good to see ur car will be back soon tas. tacio bad luck man, shit happens with such old cars.

my update.

saturday - had to work :P , welder had a family emergency so no go on the guards being installed today, however he test fitted on thursday and they were amazingly good considering he made them remotely.

sunday - got back from driving mrs. / family to the airport. had a go mounting up hydro / dual handbrake setup, looking how best to fit. Had to cut allot out of the centre glove box. Unpicked the handbrake mount off the halfcut, going to weld in so both handbrakes bolt in :) and fitted my water temp sensor, catch can, oil cooler adaptor and afm/bov to motor. Cycled some oil through her as she will be sitting for a bit. Notice in pic i f**ked off the rb25 oil cooler/filter and fitted a rb20 filter adaptor, so could bypass the coolent lines. Now oil soely cooled by my mamoth oil cooler.

Tien Ha suspension tommorrow! looking around! be hardi guess im not sure if i should hunt for super streets and get them revalved and resprung with heavier springs.

anyways astro go ready the events section!

dave and tristan, show us a photo of the oil cooler? i found a whole bunch of trust/ greddy ones.. they vary between 16 and 19 rows but are shit expensive.. thus could go same choice as youj guys..

dave, nice work buddy, its just looking better and better each day!

on wednesday, taking my new front bumper to mates workshop to get it fitted and then get a final quote on the paint job.. fingers crossed

The advantage of the TRUST ones is that they have a thermostat, which allows the oil to get up to temp faster so you are not driving round with cold oil all the time.

I am not sure if those coolers dave and tristan got have a thermostat or not but I am guessing not. And they probably need one, they are f***ing huge

oil coolers don't have thermostats, as I can see. unless its built into the core. Depending on placement of the cooler can assist with temperature. I removed my rb25 standard cooler to also prevent to much cooling. There just your basic justjap jobs. You either pay through the ass for a jap branded cooler or just go mediocre with a generic / Chinese brand and use the brain more and sort problems out urself. September is close approaching... i would of had it in paint by now if the guards had been done 1month ago like they should have. Ignore the temp mounts / pen marks everywhere, took a while to position it all right.

Got home from work today, first unpicked and sanded back the handbrake mounts. And had a play mounting the dual setup.

Major photos:

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
