I finially got some pics up of the car..

Ive had her for 2 weeks now..

It was basicly stock.. but had the option 2 pack from the factory ( ALSD//chrome kickpanels//super hiacas strut bars /// 4 inch screen + 6 stacker ( which is getting ripped out)// oh oh oh and the word Skyline is green when the lights are on :)

So far i have only done a few cosmetic things to it

repainted the inside dash trim to gloss black..

Resprayed the mats ( genuine nissan ones) to matt black

Annnnd t15 tinting..

I gotta get one of those nismo leather gear knobs from the suppliers we got on the forums + retrim the leather hand break sorounding.

Anyhoo.. heres pics ..tell me what you all think of the repainting of the dash too :laugh:

nice car :)

what did you use to paint the dash? i painted mine silver a few weeks ago but not sure i like it now

Hi there..

I used K&H Gloss BLack - For PLastic //Vinyl (it has a durable compound in it so it doesnt crack at the first movement)

Basicly removed the gunk on the plastic first

Then used some all purpose cleaner to get rid of the dirt etc..

Sanded it down with super fine.

4 Coats of K&H Plastic Prime

4 Coats of K&H Gloss Black

1hr between coats yadda yadda yadda :laugh:

by the look of that hand break maybe it has pulled some gnarly skids s i d e w a y s.

nice painting btw. will look great with the new leather trim.

AHhh

now i see..

actually most of the ones i saw had that leather cracked and what not on the handbrake.. i guess its just how it was handled prior to me and how it was stored.

I have not tried to skid it yet and what not lol..i like to change all the fluids//pads etc first then get use to the car and let the new stuff sink in... then see what she is made of.

Im thinking about trying the leather retrim myself ( for the handbrake) will let everyone know how it goes..

Just gotta see where i can get those weird bloody stoppers that hold the trimming to the panel..

(anyone know? bunnings etc? )

That will be my project for this saturday... getting the nismo gnob + retrim

y did they take the batt from bay to boot on the R33 but put it back in the bay on the R34? just realised that was a question i had from ages back and ur car reminded me

HMm not sure.. but last night i had to replace the battery..

the ns40 was rooted so i had to get a smr55 battery..

THen i had to buy 2 x new points for it ( the terminal connectors for the battery)

and also a new lock mount bracket to hold it in..

PLus i had to modify the bolt jobby as well.

Cost me all up $160 bucks + 10 bucks worth of parts to put a new battery.

Good thing i guess is the fact that when i put a FMIC on it.. i dont have to move the battery :laugh:

Saw this car last night. One sweet straight ride. Gotta love that ricebling light up line badge on the boot. :(

hehehe.. as what karen said "factory bling".

I was going to remove the wing and put a gtr.. but i also noticed its got the standard wing + the drift wing addon.. so i might keep the outside stock ( apart from tires) and make its a sleeeeeeper :rofl:

Anyone know if i can keep the stock front bar and have a FMIC?

Yeh stock front bar is fine with FMIC...may need slight trimming on the inside though :(

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
