I'm thinking of just doing exterior and engine bay. I'm 90% sure it will be ready, I've been told I should get it back tomorrow it's on the dyno as we speak.

Sin it's time to start putting that big build to work! No more 'little turbos' :banana:

OK so its on sunday then. Well this changes everything! I'll most certainly be in town, buuuuuuut most likely too hungover to even contemplate getting out of bed, let alone driving somewhere... what time are we meeting?

Well I've pretty much already got everything for that already so don't worry about bringing anything unless you have any microfiber towels, you can never have enough. Oh and if either you or Shell could bring a second bucket that would be good.

I'll see what I've got but I can certainly pick some up. Do we need more rags and things for engine bays? What's the best thing to use on all that manky dirty shit?

If you need me to bring anything else let me know :)

I'll just pick up a few more when I get everything else tomorrow. As for rags, it depends on how you want to clean your engine bay. If you want to take your sweet time and do it the safest way, buy some rags from bunnings or something but the easier and quicker way is with degreaser and a hose (as opposed to getting it off with degreaser and a rag - It tends to push it around a lot). Your average car detailing place uses pressure hoses but they do it while your car is hot. Not great for your block and turbo. I'll be doing mine and Shell's while our cars are warm and then starting them up to help it dry out. Really up to you.

If you know what you're doing I'm happy to follow your lead!

What time is this all kicking off?

Well, I think we should be right, just know there is a small risk.

I think around 1pm or 2pm. We are going to have to meet up at a car wash to get a few things done (damn water restrictions) first though.

Damn it, i have to work all day Saturday now so im not sure when im going to wash my car I dont want to turn up with a dirty near stock Skyline :P

I'd wash it for you if you had a way of getting it to somewhere with a hose.

Sorry guys I'm out (and too lazy to fix numbers).

Rearranged the maybes to the bottom of the list to make it easier to take them off if they drop out.

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
