car and onto the floor of my garage, ready to ship to you, or something along those lines. In short, I miss the torque this auto supplied. Really had no idea it had such a large effect. But there you go. If you REALLY want to get going in a hurry, well, I can see why people build autos. Anyhow, here is two videos of me driving around town very briefly. As you can see, it really requires next to no effort and very little revs to get going around town, and isn't a slippy nightmare that cannot be driven because hurrr durr torque converter. At high RPM it shifts much more severely and much quicker. As evidenced by me spinning off at Winton because I changed from 2nd to 3rd at high RPM and forgot about this. Whoops. There's another video or two of me track "Driving" like a n00b if really concerned as to how well it shifts or doesn't under abuse. Mind you, this is at super low boost (12psi) which I guesttimate at about 250kw. Useful if you're like "wow that thing really sucks power" or something. Here's photos of all of it out of the car.

Cmon sensible clutch!

Hi Folks I'd really like a speedo, but the donor gearbox I put in was clearly cable driven in the past. I would love a second hand sensor if anyone has a gearbox kicking around gathering dust for some reason. These seem hard to find as understandably people rarely seperate them. But hey if thats you, please PM!

Nope, at least none that I can see. They only look slighly faded relative to the new ones! (And a bit dirty)..

Could bad/failing coilpacks cause the pictured problem with the plugs? Both sets of plugs did run with those coils after all.... I don't know how a coil could fail in a way that would cause cracking the 'upper' porcelain. Is that feasible?

I recently got this and was pretty amazed, it drives signifigantly better than PCars 1 and is far closer to iRacing or Assetto Corsa. I can only speak of driving with a wheel, I'm absolutely no pro, but in any car I always felt like it was me driving like a spaz if I had an off, not the game 'gaming' it.

Loom is actually a new OEM one Plugs however? The thing is, both sets look like this! I have since put in a new set of bcpr7es with the new coilpacks, and removed the coilpacks cover. Drove the car just now and all good. As to what the tips look like on all these plugs.... They look normal, it is only the insulator pictured that has any damage.

Bought a brand new set of splitfires, and went manual. Problem still occurs, on both sets of plugs! I am at a bit of a loss as to how this can occur, I'm using Johnny's timing map (15-18 deg of timing on e85) and running 12 psi of boost I can't see why else this could be occurring. What other parts are even involved? Other than orienting spark plugs so the ground strap faces the intake when done up I am out of ideas!

Immediately go buy Jussi's 34 sedan instead of building one.

Bump for easy to drive clutches and stock machined flywheels an enterprising person could resell if they so wished.

GF has the SE. Did the alpine road this weekend, made a 3 day-er of it. Seriously fun. Has AD08R's and coilovers on it now, it's just such an active car when you drive it hard. One day it'll have a tune and make ~180rkw and yeah I'll probably deliberately write my 34 off over a cliff and buy three of them.

The fiata 124 sounds great (!!) and yeah has a turbo. Same motor that the old Fiat 500 abarth has (which also sounds amazeballs and not too bad to get to 220kw) Which is more than enough in a 950kg car made for fun. Souce: Skyline owner who wishes he had his gf's MX5 all the time.

If the above is your car, then my auto is taking a BW EFR quite nicely. It also looks like those are UK (?) plates, which would make shipping astronomical, I'd wager! If there's no local knowledge on the gearbox (and there really isn't here either tbh, I got really lucky) it would almost be worth calling around your local performance/drag racing shop and seeing what they can do or whether they are receptive to it. There's TCU's around for sale that drive auto gearboxes that can (and do!) wire into the factory wheel paddles. EG: https://www.powertraincontrolsolutions.com/Performance_Aftermarket/Products/Transmission_Products/TCM-2000_Transmission_Controller/ (or the new 2800, I have the 2000, well I'm trying to sell the 2000). That option however is expensive, because it's what I did and I lucked out on someone who knew the gearboxes. Literally exhausted options and asked someone at work whos partner "is a mechanic and may know someone" just turned out to be an expert in that specific type of thing. It cost me about $10,000AUD once all was said and done, when you factor in the cost of torque converters, coolers, lines, hoses, sensors, labor of gearbox coming in out in out in out, flex plates (stock one does NOT handle the power), the TCU, the TCU tuning, and all the magic custom work that went into the actual gearbox, and I'm trying to sell it for $3500 so it goes to show that the money doesn't come back to you if you can find someone who will do the overhaul. I would almost say this is a scenario where selling car and buying something like an Evo X or a Golf R or something that comes with a DCT nowadays is going to be a better car for your needs.

^--- if you want to go completely mad, start shopping for a bottom end now so when you need to put it in in a year... you won't be waiting for a year for the engine build to arrive. Alternatively, buy a stock gtt motor now to have it ready for later, and be happy with 300kw and a fun car and save your wallet. (noone does this)

My work (yay govt) has two types of leave, has a certain amount of sick leave per year with no cert, and a second allotment of leave with a cert. The leave with a cert is very generous and generally used for people with sick kids/carers leave etc. Life quality is a thing and really should be everyone's primary aim, however the hell it suits people to achieve it.

But he never said that though, he is saying that he was under the impression he could rev it to 11,000 RPM, and being told afterwards that the limit is 8500. If he knew it was 8500, he would not have selected it. Yes boost and flow aren't the same thing but they can be closely correlated on the same motor. Usmair is saying "more boost" but he really means more power and he's basically saying the 8374 may not provide enough grunt for what he needs. Maybe he wants 750awkw and that is 52psi given the rest of his current setup and a 8374 is not going to get there. I found it interesting that the numbers you can see from Garrett and BW are the same/really similar. If Garret think the Garrett wheel is stronger, why is the "limit" not higher than the BW item? For what its worth, I have overspun a garrett compressor wheel, as it's on my desk at work! As to the RPM of that at the time, I have no idea. I just knew the gate wouldn't open.... ever.... at 28.9psi.
