Has anyone installed the MotorDyne one yet? I've got mine but the mechanic is telling me its best installed when the engine is stone cold - i hate to be without my car, even for a night.

Also, does anyone know if the ECU/Throttle Body instructions on the last page actually apply to the V?

hate to leave the car even 1 night? when my v35 just arrived my home and driven for 3 days, had problem with pressure sensor, air sensor, brake light... sent to mech for 4 days..(first thing tat come to my mind every morning, is my car)

tat's 1 month ago? now it is with mech again for audio(just simple system), extractor, exhaust, plenum spacer.. drop off monday, estimate friday pick up.. (i will give him another week or so..) extractor itself will take 2 days..

hope everything is fine by then~ :D

will ask about how the install of spacer went thru..

  • 2 weeks later...

Fitted mine today.

My butt dyno do feel the responsiveness and the speed going quicker than before. I'm very happy for the money smile.gif

Took me about 3-4 hours, because i take my time and cleaning the inside of the plenum and the throttle pipe.

If someone decided doing it themselves, you need to get the Torque wrench and it's very important for the installation. Find the one that can do Inch Pound rather than Foot pound.

Just a quick note, that i already have the CF tube intake, Drop in K&N filter, and the Amuse Exhaust. So that's probably why i felt the improvement more.

Still wiating for a before and after dyno to see if it was really worth it

Cheers

Geoff

I have done the before and after test. Read the "Skunk 2 Plenum Spacer Kit" thread.

But if you want the short and sweet answer 7kw at the wheels gain

anybody buy one and want to sell it now?

+1

looks like we r too late for this now...when's the next one~?

btw while I was waiting for the car getting service at Melb City Nissan this arvo, heard a call about someone need help for putting up spacer~ :rolleyes: ?

not sure if its for V tho, i am bad at ears dropping~ :blink:

Ok got my kit the other day, just have to find a spare day to install it.

Was reading through the instructions and it makes reference to diagrams that don't exist and I believe would be relevant. It also mentions that you should drain the engine coolant, do you know if this was done on yours Paul, just that the videos and DIY don't mention it?? (As far as I could see)

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol.
