It would cost you so much your head would explode.

The box my kit came in was so big it didn't fit in a Mitsubishi Triton. It fit in a single cab falcon but with a fair bit hanging out the back.

Yeh im just getting side skirts tho so i wont need a massive box for the front and rear bars, i had my exhaust sent via USPS and it cost around $300 in total and that was really heavy, im thinking it would cost around 150-200 to USPS a set of side skirts over.

G'day Sheldon - Nice write up.

Looking and doing an uprev tune myself. i have contacted tokyo motorsports in Perth (Im from near melb) and they asked me to send over my ECU for an uprev "etune" - derstricting & throttle mapping tune.

Does that sound right?

BTW - aside of power - do you have some crisper response and a bit more above th 5000rpm zone?

I didn't have to send my ECU over, the guy i was dealing with just sent me a beggining map and i worked from there.

I found it 10x easier to spend the extra $250 and buy the tuners pack personally, then take it to a local tuner with a dyno and do test runs there.

eTune will never get you the same kind of tune as a tuning shop with a dyno.

5000+ is very responsive, definitely kicks you back around that marker.

Thanks For that - Starting to think the same about dyno operators.

Only problem of course is finding one in melbourne or sydeny!

Lookig at this stage that I might be making a trip up there to get it done.

Thanks for your help - also good to see another 70th owner.

Cheers

Nice. I have done all the mods as above minus the Exhaust (Only installed the ART Pipes for now).

Question about the Double Din and player.

I had this installed for me by an automotive audio/electrical professional. Everything works fine on the display but i cant get the original (Trip metre/leaf Display that pops up) to display anything

I did get a cheap $350 display unit that came with the lot... gps , reverse camera , dvd etc.

Did you use an adapter?

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
