I'm sure you'll get whatever you agreed on. I thought scotty might have kept the sump for the VQ35 conversion. Whats the plan, just put another stock back in, or toughen it up a little?

stocky with all my bit's.......TOW it down to VIC.....put it on a dyno and that's it! Then finish off the rest of the car!

New hi flow cat and 3" front pipe going on today to marry up to dump pipe and Legalis exhaust. No more compliance cat & stock pipe! :thumbsup: Powahhhh!

Good stuff Dale! In a couple of weeks you will not even remember how bad the stock lag was :)

What front pipe did you get??

I need to do front, cat and dump soon and then hit the drags again :D

Just purchased some 19" GTR LM4 nismo rims for lots of money. and a HDI kit from Hybrid Power international.

add tyres.. almost 5k on rims and an intercooler.

My mechanic is putting it together today, I'm picking it up tomorrow. Pics to follow.

Nice Rims mate, saw them on IM for a little while and was tempted, but couldn't part with the cash! Need picks for sure once their on.

As for the Mrs part- good luck there! :(

Haha my mate suggested i get 5 sets of different locking nuts and just having all different locking nuts on them.

Be left on bricks without them in the city ;)

just started from scratch with the gizzmo EBC. it was boost cutting like a dog on the freeway if i planted it in 4th. the gizzmo was display 1.03 which i stupidly assumed was 10psi or there abouts - given that it was untouched from when i picked it up from previous owner. i was just blaming the boost cut on spiking due to the cold weather. turns out it was reading in BAR and at 1.03 its actually closer to 15psi! no wonder it was throwing out fuel like a BP oil rig, and boost cutting. also not a good idea to run 15psi on stock wheel turbo as far as i'm aware?!

set the gains back to zero and wound the boost back to stock and went from there. now holding a steady 12psi and boosting so much more strongly to red line. i dont think the car was even getting into VCT before boost cutting before!! pretty happy! in defence of previous owner, it was probably setup for tune with the greddy emanage, but given that is unplugged for now i'm happy with my settings.

What settings did you arrive at, duty, gain and spike?

already have that.

Won the motor last night.....now I just have to get it here! Waiting game begins!

Can I borrow your turbo while its all out! I hear these things can seize up if they don't get frequent use :P

What settings did you arrive at, duty, gain and spike?

i would have to double check, but from memory the duty is at 40, gain i started at 0 and by testing doing 4th gear pulls and then quickly stabbing the throttle into 5th, it was hitting target boost of 12.4 with gain at 30, so i'll leave it there. spike, i have not touched.

if you need help setting one up i found a very helpful and straightforward thread. the actual manual from gizzmo is dribble. i read it 3 times cover to cover and still couldnt work it out!

car pulls a lot more cleanly now. probably not going any harder, but the fact that i can rev it out rather than have it cut at 5k is a plus!

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
