Finally finished the nitrous install today. Had left it since I was over east for work but, wired it up today.

Next is the bottle fill for the strip based fun.

I have tuned the car nicely since solving the ping issue and hopefully next outing to the strip will see a sub 13 without gas and a low 12 with it, then again if I'm using the 205's maybe not :)

My realistic aim is to improve the mph with the 205's on as launching off them is tricky.

Wouldnt 225s go nicley even on stock rims. It seems he has optimised everything excpet the size of the rubber on the original rims that can still be used everyday. Unless of course he is waiting until the current rubber is cactus.

Its good to see someone with the patience to extract the best out of what Nissan gave the car.

The 225's would be good but, as mentioned I'm a bit cheap. It's my work vehicle so I've even bought the cheapest 205 tyre brand I could find :D.

If the 205's defeat me I'm not going to be too cut about it, I still have a mph to look over and pass to the new owner of the car. I'll change the rears if I have to do 12's to sell the car and the 205's stop me.

Nitrous is on, tested and tuned.

The 50HP shot is most enjoyable. The car pulls like a bastard.

I have a set of 100HP jets on order and a 'soft plume' nozzle to replace the fogger 2 nozzle system I'm presently running to allow better atomisation and distribution.

The 100HP kit will be scary stuff, from the info I have from another RB25det user of this size kit, it translates to around 120HP extra at the tyres from his testing of the same kit.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
