Hmm I thought the dolphin intake was of dubious quality?

I wouldnt say the quality is dubious, its a really solidly constructed unit. The dubiousness would be the effectiveness it has on the restriction that needs to be removed.

It only replaces the black plastic bit between the AFM and the rest of the intake.. obvious the AFM housing is in this photo (not mine) but it illustrates it fairly well.

Dunc should be able to tell us now, but he's probably off driving it to see what it's like!

Have you got any photos of it out of the car Dunc?

Car is boxed into the garage and I cant be bothered moving stuff off the driveway :domokun:

I didnt bother taking any photos of it out of the car, it looks identical (+ engine dirt) to the photos on Dolphins website.. you can see exactly how it mounts up based on the kink compared to the stock plastic unit :thumbsup:

I'd be curious if you notice any difference then. It doesn't look like it'll make bugger all difference to me. Same shape, except metal instead of plastic?!

Got my rear sway bar onto my car last night....rear end is working much better.

Bald Hangkangs in the wet with LSD and 2WD is a little bit of fun......note to myself!!.....install windscreen wipers on the passenger and drivers side windows! laugh.gif

What is the plan now? I've seen you in a few different discussions now and it sounds like it might be a bit unique...

Sussing out a few 340mm rotor combinations to run with an R32 GTR caliper/ offset bracket. If it works out, I'll detail the whole thing; could be a budget monster upgrade.

A chance chat with another forum member has got me motivated again.

Could also end in tears; we'll see.

Interesting. 340x32?

Could be good, but when the new setup runs out I'll probably go 350Z Brembo or Akebono.

That's the plan, hopefully be able to bring it in under a grand, closer to $800.

i'll be up for that one Dale, got the callipers already :)

Apparently there was some industrial action in the states, and my BCs are still sitting in a container somewhere >_<

Now I'm unlikely to get them for another 2 weeks :rant:

Car is getting a service and wash today though, have to clean the bugs off.

I was really lucky and got my Tanabe Sustec coil overs from JDM Concept when he had an end of financial year sale so I got them delivered for the ultimate bargain price of $740 nyaanyaa.gif Thats half price and it was the only set he had on sale. I love the ride and most importantly the boss doesn't complain about them being too hard.

Pulled bumper reo and intercooler off yesterday and this morning. cleaned intercooler, not very dirty though, cleaned lights while they where out, look a little better. cut reo a bit in an effort to get my front bumper sitting better over the intercooler, reo sits heaps better but front bar still out of adjustment though. bad. guess i'll have to put the sikaflex back in to hide the gap, and save for an R34 conversion kit haha

Absolutely nothing yet cause I don't pick it up till next Sunday lol. But 3" dump pipe back exhaust will be fitted straight away and have nismo gt le mans group A turbos, jjr adjustable cam gears, 750cc injectors and walbro fuel pump (if needed) ready to go and will be getting haltech platinum pro for management. Will keep updating progress

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
