HAVE QUITE A DILEMMA HERE PEOPLE!!

I will be getting my power fc 3 weeks before i get my turbo.. should i..

A: Put the power fc in, with injectors do all my gaskets put my z32 in and tune it.. then when i get my turbo, retune the fuel mixtures and stuff for the boost ill b putting into the engine..

OR

B: Wait.. and do it all at once..

hmm... true, i guess 3 weeks isnt so bad... But my car is too unreliable, oil leaks, std ecu with alot of timing put into my engine.. i just hope it running good.

oh also forgot to add, im doing most of the work myself, gaskets, pulling injectors out, fitting ecu and afm, getting it running is all done by me, the tuner is going to help me with taking off my turbo, fitting of the new turbo and either modifying the oil line or getting a braided one made up.

Doing most of the work is good, builds up your 'know how'. but see if you can get someone to check what your doing so you dont blow something up. I would imagine quite a few skyline owners wouldnt know how to do jack shit on their car

and just cop it sweet for a couple weeks and do it all together... nothing worse than doing the same job twice

thats true and has been done before unfortunetely, and also has cost me a shit load.

Rob at creatd will be helping me as my car will be there for all the work (i dont have my own garage to do my own work).

I guess i should just go with the 1 tune, wack the turbo on and tune it all in one go :P

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
