Spray the top side of the heat shield, might make it looks a bit better without the rust...

Apart from that looks like a tidy install :)

Agreed, it made mine look a lot better. Just black heat proof paint and i used some stainless allen key bolts because i'm a ricer.

Work in progress shot when i was fitting the 3071

Dori what paint is that man? I want to do my cooler pipes in a similar finish.

If anyone is interested my 10:1cr SR made 200.5kw @ 13.3psi on the mainline today, running a GT2860RS disco and failed VCT. Generally those turbos do 220 if everything is good, considering im using the stock AFM with a 40mm ID and the compression of the motor (dont forget its on a mainline) Im pretty happy with that.

Soon to find out how it drives when I pick it up from Jez.

thanks simon,

yeah im gonna spray it when i get a chance to hit it up with a wire brush and some rust protector first.

What gate, looks stock too meeee :ph34r:

Christ, I was hoping i would be able to squeeze in a std airbox with the high mount. Looking at that pic there is no chance.

Bugger pickling. Isnt even buying it a ball ache these days? Just linish the thing and remove any evidence of the weld. If you do the tig weld neat enough you only really need a bit of scothbrite. This is my gay ass old setup and the TB pipe was pretty quick and easy out of some stainless left over from work, a quick rub with some IPA and green scothbrite and you cant pick the welds

my intakes all aluminium..hence all the lobster, the weight savings are enormous

as for the gate pipe, we didnt have any mandrel 2 inch and didnt care

I dont mind cause when I put it all together you cant see shit anyways..

yeah thats right, I still have my stock snorkel bitches.... :nyaanyaa:

unfortunately though my crossover pipe is like 1mm thick rubbsih aluminium, welds sure to snap oneday..

Just need a cover for the gate and dumps now...prolly give some of that heat shield shit a go too..or maybe just some aluminum plate i dunno..

Hey Roy your gay ass old setup looks alright man Love that TB pipe..whats the dud pipe on the intake with a cap on it??

But wait... No CAI box, Isn't that illegal...You'll be sucking in hot air man, this may cause you to lose power and stuff.

Arent you handicapped enough with an RB20 :whistling: .

Man, your engine bay in MINT! I love it.

The dud pipe/cap is where the Greddy kit returns its BOV too. It has since been cut off and welded up. . The other pipe with hose in it is where my catch can plumbs back to on the street. The car once had a shroud over the filter, but it was pretty shit and when it went missing at the mechanics I never missed it or bothered to replace it. That was 2004 :) There are a two ducts (grey corrugated pipe you can just see in the pic) that duct air to the filter. Its still crap, but meh. When i finally get my radiator setup I will fix all the inlet piping

The crossover pipe is gay because I was a tight ass and used leftover tubing from a pharamceutical project I was working on. It didnt have material certificates so couldn't be used...so i grabbed it for the right price: FREE :) Problem is its 1.6mm thick 316L so far heavier then ideal. But a breeze to weld

we all know you're a ricer Dave.

nice weld job on the cooler piping, who did the fab work for you?

I did that stuff for him from memory. It was ages ago but i think that was mild steel which was then painted black of some variety

:thanks:

Something like this this stuff yeah..cant be too hard to mount it..

td06sh-25g on sr22 (nistune) low and high boost (red run is 14 sec pull so its artificially responsive) it was done to make sure det was 3-4degrees off regardless of load.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
