Bee R make a rev limiter and launch controller that you can install in cabin.

It basically allows you to set your desired rev limit. Unlike factory rev limiters which cut fuel, this one cuts ignition, so fuel still goes through.

When they hit the hot turbo they ignite and u can get your flames comming out of the exhaust like the movie.

However it will drastically shorten the lifespan of your turbo.

Maaaan I had that shit on my strawberry face 180 back in the day as a kill switch for my amp. Back then the only place you could get it was at Jaycar, and it fitted a corresponding PSTN switch... thought I was pioneering shit, until at autosalon my car was right nex to sum otha f00 who had done the same thing... so naturally I had to remove it...

Now every shop carries it. :P

BTW kidd... here's an interview with Lieberman... it belongs to Hiro from Motorex.

NPM: Was the new color scheme strictly chosen for use in the movie "2 Fast 2 Furious" the sequel to "The Fast and the Furious"?

As it will appear in in the upcoming movie "2 Fast 2 Furious"

C.L.: Yes, The car is silver in the movie. It looked awful, so we just got done painting it back to blue. Why anyone would want to put SS Camaro stripes on a JDM Skyline is beyond me, but the guy designing the graphics (Keith Burns, Prod Designer) hates cars and generally needs his head examined when it comes to car accessorization, just my opinion.

NPM: Sounds as though you weren't too happy with their choice and couldn't wait to get it back to the original look afterwards.

C.L.: The gray/blue thing was ok with me. But the aforementioned clueless designer covered my carbon fiber nitrous bottles with chrome vinyl…it was the first thing I changed when I got the car back. In fact, this dude covered every carbon fiber surface with colored vinyl. As you can tell, I'm not very happy about his choices

Hahaha spoken like a tru Skyline owner :P

watched the movie and was also eager to find out what fuel they run. as for those flame thrower kits i had one on my old car and it was the spark plug typr but only ignited the fuel on with the switch was pressed and also caused the ignition to die ( like doing a key banger with out the stress) as for the REAL car comment if you watch a top fuel drag car they have continuos flame for the hole time they drag. aren't they real cars NZM.031

my skyline can pop flames and nearly all the turbo cars i know can pop flames run a different fuel like menthanol or high grade av gas and you'll get more flames

Yes, I've lost count of the number of plenums I've heard of going 'pop' from nitrous use. Also imagine what would happen when the car finally rolled to a stop.. why at least 500 porcupines would then drag the owner and his friend from the car and beat them senseless. Because as we all know this is what happens when you use too much NOS. Just like parts of the floor falling off really isn't it, you know -- the excess NOS finds it's way to the seam welds and unwelds them.

Zensoku,

You should put little NOS stickers on the horn buttons and charge twice as much for the steering wheels I reckon.

Like it isn't already happening in Sydney and the Gold Coast.. its on all the Wannabe rice boys shopping lists...

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
