Well just got back from Unigroup in Girraween over half an hour ago as they have been flat out!!

Long story short, no good. Found a split hose on the run, the one that goes from the "twin turbo" outlet past the airbox...GRRRR

So I'll need to fix that before a tune can be sorted...Well, I'll have to go back there tomorrow and get back in line once I fix it :(

Yeah, just some nice cheap ones will even do as long as they are good quality. From memory, I'm pretty sure I had the exact same problem until I replaced it with a hard piping kit and even gained me some extra wasps.

Went with a cooling pro silicone black piping kit. Looks rough enough, and no more leak :)

Oil problem was a combination of rings not bedding in yet and lack of crankcase ventilation.

Once it was caned on the dyno blowby reduced very quickly. 312kw @ 16psi. 326 @18psi. Will go back in a couple of weeks for the power tune :) In the mean time it's Sau nats time :D

Dunno about Sean but with my HPI 3" dumps I got custom 3" to 3.5" front pipes made, couldn't find anything that big off the shelf

Custom pipes are the way to go , but aren't you still restricted by the turbo outlet ? Edited by NISSAN GTR

Mine are twin 3' into 3.5' front pipes as well with flex joint, then through a nismo metal cat.

Getting a 3.5 inch cat back stainless steel exhaust sorted out tomorrow as the HKS one is 3' from cat to 3.5 from the back of the resonator, then less than 3 inch through the rear cannon...

But you got 4L of engine telling that gas where to go lol!!!! gas has got no choice :D

The cross-sectional area of a single 3.5" pipe is about 38 inch square. The cross-sectional area of the twin 2.5" pipes is about 39 inch square. That gives equivalent flow.

Likewise, the cross-sectional area of a single 4" pipe back to muffler is about 50 inch square. And the cross-sectional area of twin 3" pipes is about 56 inch square.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
