Yeah, but you are comparing Mitsi's Hero car to Nissan's generic Skyline Aaron.

Hardly fair. Of course the Evo is going to be better than a GTS-T.

Apples and Apples would be to compare the Evo with a GTR...

Btw, I actually really like some Evo's

I don't always PN-Mad, but when I do; I Daleo. ;)

The search is over; AND it's a Nissan.

Bam!

You can thank me later. ;)

Also comes with semi's, and they look grippy.

Well, after cracking the shits, and swearing I'll never do anything but just service the car, I've gone and bought stuff!

Plenum I got second hand, pads I got are QFM HPX for the front, and something else for the rear cause it was all that was in stock. Brakes are in preparation for the "CAMS come and try" day happening early next year. Apparently the HPX are rated 150 degrees higher than what I have on the front at the moment.

Hopefully Jez will be able to fit me in for a NA tune early next year, to give me a few more horses to play with.

well the plenum is in, after some help from the guys. First impression is heaps of induction noise. A little bit of resonance at 2600-2700rpm. Feels like some decent gains in the top end of the range, and feels like it does rev a bit freer.

Will be going for a tune early in the year to see if we can't squeeze some more out of it even at this light bolt on stage.

Those 6 middle plenum bolts you mentioned.

Can't believe Nissan tapped them right through.

Thought I was going mad trying to put the bloody thing on. Wish someone would give me some high flow cats....

Well, its a hot day as most of you know. I thought it would be a good idea to strap the laptop in and see what the coolant temps did on the way to work. Medium traffic, city commute to work, AC on.

Highest I got was 85 degrees! It sat neatly on low 80s the whole way, even sitting at lights. Cooling mods are Big mishimoto Rad, Nismo thermostat, Scotty cooling mod, and an ext tranny cooler.

I was pretty damm impressed!

That's pretty good Alex, nothing over 85 is a great result; looks like Scotty's cooling mod is my next move.

What was ambient temp?

Edited by Daleo

That cooling setup is pretty awesome. Mine peaked yesterday at 88 degrees - ambient was 44!

Do you have the airbox fitted Alex? Interesting that your intake temps are very similar to mine.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
