Hey

So the day started at 8am at DVS JEZ's workshop with fitting the injectors, fuel pump and chucking some new spark plugs in.

After spending an hour or so we couldn't work out why my HKS 700cc injectors were holding back the tune.

I googled for a while and then found out in fact I was actually sold 555cc injectors.

So the tuning starts again.

We then found that the actuator Stao provides with his SS1PU's is a 20psi actuator haha so no less then that for me.

Tuning away again all of a sudden the boost dropped off to 12 psi and the turbo starts working overtime.

Checked the hosing and found that one of the joiners had actually split so DVS was nice enough to cut up a pipe and weld a new joiner.

We then got some well awaited results and she managed to pull a respectable 250rwkw before it pinged.

I told DVS to back the tune off to a safe level because I already was worried about running 20psi through it.

After 13 hours on a Sunday spent dropping injector rings into the abyss and everything that can go wrong going wrong we were done!

Everything always takes about twice as long as its initially expected to, this much I have learned owning a skyline and doing most of the work yourself.. Great result considering the boost issues though!

Okay guys I will post up in here so everyone can get an idea.

So the costs were.

Injectors - $650

Intake - $250

Pump - $200

Turbo - $1600

R32 ECU - $100

Window Switch - $100 (controls Cam timing because 32 ecu cant)

Nistune Chip - $250

Z32 AFM - $130

Tune - $650

Extra pipes etc - $150

Total = $4080 give or take a few hundred wasted on stupid things

Mother f**ker lol.

For those of you chasing a fantastic street setup - do what Kasko has done.

For those of you wishing to see what money looks like when you add a source of ignition, ie a flame - do what I did :P

Off the top of my head, prices not 100% accurate:

Turbo - $1480

Dump/front pipe - $190

Injectors - $1200

Fuel pump - $190

Coilpacks - $520

ECU - $1850

misc (includes intake pipe, exhaust mods, catch can, all installations of parts supplied, gaskets and misc parts, lots and lots and lots of f**king around, and tune) - roughly $4000

rough total - $9430

hmmm.

However my setup is good to crack well into the low 300kw depending on how happy the dyno is hahaha.

I'm slightly jealous of Kasko, mostly because of how cheap his setup was compared to mine....but also slightly because of how fun it must be to drive

But you have to look at this as well Troy

Car came with splitfires and a full 3.5" straight through setup.

Fun to drive haha this thing is insane to drive

Once I get the Slight clutch slip sorted it will have no problem cherping 2nd

Also Troy I tested out your theory about controlling boost with your right foot and I think in a week or so I will have it down

Trozzle, what ecu are you using? Must be a haltech or something similar at that price!

I have a similar list of parts to kasko + a clutch on top and price wise its pretty similar. However, I haven't started putting things in yet Or had a tune so the budget could easily blow out...

You'll have to take me for a spin lol....though I still owe taking you for a spin in mine. I can guarantee there's a noticeable difference between how our cars lay down power though, I'd like to see which I like more ;)

Unfortunately though, the 2 things I had to buy that you didn't are some of the "cheaper" parts :P

And yeah you'll learn to control boost with your right foot. Whether you'll give a shit about doing it or not is another thing ;) trust me, if you had a high/low boost setup, you'd never use low boost anyway :D

I'm running the ViPEC v44 plug n play heh, hence the price and lack of "z32 AFM" in my purchases.

Man...

You guys forget all those little things.. some arent cheap.

Ive recently spent about a grand just on boost control, gauges and a few other things like a catch can and hoses n sht.

think of al the tiny thing like cable ties, tape, connectors, heatwrap, hoseclamps, sprays etc etc.

And dont forget the exe stuff thats not engine related like suspension

Unless your car is really stock, its had heaps of cash spent on it.

But like the teacher says at the start of that Twised Sister video "What are you gonna do with your life!"

Good build dude.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
