hey guys,

had my skyline for a while now, its stock apart from front mount intercooler, split front dump pipe-full 3 inch exhaust, pod and boost controller. i have a power fc for it which i want to finally install and get tuned. i've allowed about 1000 bucks for tuning, (is this enough??) and im going to have a little bit of money left over, im thinking about getting a new fuel pump and a fuel pressure reg.

what do you guys think? would my extra money be better spent on different mods? and what sort of power output can i expect (roughly) with these mods? and also reccomend some tuners on the Coast/brisbane area, i'm thinking gavin wood-autotek.

any feedback would be greatly appreciated

cheers guys

Should be able to get a fuel pump and tune for that price but make sure you got decent coil packs and spark plugs. i had to replace mine which added another $800 for coils and spark plugs.

yeah true, the coils are standard and considering the age of the car id say they could do with replacing eh, thanks mate

you wont need an aftermarket fuel reg. the stock one will work fine for your power figures

really? well thats a good thing, maybe just a fuel pump and new coils then? ive been looking at a Walbro in-tank item? wat are these like anyone?? and most probably splitfire coils.

Mark will recommend tomei :cheers: I made about 180rwkw on a 40 odd degree day. He doesnt try to push every single ounce of power possible out of the engine which suited me fine. I asked for a safe tune and thats what I got.

I will definately going back after my next round of mods for another tune.

ok cool, yeah that sounds like exactly the sort of tune i am after, definately safe, considering the age of the car and the amount of standard parts :cool: think il have to give him a call for sure

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
