I dont understand why you have done what youve done to the fuel system! For standard turbos! You dont need it. Plain and simple.

For the money youve spent on the fuel system you could have bought a second hand set of hi-flows and made ~270kw.

Forget about changing the dumps, thats stupid, might as well change turbos at the same time if youre going to do that.

Yes do a front pipe and check the cat. Or go de-cat. (Best)

P.S 13psi is scary for 19 year old turbos.

I think what he has done to the fuel system is perfectly fine. The fuel system is usually the last thing people look at after doing other mods, then when the pump runs out of legs on the dyno you loose the tune and start all over again. You honestly think he would have made 270kw with hi-flows running a standard pump? I don't think so.

My personal pref is to prep it for turbo's first and get all the other stuff out of the way, ie fuel system, ign, exhaust. Then all you have to do is change turbos and not worry about using them to there full potential.

Changing the dumps it's not stupid, if your staying twins and not upgrading turbos straight away then you simply bolt them back up to the new turbos later on down the track. Don't go de-cat either, go a hi flow.

I won't call you stupid for telling him that but like you did me, but if you don't want to go over the pits and get fisted then go a hi flow.

Stockers. Other mods (minimal) are in the thread R31Nismoid linked you to.

Turbos's dont take 5 weeks for delivery from within Australia. Contact the seller, get a tracking number

I purchased the turbos on ebay at auction for a good price. Tried ringing the guy and emailing him but got the feeling that he was avoiding my calls. He was going to deliver them personally he reckons.

Yeh, my car got 50kw's more in rw mode than in aw mode on the same dyno lol, some dyno's allow for the awkw mode and will read like rw dyno's and some have no correction and will just read the power output at all fours.. Also some will read higher than others because the tuners like them reading that way

That's the shiet thing, some peoples stated awd are actually just adjusted to read like rwd figures, at autosalon for example

I've always wondered about the power loss.. 50kw's seems alot to lose just to the front wheels being on? How can some legitimate tuners get readings on awd dyno's that are only a few kw's different from the same car in rwd on the same dyno

I see, Thanks GTAAAH. Didnt know running awkw and running rwkw made such a big difference. But yeah +1 to what you said on dyno readings

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
