Ahaha, not to worry about that, my future list of planned mods (*cough wish list cough*) is WELL under construction :thumbsup:. Moar powah indeed.

I think stock is usually closer to 160awkw from what I've seen though. But still good gains for $in for sure.

Have been lurking many threads :P

Can't wait.

Still a long wait to go though, haha. *continues the dream*

Edit: Also how's the steak shop coming along? Feeling like a steak soon... when do you guys open? :P

Edited by kaitoukid

I was out there earlier actually. Looks like a restaurant now, plaster is almost finished around the place so rest of the fitout should be done in 2-3 weeks.

Hope to open end of Jan and then be in full swing by mid/late Feb (won't open to capacity right away). Liquor License won't be ready till Feb anyway so it'll all fall into place nicely

brought a pioneer vsx-527-k, great a/v reciever, very cheap, 397, but took it back cos the media streaming / internet radio interface was sub ordianry

if you have an old a/v reciever and are keen to upgrade this unit is a bargain at 397. its a shame i wasnt so keen on the streaming/internet radio (even with DLNA)

the interface was clunky, cumbersome and just slow for my usage. back to vsx-522 and media monkey

its all in the gearing and final ratio that makes up for the lag

how else do you make so much power and midrange from a 4cyl 2 litre with a big single

this

with the bigger turbo, my skyline made full boost at 3200 and the evo makes the same at 4000 (dyno - 4th gear) but they both feel close to the same and the evo is a tad more responsive, despite making boost nearly 1000 revs later

Power commander and BMC filter installed.

One step closer.

What's left?

Glad I got mine running today, f'ing thing, wasn't what I wanted to spend the day on.

Damn it sounds good with the aftermarket exhaust though

Yeah for every Skyline gear change, EVO is doing about 1.5 gear changes. Such a nice gearbox though, punching 1st to 3rd so seamless

Waiting on the o2 sensor eliminator, and the replacement indicator wiring adapters to arrive.

Once I've got those I can put it all back together and it should be good to go. Gotta get down to Vicroads and get a new plate for it too, cars etc can all be done online but for some reason they make you go into a branch for bikes ffs.

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
