i bought a 99 RSFOURS off a fellow forum member. have not had a good chance to 'get to know' the car, but i'm pretty happy with it so far! think the first step will be getting the emanage in and tuned and work on tuning out the R&R when it hits boost - 3 gear loaded from low revs and i could just see the fuel vapour pouring out behind the car. :P

Nice, do you have a tuner yet? I can recommend Cihan (Etuner) who has done a great job on mine, or Trent (Status). Both great if you hope for the best tune.

No to the Emanage, buy Nistune supplied and fitted, save money, get same result, be happy.

don't worry Justin, it has gone to a good home - i'm sure the void will be full of EVO before you know it. The whole drive home my mind was ticking over - can't wait to get stuck into it!

will need to do some research on the whole nistune vs piggyback deal, but i already have the emanage and a FIELD harness with the car - so in terms of convenience it's probably going to stay that way. Tuner wise, i'll probably go with Chasers. Paul tuned the Wolf3D that was in my sklyline and that turned a mess of a car into a half streetable car - plus they're also on my side of town.

will look at getting it tuned again once i get a dump pipe on it, and potentially highflow the stock turbo - needs more powahh!

I figured you already had the Emanage, has Paul worked with them? If not sell it and go with his suggestion.

planning on giving the car a full detail this weekend as it's been living outside for a few years i think, starting with a claybar and working through the different lotions and potions.

my only question is, is there any specific care i need to take with the pearl white paint? i've heard that it shouldnt be polished? or is that more in reference to using cutting compounds?

You should be right with the claybar kit, comes up great.

yeh i'm not worried about that. its the restoration steps - i've got pretty much the entire meguiars catalogue of cutting creams at my disposal from ultimate compound, swirl remover, paint cleaner to polish.

i've heard that with some pearl paints, the pearl is mixed through the top layer of clear coat, so by cutting it you can actually cut back the pearl???

M35 is in the paint, mine has a clear hardcoat over everything.

pearl paint is actuall matte with a clear coat over the top of it

so just check that its clear coat safe and don't take too much off

i reckon the most abrasive you need would be the swirl remover

New brake pads woo! QFM HPX's. Quite happy with them so far. And the service was insanely good. Ordered them midday and got them next morning. OvErNiGhT pArTs yO! Wonder how much better a1's are

Do someone with an auto S1 a favour and sell them the E-manage - they can't really use Nistune. For you Nistune will be neater and better!

A1RM's will stop you significantly quicker than the HPX's will from experience... I have noticed that the A1RM's are a damn sight dustier though!

if anyone is interested www.pivotracing.com has a sale on a lot of their gear, and with the USD up around 94 cents, it's a good time to buy parts from O/S.

i just got a speed meter and a shift lamp (yeh i know, couldnt help myself). speed meter is to correct the speedo, the 19's have thrown it out - and i figure this is cheaper than a speeding fine!

Make sure you post pics of what you do to it. On the Nistune I have heard they are good also, They were still only new when I got the emanage fitted but if I had my time over I would seriously consider one. Trent at Status does them, also he does a bit of work with the Hypergear turbos so you might consider looking him up if you want a highflow. The hypergear stuff is good value and I have heard heaps of people on here claim good results from them.

got some different wheels :happy:

downgrading to 17's but they are wider and clear the r34 brakes without spacers (win)

and also 8"+35 instead of 7.5"+42

will post some pics when i clean them, they look ok but i'll get something better soon

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
