EVOIV, I am pretty sure that the afm wont be hindering airflow at the sort of power I am aiming for (300rwkwish), if I run out of resolution, I will just upgrade to an infinity 90mm:D

Off boost the car is more responsive than it was with the stock turbs on. I think it probably has alot to do with the manifold flowing so much better than the stock one. Also I had side facing throttle body before, so the switch to front may be helping. I have just posted a dyno print out from today up on the 'apart from tilbrooks.....' thread. I like it alot. Makes 1 bar under 3000rpm.

Next mods, plenum (Evan), have cams (256/264 HKS step one) and adj cam gear for the exhaust with a 1.6mm HKS metal head gasket and oil cooler sitting patiently and waiting to go on, - then will be the time for some real boost:D I also have plans for some DBA rotors in the not too distant future, some nittos, HICAS removal bar, decent seats which seem to be very hard to find in good condition second hand...... the list goes on, you know how it is:D

Hey steve. U know how u said u wanna heat wrap the dump. Just curious to how much of the dump are u goin to cover. I want to do this, but i think i only have enought heat wrap to maybe cover 50-60cm. Is this worth doing, or do u cover the entire front and dump??

Thanks mate!

Hippy, no

Dean, 50cm aint much, but it can only help. I would think its better to get right down out of the engine bay, helps keep heat out of there. Doing the entire dump and front pipe couldnt hurt

The AF ratios are at 11.8:1, a little richer just as she comes onto boost though - so nice and safe:)

She's comin' along real nice Steve. Top job!

I'd put money on it cracking the 300rwkw mark once the gasket, cams & gear are done mate.

Oh yeah, like the others have said, get some shiny bits in there! You need a bit of rice in the bay :) I polished my covers but I'm getting them done again @ the same time as the cam belt cover.

Ain't that the truth!

Just seems to be so many other more important things to get sorted first.

Yeah the list is nearly never ending. If I was keeping my car then I had about 10 more major rounds of mods planned!

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
