Hey all,

Car is going into the workshop on Monday...

Turbo will be removed and sent down to GCG for my Highflow :D

Jaycar gear should be on the way very soon as well...

Highflow is costing me $1500 due to a slight sponsorship as well ;)

:D Muahahahaha :D

how did you manage the sponsorship? are you putting stickers on your car or something?

Yea basically. Just got in contact with them, things I was planning on attending etc. So yeah, in exchange for a sticker :(

Chris, are you taking your car to a workshop? Is it just the turbo you're removing and replacing at this stage?

I'd say do it yourself if you have the space, time and tools (or get your hands on a basic toolkit). Removing the turbo is pretty easy, and replacing it when you get it back isn't much harder, if at all...

There are some fiddly bits and some tight gaps, and a digital camera will come in handy if you think you'll forget where stuff goes, but it's all good and helps you learn. And if you don't have to pay someone to do it, as well as store the car in the mean time, then it's money in your pocket which can be later spent on more bits or further tuning... ;)

Or maybe, if you mean "workshop" as in dedicated area where you can do the work yourself, then you can just ignore me and carry on as above...

<_<

Geeze man, best of luck with it *envious*

What boost will you be running?

Are you going to fork out $150 for a Fuel Pressure Regulator?

Or injectors?

Youve got the exhaust(?), GTT 'cooler, & the new bits, all tuned together.

What power output are you expecting?

Id imagine with a FPR you'd be able to reach 180awkw at ~14psi fairly steadily.......

1. With the two settings, Probably 10 psi and 15psi

2. On the books Brendan :) Will come with time...

3. Yep, So Fuji Catback, IEBC, DFA, GTT Cooler, HKS Panel. I'm expecting once tuned to reach the 180awkw mark as you said. Then add the FPR, GTR Fuel Pump and a Split dump pipe.... Should reach the magic 200awkw. Which is where it shall stay :D

how much are they charging you to install and calibrate the IEBC, DFA and mixture display?

(...mixture display, is that like an air / fuel ration gauge?)

    • 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.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
