As title says I'm new to the skyline world. The forums are great, haven't spend this much time reading since...can't remember when.

Anyway, I'm about to become the owner of a nice R33 SII GTST. I'm looking at getting a fmic, looking around the forums the TMU boys seem to be

cracking down on chopping the body up for the intercooler piping. I know you can get en eng cert, but i'd rather not stuff around.

So what are my options? I see that justjap have a 'stealth' intercooler, where the pipes return to the same side. Tho there are some tight bends in it,

more lag?. But there is also a dual outlet core as well? I've done a few search's around the place and can't find out much about 'dual outlet' cores. What is

the performance difference etc? I think the dual outlet on justjap is 3" and the standard piping is 2.5"? so 3" to 2.5" silicon hose will do?

I dunno?

i'd go the stealth cooler if you wanted to keep the car legal but if you chuck on a pod as well it defeats the purpose of having a stealth cooler and get ready to be defected once pulled over.

the JJR stealth series intercooler is a wise choice...I don't beleive there is any tight bends (the only bend I can see is from the cooler itself (thus making it a turnflow) and shouldn't be any lag. but as jake said if you do get a pod filter, you just be defected as you can only have one intake mod BUT if you want to be sneaky about it get a cold airbox assembly like the they on Just Jap have for sale so then you have a pod but it's also sealed so all you're getting is cool air running into it

Interesting Signature you got there BigDirtyJase.

Go for the stealth intercooler setup and get it intalled professionaly and if you wanna upgrade the intake, just put a high flow panel filter. APexi, K&N filters, any.

yep stealth is the way to go !

oh wait think i remeber somthing about air bags ? if you car dont have them wont be to hard to pass it. but TMU wont care and defect you anyway.

i got a twin entry one. but too many people getting done for it, end of feb it should be off and up for sale and replaced for the stealth. so much stuffing around,

get it done right the first time !

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
