Okay and here are some of the pics for the current stage of build.

-- Original plenum is removed, whilst i wait for the polisher to call me and tell me he has finished polishing my new intake! Once this is done i will be putting on the polished greddy style intake painting a few items and doing up the engine bay a little (that thread of engine bays is really inspiring) Cheers Guys Hame.

p.s my cam shaft has 'DE' written on it can some one fill me in?

i was told originally (while the car was coming from japan) that red/white is turbo and blue/white in non turbo........

Sorry for dragging old conversation... but if blue is NA, red is turbo, then what are all-silver badges?

Now guys i have another question i have an apexi power fc on the way for my engine managment.

Hey guys just a quick queiry, i just got my pfc..now i after some injectors & a tune.

So now i think all thats left is injectors which i need some advice on. My mods are in my signature, i am looking for over 300hp (hopefully) just wanted to ask some questions here:

1. what brand of injectors?

2. what cc rating for my designated HP (remember standard rail rb25 side feed)

3. reccomendations for tuner for my car?

Thanks guys! Hame

p.s i was thinking 700cc+?

Hey guys wow been a while since i updated this post.

i installed a walbro 500hp fuel pump, put in nismo 740cc injectors for the fuel system.

Also, have jsut put in pedders shocks and lowered king springs up front and super kyb shocks and tein springs in the rear (as the stock suspension was terrible).

Car was tuned by GT auto garage with limiter set to 7,000rpm and 10psi boost ran from the internatal wastegate, car got 196.2kw atw on a hun dyno.

future plan is to get a profec b II and up the boost and re-tune..

Also have fitted longer wheel studs up front with gts-t rotors and gts-t calipers i re-built and painted combined with a billet 12mm hub-centric spacer for the brakes to clear the wheels.

yeah good job with the build mate,

goos to see people sticking with their pride and joy instead of just selling it off to get something already done.

I must say tho, not a fan of the wheels. sorry.

Yeah no worries, the wheels look odd in photo's (better in person), another thing i need ot be getting soon is some rear tires as the poor old bags are bald as!

And thanks jet_20, i wouldn't fine it pleasing if i bought a car already completed, i like doing the work myself.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
