Building up Ur Skyline


Recommended Posts

this forum could b a good place 2 exchange ideas about modifying our skylines.

What do you plan 2 do with your skyline?

with the Akira mobile, suspension will B the first thing 2 do. I've got JIC coilovers, and a whiteline handling pack going in next week.

A NISMO 3.9 diff centre will b next. Following that the fuel delivery system ......I could go on and on, but thats all I can afford this year.

Whiteline package- You will love this mate. I got my car with one already on it and it handles like a mutherf**ker. 8) Just watch how you'll stick around corners. It'll feel like you're on rails.

How much for the coilovers?

Hey y'all.

I currently have approx 170rwkw on 12psi (i DID have 165rwkw at last dyno on 12psi and have done stuff since then.)

My next improvements which will be implemented within the next month are:

[list:7c52f7e0ba]

[*:7c52f7e0ba]New 6 Puck Clutch (mine is sceeee-roooode!)

[*:7c52f7e0ba]S-AFC

[*:7c52f7e0ba]Fuel Cut defender (which I already have, I just need to fit it - I keep bouncing off fuel cut when running 12psi).

[*:7c52f7e0ba]a cat! :) (no more flames for NOZILR!)

[*:7c52f7e0ba]cold air induction + partition.

[/list:u:7c52f7e0ba]

Then later down the track i will high flow the turbo and look at lowering the back of the car more... maybe even a kit.

I plan to hit 200rwkw this year and i'll leave her there.

Akira why a 3.9 diff why you can hit 270 kph @7000 rpm isn't that enough

how do I know I know someone who has?

my plan

well I was going to leave my car as it was till the drama's gearbox turbo etc so now I have upped my power target.

200 rwkw on stock injectors.

I doubt this is possible but JMS and that donnan bloke reckon you can.

So we will see to do that I will need a biger fuel pump. and I'm praying my afm will be ok as I sold my z32 one it should be. and an adjustabel fuel pressure regulator.

as for clutch I had heaps of options I could have got merli's race clutch but I decided on an organic heavy duty daikin. tip of the day get a price from http://www.discpads.com you have to email for a quote but they are very cheap. I have 225 rear tyres atm but I'm concidering getting 8 " wide rims and going 245 X 45 X 16 as I have found tyres this size but not for a while. I would like to run a low 13 second 1/4 mile and think I might have the package to do it.

my car doesn't need much else.

Hmmm, where do I start.....

Finish off and seal up the cold air partition that I made. PRANK let me know if you want any pics, I can send the template to you.

3 inch dump pipe and front pipe to cat.

Fix the crapy bend that a exhaust shop put in (not really important but it's bugging me).

Get a front mount on.

New FM901's on the back cause the ones I have at the moment don't do much.

Get the front spoiler fixed/repainted where I nudged a gutter !!!

Adjustable fuel reg once the front mounts on to bring down the A/F ratios.

Ummmm, that's all for now.

well tomorrow the new timing belt goes on.

Then can put the SAFC on and advance the timing some.

next will be a suspension upgrade, i'm impressed with onaruns information about his and the info on the whiteline site. then it will be a dump pipe, front mount and an AVCR and that should do me for a while.

Glad 2 know I'm not the only one with S.I.S ( Skyline Improvement Syndrome).

Whileline asked me how I want the car suspension set up, and I replied "like schumachers ferrari" Might have 2 wear a kidney belt on the next Akuna run :)

Meggala,

Thanks again for Ur advice Re; suspension and diff set up earlier. I,ve currently running a 4.3 diff ATM. My mate who imports modified cars, has 2 diffs with my name on it the nismo 3.9 and 4.1, along with enough parts 2 keep me poor for the next 3 years. Another mate told me to try the 3.9 as it should have faster hook up, greater strength and far less wheelspin and negligible disadvantage at take off due to power of engine. He worked at Diff Technics and knows his stuff. the 4.1 diff will go in if I find the other diff unsuitable.

My car does 201rkw ATM on standard fuel delivery system, with fuel starvation issues at high RPM 7000+ ( found this out at Eastern creek)

With upgraded fuel delivery system, Ur car could easily crack the 200rwkw mark. I am aiming for a max of 1.4 bar and will be happy 2 leave it at that. I think my car is tuned conservatively ATM and am happy 2 leave it that way ( dont want 2 risk damage to motor for more power)

Anyway guys, its been good 2 exchange ideas ( I've learned a lot here)

Good luck with your project skylines :)

Onarun,

I got my JIC coilovers second hand at mates rates, along with a Tomei Triangular front strut brace and the diff. The car it came out of from Japan had travelled 28K and the parts look new.

BTW the coilovers are FLT-a2 height and damper adj i think.

What set up do U have in Ur car?

The above is straight out of my web site. Sorry for the length.

Coming up I have a turbo upgrade. Haven't decided whether I'm hi-flowing yet or going all out. I think I'll wait and get a HKS 3040 or something and do the injectors, manifold, head gasket, adj cam gear (exhaust) and pulley.
