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.

    • Bah! I can't see the point in custom number plates at all. I went to the rego office, fished through a box of "premium" plates (the ones that had the "not as tall" option for the front plate) and picked the one that had a 32 in it. That's the limit of the effort and cost I will put into number plates. The only plate that I'd consider paying for would be 2332, but that's not possible here because it already exists from probably 90 years ago, and it would cost a fortune to obtain it, if it were available.
    • After chasing my tail with LS results..... and cheaper than a turbo swap... How confident are you that the dyno is accurate relative to other results? How fast is the car - What MPH does it actually run? Is this similar to what people running this power would expect?
    • Hi mate I am having an identical issue with my 98 R34 GTT. The engie suddenly cuts out under load at about 3-4k, black smoke out exhaust. Almost feels like traction control kicking in. No CEL but still going to check codes later today. Car was sitting in the shed for about 5 months before hand and only idled a few times, took her out with about 1/4 tank, filled up and thats when the issues started happening.  Threw on a spare set of coils/harness and checked plugs which was no help. Recently had fuel pump/filter changed so surely thats not the issue unless condensation in fuel, I just havent had the time to drain it It's running a hi flow turbo, bosch 1000cc injectors, walbro 450L, Z32, Nistune etc... All about 2000km old.
    • I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?
    • Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
