As much as this is the FI section you have to agree this is where all the mech heads hang out.. nobody goes to the NA section to talk about building motors etc. That section is all about who has the best looking slow skyline.

a video thread is definitely cool.. like the dyno thread. This turbo setup will make you lol this hard.

I like the idea.

yeah dyno videos suck. seen one seen all. i dont even watch my own car on the dyno lol

I think a good reference video thread would be in car of the speedometer while driving on the street or track with a description of mods listed. Eg would be.. r34 gtr 2.8 -5 than you can compare with the next guy who has a standard -5 or -7. It would also make peoples choices easier who is thinking about -5 or -7 and you can compare the lag and how fast it builds revs ect

Yeah this is a good idea it will help those people make choice on what set up they want, if they arnt able to go for a drive in a car with a similar setup to get a feel for it. this will at least give them an idea of what it will be like.

Problem with this is if you have a decent after market ecu you can fudge the Tacho to make things look alot better than they really are, that also goes double when they show ecu data video captures for speed aswell..... Also put R32/33 GTR Front n rear diffs/gears in an R34 GTR like alot of Jap shops used to do and watch the speedo!!! Not to say way too many Dyno's DONT seem extremely generous, but IMO listening to a car on the DYNO once you hear "THAT NOISE" you know something special is on the rollers..... I think put any and all video's up, there's always gona be haters and admirers..

least give them an idea of what it will be like.

Why not go visit wasteland?

That way if some dick head decides to post something stupid ACA etc can't access without creating an account and finding the video.

Aka wasteland isn't viewable without a login.

I think this thread is just asking for trouble

But that's just my opinion

Nice video's guys.

I don't see how its asking for trouble if the video is of the speedometer? In video 2 its obvious he is at the track as well.

Feel free to move to appropriate section if you think its best though

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
