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 !

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
