sorry man but personally i liked the vs-kfs better still looks good though

chuck a set on ur car and go for a hard cruise and tell me how it handles

believe me when u get out u would hate them, buying 19's was the biggest mistake i ever made with my skyline. the best rims i reckon i had were the 17's that i put on it for a while 8f and 9 rear best handling out. these 18s arent far behind them though. they have better steering feel too

I prefer the TE-37's i'm sure once he puts better quality photos up it will show it in a better light =D

But as you said each to their own!

ill have better photos up as soon as i can. its hard to take photos of the wheels in different weather because the camera just wont make out the color properly, working on getting a digital slr and taking some nice shots after a clean and poilsh

ill take some pics some this week dude, sorry been hektically busy.

small update, i got my brakes finally delivered yesterday. 356mm front rotors with 8 piston calipers. getting them fitted this week as well. i bought a bride vios 3 from the traders section, ive put most of my interior and dash back in just waiting on the door trim which will be ready in a week or 2.

also bought a kaaz 1.5 way mechanical diff. get that fitted up soon. i got my licence back like 2 weeks ago so ive just been enjoying driving again too much to do any thing to it lol.

was at sabaddins this week and worked out whats happening with the head. getting alot of tomei gear into it. cams, gears, valve springs, lifters, retainers etc redline will be around 8.5k

turbo will be a t04z with split pulse and surge slotted front cover, running twin gates on a split pulse manifold etc. droping power down to a more reasonable 600hp lol

ill be taking the engine out in about 1 month in my garage at home and getting it ready for seam welding and welding all the holes in the engine bay up so it has a really clean look and all the gluey looking stuff around the strut tops removed and smoothed over, same in the boot.

shane from psi parts has some new carbon goodies sitting in his garage for me atm so i have to get over there and pick them up

completion date has been moved to around feb - march. i wouldnt be taking it out during summer anyways so i think that time is pretty sweet

Any reason for custom? I guess no one produces a twin gate manifold as a product... why not a Full-Race; the dollar is sweet!

im going custom because my friend is an amazing fabricator. he will make it for me based on a 6 boost manifold but with a proper twin scroll merge collector + the twin gate setup.

the full race ones are nice but i think that what we have come up with will be better....also i wanna support the aussie market not the o/s one.

only engine internal will be japanese. everything else will be local or custom.

i have a few local (aus) made parts

garret turbo

pwr radiator, cooler, and oil cooler.

exhaust is custom made by my mate here also.

they will all be here in like 4 weeks or so, so ill take the car out after that. also the bride seats put in and is fkn awesome, better then my ergo 2's that i had in there before, getting out is a bit of a flamin mongrel though lol

alrighty,

this project is not gonna be completed.

if u are interested in any parts from the car it is going to be taken back to completely standard/stock and all aftermarket parts will be sold off.

everything except for the 1200hp bottom end and hypertune plenum and tb will be listed for sale. as i need those 2 components for my next build.

thanks for following my build. my next one will be better and completed when my new car arrives, just doing the final paperwork atm.

cheers

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
