Just a thought, wasn't the TCS control kicking in when u put ur foot down was it?

not that i remember...have had cases when i have come through corners and the skid light has come on...

going to jack the car up this weekend and spin one wheel and see if i have a LSD or mechanical LSD in it... still know f**k all bout the car atm!

When that skid light comes on, the TCS has kicked in. Just in case u didnt know there is a TCS button on the left of steering just above ur knee. Hit that button, a light on the dash will pop up saying TCS OFF. Then put ur foot down n have fun, Oh be careful in the wet, boost on = sideways...

haha... found that button the first day i had the car... thought it would be a flick switch...didnt notice till a few minutes later that there was a light on the dash for it.. haha

so if i turn the tcs button off and try it agian it shouldnt hesertate at 5,000rpm??

Try it, put ur foot down n find out, then hit the button again to turn it off(TCS ON) n try again. If thats not the issue, refer to all other threads.

If it hesitates its not tcs because tcs engages when you lose traction, I dont know many people pulling 5g around a corner tight enough to turn it on. unless its raining. i.e 5g is a lil high for rounding a corner.

I think your sparks are on the way out mate, get someone to look at them.. skylines have a problem at 5g with flatspots so could be that..

Do you have a front mount? pull out ur plugs and see if they are fouled..

If you cant be bother get on the highway and launch it to try burn off anything on the plugs.. you will prob have to change them soon. when you do regap them to 0.8 - 1.0 somewhere about there.. unless you up the boost then keep it at 0.8

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
