Heyas...just Thought I Would Make A Post About Our Skyline And The Mods We Are Having Done...(updated!)


Recommended Posts

Heyas...Just thought I would make a post about our skyline and the upgrades we are planning to do to it over the next 2 weeks...Any input (sudjestions) would be welcomed :rofl:

Our first upgraded part was our turbo. See our old turbo shit it's self, dealership had left 2 bolts out of the turbo and a few bolts were not done up tightly enough on the air flow metre and well that was goodbye standard turbo hello T3 with T4 internals, blow off valve, screamer pipe, some new piping...

So atm we are running 5.8psi and getting 221.9 rwhp outa it (Our First Dyno Run)...lol but guess that's not to bad for less than standard boost.

So now we have started we are gonna keep going with the flow lol...

Over the next 2 weeks we plan to have a blitz front mount 150 thick, alloy radiator, Link G3 ecu put in, some autometer carbon fibre guages and thought while we were at it we would hav a major service done from front to back as well as a new race series timing belt (15,000ks early but worth it). And off course we will be turning the boost up some more :D

Well I guess...

Air Pods or High Flow Panel Filter if you are keeping the air box

Exhaust system

Boost controller

Apexi Power FCon Pro-V / ECU

Clutch upgrade

Brakes

Suspension

Fuel Injectors / Injector Railing / Fuel Pump

Belts / Spark Plugs

Thats the main things...

You could go crazy and put a Supercharger in for the low end until the turbo boost kicks in.

NOS...

(YEAH! SCREAMER PIPE!!! I love the roar!!!) Make it a twin screamer pipe! :)

Lol Adrian works with brakes and clutch's for a living, so clutch (Exedy brass button) has been done and brakes were fully overhauled when the car was up on the hoist at DPS the last time...Belts and spark plugs are getting done in the major back to front service...We have a k&n panel fliter, we will be replacing the air flow meter with a map sensor.

So many things to do :woot:

LOL! Well you have seem to cover everything...

Guess you can only do so much to a car...

Is it going to be a track / drag car?

We hope to get it to the stage where we won't be able to use it as a every day car...But we don't have any chasis damage at all, the car's pretty straight and been well looked after so we don't really want to race it...

But dyno comps and stuff would be cool...But you never know, Adrian would like to take it to Willowbank once a year at least for power cruise and out for club runs once we join the club :ninja:

Have you gota money tree growing in a backyard? :cheers:

Yeah Dyno Days are always fun. Run it on a dyno and see all the car fans go "OOOHHH!!!" 600+Kw. LOL!

And tear it past an exotic car down the freeway is always fun.

Well all the best and hope to see some pics when all done!

  • 1 month later...

Well guess it was about time I updated this haha...Well this is what we have ended up getting done so far...

New turbo - T3 with T4 internals.

Link G3 ecu with the display.

Full major service, all oils, alsd diff oil service, gear box oil, everything.

Upgraded to a gates timing belt.

Adjustable fuel pressure reg.

External waist gate.

150" thick front mount blitz intercooler with custom 3" black pipe work all the way through to the cat.

Upgraded our brake discs, and done our brakes.

Blow off valve.

Clear cam cover, and a adjustable cam gear.

Huge monkey bar.

New rear and front tyres.

Alloy raidator.

Low temp thermostat (engine runs at 68 degrees just running around)

We have taken it from doing 221.9 HP to 324.8 HP (Click to see the latest dyno sheet). And now we have to look at getting another car to use as a daily so we can start doing some engine stuff but oh well, we brought the car with every intentioon of modifiy it :P

Have not yet started on it's appearance and don't really plan to till it gets to the stage where no1 really needs to be in the engine bay or underneath it. But we do plan on keeping it looking stealth. We will end up respraying it black and I really like these black rims with a silver lip on em that we will eventually get if we don't find something else we like before hand :domokun: Undecided on what we will do to the interrior yet. Haven't got that far haha...

Anyways heres some links to new pics.

Some pics of our car at the Sauqld BBQ (Click here)

March Turbo Stuff (Click here)

April Engine Bay (Click here)

Dyno Vids (Click here)

Anyways that's about it for now. We are currently enjoying it and extremely happy with our the work our mechanic has done and are now planning on doing the injectors and fuel system in the next month or 2 as our injectors are pretty much pushed to their limit now :stupid:

I shall update it again when more is done :D

    • 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.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
