Looks awesome, credit to you buddy. What are the thoughts of the guys from HKS about the Hypertune manifold, did they comment in comparison to any of the Japanese branded products?

Honestly they were pretty impressed with the workmanship but there were a few mods to be done to make it all fit which isnt the japanese way, it wasnt a straight fit.

Here it should come from the maker and fit straight off the bat.. thats how they do business here and thats why some parts are expensive..

Barr that,... that they are looking forward to tuning and seeing what differences there are are if any against jap manufacturers..

Personally I think they will be suprised

Hey Mark,

The excitement is palpable. It seems like its all falling into place now. All the shiny bits in the engine look good.

Cheers

We are going to do first tune this fri and sat then its holiday time here until Jan 4th.

Then some more dyno tuning and then taking the car down for Tokyo auto salon and some fun and more road tuning on the highways...

Japanese tuning maybe more conservative but a hell of alot more fun..!!

Ended up doing a plumbed setup and stashed the Bov behind the bumper.

Cant wait to have a play tomorrow!!

This what xmas morning looked like for me!!

Bit of video of first running and mapping done on Boxing day..

And no comments on the shakey camera work please..I was lucky enough to be standing let alone hold a vid cam steady with the hangover I had from xmas!!

u must have had a big night lol

sounds very nice...congrats! what hard pipe kit is that, hks? can you also verify if that top pipe sits any higher than the stock top pipe with 'twin turbo' badge?

Yeah Marko was a big night !!

The Piping is HKS Racing Suction Kit and no it doesnt sit higher than the stock pipe. We had to do some mods on it but that was due to turbo setup.

looks real sweet in the flesh.

Car is being dynoed as I type and should be ready for pickup on Monday and a run in drive to Auto Salon...Cant bloody wait!! :rant:

Hey Mark,

Any updates yet? You must be having too good a time at the TAS. I was there last year, spent two days drooling over the cars (and the girls of course!)

I am so eager to see how your dyno goes

Cheers

Matt

Cheers fellas !!

Just got into Yokohama an hour ago and cracking another beer aka medicine!

Got the Ferry over to the top of Honshu and drove all day to Tokyo.

Left Aomori this morning and was dumping snow but the new grumpy beast was like a cop in shit and had no trouble.

HKS guys have done a run in tune setup and limiter is set at 4000rpm and very low boost but was able to cuise the highway sitting on 130-140kph all the way down.

Matt I've been to Auto Salon a few times but first time bringing my 33 with me.

Not sure yet but either go to Mines open day tomorrow and Salon on Sunday or other way round.

I'm staying just down the road from Daikoku Futo so will be hitting that tomorrow and will take heap of pics and some video.

When I get back the car will have the boost ramped up and more tuning of Fcon then bit more driving and final dyno run at full boost plus we are going to set a scramble boost of 2 Bar on boost controller for those 30 secs hits of fun.

Then it will be time to throw some body parts on.

I've got new genuine 400R front Bar and Nismo lip to go onbut want to do it when the car gets to OZ so they'll be going over in a container with a bunch of other parts and wheel sets.

I'll try upload some pics of Auto Salon etc over the weekend..

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
