At this stage later this week I'm having the power fc, ebc and cam wheels installed and tuned (gtr) I have full exhaust and k&n panel insert. What else do you think I should do at this stage with these mods? Oil air separator maybe?

CAS will be doing the job.

thanks

Simmo

clutch is done, will most likely do oil air at the same time.

I still have standard turbos, so will probably keep the boost around 18 psi, fuel system should be adequate afaik.

:confused:

dont think so, he asked "what else would you do at this stage"

IMHO, if you have all these mods, its probably time to learn how to make th most of them.

18 PSI is too much boost - you will either break your turbos or break your engine.... I hope it will be your turbos cause it will be cheaper to repair .

I like Duncan's recomendation.

Won't have much money left then hey?

Ceramic turbos should be limited to 1 bar or so.

If I had a GT-R, my first option would be a HKS electric torque controller.

But basic suspension mods like adjustable dampers, pineapples would be nice.

T.

Suspension, wheels and brakes are done. Straight line performance has been the last thing on the list, although I'll be reviewing the suspension, I'm not completely happy.

CAS know how to charge, but can you recommend me someone that will do a better job?

driver training? You don't need this when you have a gtr, a gtr will teach you how to drive, I swear my car talks to me!

thanks heaps guys.

Done

I'm very happy with the results and the service from CAS

I went in with 170kw @tw @17psi in the morning, and in the afternoon I had 215 kw @18psi.

...and everything happens earlier, its so much nicer to drive!

thanks

Simmo

Nice to see you have some quality mods on my old car Simon:D

Check my sig for where we are at with mine.

btw , Micko with another of my old ones is punching 400rwhp with just a pair of 2530's and a Power FC.:);)

That should get you thinking.......

Hehe

Cheers

Ken

Simmo, just a few questions....R u running a single-plate with ur new clutch, R u on the stock cooler? U should be around 400 plus hp @ the fly with this set-up (Very nice! ) I wouldn't worry about bigger injectors and a bigger fuel pump till you go the GT2530s.:uh-huh:

Thanks Ken, please tell what turbos you are using?

mmmm 2530's

Simmo

The Nismo 581's I bought from Chris Salas ( and had to o/haul )

If I keep the car , will prolly wind up the wick to 1.3 bar and see what she does. The 550cc injectors are at 70% but the pump is starting to feel it...

Cheers

Ken

Yeah still using single plate, not sure how long it will last but seams fine so far. yep stock cooler, stock airbox with kn panel. I calculated roughly 390hp flywheel, not ready for more yet, everything happens so much faster!!

you have a gtr coming yeah?

Cheers

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
