what would you be doing in Europe / Pomme land?

Look at things and get drunk frequently.

And I haven't covered more parts of the UK and Eastern Europe.

would like to do UK pubs someday. Would also love to visit the Whisky distilleries in Scotland :)

Have done heaps of pubs in London, haven't been to North of England, Ireland/North Ireland, Scotland and Eastern Europe - am planning on hitting them when I go there next.

both mate. I want to make sure Sean has history with the car so tuning info is all there for him. yep, it's going to be a long 1000km as I would only drive it on the weekends.

I done 400ks yesterday, so should take you 1 weekend.

Take the beast up through the hinterland for run in Antz. I know the roads well. I will book in with sean and get him to steal my timing and I will come with you.

Is it good drive thru there?

that would be EPIC mate.

They don't have to be! Emotion + car = money pit

Yep. But we wouldn't own these cars if it wasn't for emotions. We'd spend next to nothing and go buy a Yaris or a Mirage

Good luck with that. You don't have your Skyline because it was a sound economic decision...

The truth if I've ever heard it

True but. .. some decisions are worse than others. All the time you see people keeping their car because they can't bear to sell it and wasting thousands turning it into somthing it ain't. When for not much more money they could have just bought the right car.

True. But logical isnt always best. If i was logical I'd go buy some new small car that will take E10.

Doooooo eeeeeeeet.

They allow passenger rides...

I'll bring this up with the rest of the Exec team. See if we can get something organised.

BTW, when you're shopping for turbo on the GT-V, make sure you get low mount kit not high mount kit. Mate and I discovered that top bit of intake runners hitting the turbo.

I like this one, he's full of useful information :)

Call me skeptical but I massively doubt that Nissan would give the gt-v a low compression version of the 25de. Why would they make a new version of the engine to make it less powerful and less efficient?

GT-V wasn't a new version. It was a limited edition.

Turboing an n/a works well when you run low boost on a turbo capable of flowing lots of air at low pressures. on the n/a block is there provision for oil and water lines for the turbo?

Can't tell you off the top of my head. I'm pretty sure it does, there is a lot of extra bits and pieces that have been capped off. Would need to investigate further in daylight.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
