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

      Wheel refurb?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
