I wish, each piece is indexed into a spiral to fit the confined space then sanded internally to smooth it out. I would be doing nearly as much welding with the pressed doughnuts and they aren't cheap or tight enough.

The hole in the doughnut would need to be no bigger than about an inch.

I don't mind the welding, its good practice. :huh:

why dont you get it ceramic coated??

Cost.

I got enough ceramic wrap to do 20 inductions for $50, and I aint ripping the exhaust manifolds off to coat unless I have custom ones to go on. (with a gt3076 of course)

Alright, so latest (and last) fuel economy update for those that are interested

Usual trips to and from work with a (very) heavy foot :P and about 100kms worth of freeway cruising

65L

549kms

roughly 8.5km/L or 11.8L/100kms.... so still good IMO

not bad without a tune! :D

22kw increase, not bad I thought.

Cihan thought I may be maxing the compressor so I guess i need to free up more restrictions, like the turbo outlet pipe next. Must be well over 400 horse at the crank now so the ATP highflow is doing pretty well considering.

Mmm, need to find some way of jigging these up off the car. Anybody got a spare turbo laying around? :D

will do soon, Cam had it but it has gone to be rebuilt and the broken one will be off the car next week.

I cen send it to you when I get it back if that will speed up the process.

Cheers

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
