Looks great man,

On an unrealted note, i dont really understand how your boost control is set up.

How come there is a vacum line running from the intake pipe into the boost control solenoid?

And how come there is the vacume line running off the cooler pipe into the boost controler but no vacum line running from the controller to the waste gate actuator?

Haha am i missing something here?

Cheers

That has to be one of the coolest projects I've seen. You could have the front section up near the turbo kept the same and then a thinner section put on up to the airbox to keep the diameter and some silicone in there somewhere to keep the flexibility.

Impressive man, very impressive.

with changing it, would it heat up more than the stock as the stock is rubber and this is aluminium? because i'm thinking about changing mine but still doing abit of research to see if it heats up more or not.

im considering putting the afm into the cooler piping, and using a stock intercooler pipe for the intake, and welding or putting some nipples on it for the two hoses that connect to the intake pipe, i think this stock cooler piping i got is 2.5 inches, but i like it caus it already has a bend in it and its blackk...

i might even try and weld it to a custom box, that has a pod inside, so its all in one, intake-box-pod,

anyideas of how i could weld some nipples on the piping, i think its steel,

or should i just get a 3" pipe to connect to the turbo, and etc

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
