Thought id update this... Car has been going very strong, been to 1 drift meet with this setup and it absolutely HAULS ASS!!! but with lack of suspension and a stalling problem, its not fun..

Suspension is now in, Camber arms, Lock bar, Traction rods and Castor rods.. thanks to Ryan from ISC PERFORMANCE. Very good bloke to deal with and great value for money.

Car will be sent off to Centerline suspension, to get a full wheel alignment to Drift specs.

Then will be back at creatd getting a Trust bov fitted plum back to stop this stall problem then back on dyno for a few checkups.

Well be back out on the 27th of feb, last wednesday of the month.. Should head down to calder for a geeze.. Or come and say helllooooo

Cheers. Phill

Sounds like its coming along really well mate :banana:

Good choice on using centreline, I just picked my car up from them. They do great work, very good price and dont bullsh!t you.

Keep those updates coming!

I wish it was coming along well, climbed the first mountain and made the power i wanted give or take a few KW.. still want to do more work to the engine, more boost and add cams etc. Now i haveto climb the 2nd mountain.. Body work, iv been keeping it off for a while fixing my panels and stuff, but the panels will be fixed, ill be flaring the guards with my new guard roller ;) then a full bodykit, Either Msports or GP Sports. Then a full powder coated black roll cage will be put in and fitted.. Then a new set of rims.. This never ever ever ends does it?

My mate used to work at centreline, they did my brothers 180sx and it handles very well, so mines in for the works :D

Hopefully all goes well with the new suspension and the car wont want to throw me into a wall like it almost did last calder.

I need to roll my guards bad, was getting some serious tyre rubbage. If you want some one to come around and help you out (Baiscally muck around, and use the guard roller) let me know. :D

well my brother will be doing guard rolling once he gets the hang of it (you should c the flares on his 180!! it makes 19 x 9 racing harts look standard!) ill get him to roll your guards, as he will be doing it for a lil job on the side.

hey dude , a bit off topic but did you have to cut your bumper at all when you stuck on that GTR Intercooler as shown in the first pics on this thread??

Im looking to put an intercooler on and the GTR intercooler looks like the one for my car... have the same car as yours but in white..

Any downsides to the GTR Intercooler you have?

Cheers , Troy

no downsides mate.. its a killer cooler. Its a R32 GTR item. Didnt haveto cut front bumper.. i have the nismo optioned TYPE M front bar.. You might needa cut a bit off yours to fit.

Thought id add something here..

The cars been dead for around 2 years approx lol because of other things iv needed to do. Will be getting back into shape soon (aiming for christmas) and will be raced and hoping for a low 11sec pass with the power it should be making.

New setup is a 3076R .82 and an ex cam gear. Hoping for around 320kw on pump fuel.

Undecided if i want to keep it or sell it..

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
