all i can say is i admire your patience!! that is a sweet shopping list! i don't think i would've waited for an "all at once" install to fit the wanky parts though :)

though I've only had my skyline for about 2 months, i prefer working on it progressively, building it up really and doing as much of it myself as possible. i don't think i would get much satisfaction form doing it that way. though that's not meant as an insult or anything - if i could afford a ferrari (i.e. a mean mofo of a machine straight out of the box!) i would!

though i suppose after a little while I would be looking around for ways to mod it :D

all in all, i, like most other people will be glad to see some impressive dyno results after its all done (did you do a "before" dyno run by the way to see just how big the improvement is?)

Nice spec list, should be a quick R33 for sure.

What kind of power are you aiming for? It should put down some serious numbers!

Good luck and looking forward to seeing ur results.

thanks for the support..... looking for 270-290 kw atw with out nos and god only knows with nos....

:)

Thats an impressive list of uprgrades.

I'm looking forward to seeing pics of the completed work and the dyno sheets.

Good luck. Hope all goes well for ya :)

thanks... i will post the dyno result the day i get it.

thanks again its been a long road.

Ill give you a greeting...

should have done all that to a 26 and judging by your response attitude to some of the respected members around here i would say not many care about your cut and pasting ...

sorry happy greeter but i lost you at the end of your sentence................ :)

I had the power fc ,injectors,air box coil packs ,full exhaust,boost controller ,suspension.done over 1.5 years and i have 2 or 3 dyno results already.would you like me to post them.

Thats an expensive parts list :(

You probably could have saved yourself a lot of money as some stuff isnt needed.

But you can spend your money how you want.

Good luck with it

thanks,i only have one chance before my wife & i have a baby so i just did my own thing and spent my money happily and bought what ever i wanted with no regrets and i guess thats what matters .I hunted the world to get the best prices and saved lots and lots.

thanks :)

heres some dyno sheets for all to see

Why do you have dyno sheets showing progress? I must have read wrong earlier, i thought your car was pretty much stock and you were getting ALL those mods put on at once? :)

hi never said it was stock i was showing all the mods that the car will have in three weeks.....thanks

if you look at my first picture you will see some parts.

second picture rims

third custom air box,bov,fmic piping,maybe my yellow nismo injectors ,Radiator air guide

fourth no engine

:thumbsup:

so why didn't you say so to start with? :)

....i have 2 or 3 dyno results already.would you like me to post them.

i'm pretty sure that's what i asked

dude, i'm a full on newbie, so i'm not hanging sh!t on you. your dyno sheets look good and I'm sure you'll see some significant gains with all that stuff. you're just going about it in a different way to most people (which is FINE of course) and you're not going to be able to attribute power gains to specific mods (which is half the fun for most people).

so if you're gonna post up a shopping list like that just to 'show' people, don't get upset when you get responses like you have.

peace out :D

thanks. ive always done my own thing when it comes to cars eg:putting coil overs in cars 9 years ago when people would say what for!! or importing body kits from the states,it makes me happy so i do it that's whats fun for me ,ive been playing with cars for 16 years so after a while you want to get from point A in a project to B as quick as possible just to enjoy it sooner and pay less labor costs

posting stuff is new and fun for now ill learn't long ago that people always think they could do things better ,well thats easy to say for people on forums when words are all they have and actions are limeted to finance for one reason or another. when you have done a couple of cars you will always meet a gunner or a shouder or a coulder a woulder or even better someone that says iv got a mate who's done.........................and thats what you should of done.

BUT AS I SAY DO IT YOUR WAY..... :)

so thanks for your input..... :)

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
