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..

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.

Cheers

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

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)

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
