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.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
