Nice work Chris! Is it a Bellmouth? Guessing you didn't break any bolts?

Yeah its a bellmouth. Jacked the car up last night and started spraying the wd40 every half hour. Must have had about 4 or 5 rounds and then a couple more this morning. Only took a ring spanner to break it and then fingers the whole way. I was pleasantly surprised after reading about some peoples nightmares... My struggles was with getting the cat mount to go around the new front pipe as it was a fair bit fatter then the stock system.. Had to get dad involved and he angle grinded part of the bracket out for me so that it fitted around the pipe. Once we had that sorted it was time to put it back together

Nice work you've done also :D

In fact it sounds like a few people have been busy bee's over the past few days..

Richard getting his hands dirty with an oldy but a swifty ;)

Ahh yes i remember grinding the mount.

The bellmouth is ok to fit, the jjr stainless split dump is a real pain because of less clearance and access to the nuts/bolts.

Like those ones on the engine side are a pain.

Anyway, good it went on easy.

John actually modded my JJR Bellmouth for ease of bolting.

(Heated up and hammered in the sides of the Bell a little) and he ended up just Welding the mount to the pipe.

Installed rear vision cover last night. Looks amazing. Also installed new Strut brace, it took a bit of love to get it on but it went on.

PICS???

is it just me or do you have a new photo in your sig everyday ?

Imagination is a wonderful thing Andrew, it leads to creativity, something the world needs a lot more of ... keep up the good work mate, the world needs you.

I`m going to "imagine" I know what your talking about :P

well I cleaned it, went to get the ipad for a photo ( SLR is flat ) and then when I got back it was covered in pollen shit... and next doors chicken was there, so I took a photo anyway

I also soldered all the twist and taped cables for the stereo

thanks a ton man! she`s getting there :)

that chook is awesome haha, it jumps the fence and plays with my little border collie, the puppy is somewhat scared of it haha

Last time I saw a Chook, (only a couple of days ago) it got it's head chopped off with an axe.

True Story.

Both Skylines are COVERED in a really fine Mist of Sap. :(

sounds like sandpaper when you wind the window down.

Today I did not much car wise other than pull off the passenger side mirror on the Wags and superglue the broken bolt mounts as they are all broken. :(

    • 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!
