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.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
