i felt the same when i broke my front bar by reversing of a gutter :iluvff: i feel for you man

dude that dont make sense. how can u break ur FRONT bar when u REVERSE into a gutter? :O

col, u woulda certainly know if uve done it, i chipped my cf bonnet as i was walking past with a plate in my hands, i now have 3 sore knuckles :P

Because from all accounts, 20Bs are so ridiculously easy to get power out of that you'd have to be completely useless to be unable to get past 400rwhp lol

Look at how much power they make out of 13Bs and even the smaller rotors, and have a look at what mild 20Bs are making, then tell me 400rwhp is going to be a struggle :P

true, but all i'll be doing is upping the boost a little. not much is needed really to increase the power. but i need traction as well, it is for mountain runs remember.

the labour wont be too much since about half will be done at home with a friend. my mechanic will be doing some of it, but most of it will be done at mates house. i've allowed bit more just in case anyway.

but look out for my transfer of $40 i did it this morning for the dyno day thanks Karen :P

No worries Lee :iluvff:

As soon as the first payment comes through for the Dyno Day, I'll be making a post about it, with regular updates :mellow:

thats what i told Col this morning when i was paying for the dyno day. he said i had made the same mistake as you he he he :O

I looked at a 2006 calander for another event, not the dyno day :happy:

traction is easy just get 17"x 12" wheels seen it once on the road it was crazy

i'll be getting 18" by whatever the biggest is i can find. gonna tub the rear a little to fit more under there, hopefully.

i broke the front bar reversing OFF a gutter - in reverse... so as the last front wheel (which was the RHS one) dropped the whole car dropped onto the front bar hence breaking it - cos its just fiberglass afterall

Heh fair enough. What I was getting at was that if you can't get past 400hp there's problems - deciding that 400hp is all you're after is different :P

yeah, getting past it would be pretty easy i'm told but just not needed. in a car that weighs about 900kg, too much power would be a little nuts. i wanna keep it on the road, not off the cliff :ninja: one day i will put more through it, hopefully

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
