Pods need to be covered. Yeah artz yours does blend in also helps your running the crossover pipe. I had mine run down becide the plenum so everything was open. My BMW build will have a front facing plenum so gate is least of my troubles. Putting jez's kando to the test tomorrow it's drift day can't wait

Wakey wakey boys.

All Geared up ready to tow to eastern creek. I borrowed a mates go pro so there should be plenty of incar footage.

I got the tacho working now so atleast we can see rpm to boost response. Dont think the car will see much below 4000 though. Maybe in and around the pits.

I didnt get time to convert the speedo drive so there is still no vct. Should have that sorted before i get onto the dyno next with a 20psi tune. Then its straight to the drags to see what time and mph she can run.

If you can hide things then great. I must be lucky as my engine bay has looked like those pics since 2003 and never booked. So if your car externally is nothing flashy and your exhaust is quiet then there is surely a good chance you will never be asked to pop the bonnet

I have more or less gotten away with murder also when my cars have not been overly loud and have had respectable rims on them etc.

Cheap looking oversize rims and very loud exhausts will get u screwed regarless of how normal your car is. A well kept respectable car will go unnoticed in terms of them being total pricks. Then again it depends what your caught for too.

I love this thread. I wish I had another 6 so I can run a Kando... I think im better off with a stock position turbo on the SR though, good work to all the guys with nice Kandos on their RBs.

Zeeb I have an LS if you are looking, VT2 clubsport kitup with box etc.

Some of you have me on FB, youve seen my photos. Car is mostly done, not going back now :P SR all the way.

    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
