No need for a pod mate, you will only go backwards. simply cut a few holes on the side of the airbox if you think the snorkel is restricting flow. I have seen nearly 500kw through a cotton panel element.

Braided hoses won't help much, they are only rated to 200 degrees anyway. Bring it around again sometime and we can try and run new rubber hoses over the top of the engine. Or when we do the oil cooler perhaps.

Moh, you are the bitch. :P

Update:

Car issue all sorted

Ended up being a faulty CAS

22 psi down to 18 psi, conservative tune to make sure it is all ok.

Then will be coming back with 2-3 degrees more timing (~20rwkw) and up to 6 psi boost

Top line no airbox

2nd line airbox restriction

30kw gain from not having the airbox lid is interesting, shame we didn't run it up with the lid on and no filter though.

Yes will have to book my car again in the future to modify that airbox :/

holy shit mother f**ker yoda and shit.

you got the 350 you wanted on 98, and then add some for E85. (this is on E85 yeah?)

Yeah tune is on e85

Trent said its going to go over 400rwkw easily once we bump up the timing again and boost

But yeah don't need that much power! Happy with my airbox limited 350rwkw for now lol

Haven't even had a chance to boot it yet, wonder if I will have traction....

Interested about the airbox issue my tuner told me same of being held back some kws due to the airbox. But I've also seen people proving that there are no gains with pods.

Depends at what power level I spose

Im sure at 280rwkw difference would be neglible but once you get up in power it makes power harder to get rather than a brick wall restriction

Updates?

Sorry no real updates, have been overseas and taken a step back from working on the car

I think its time to stop spending money on cars lol

In saying that hit a rock in the middle of the freeway that split my lower lip.

So that will get fixed with the insurer along with fixing the whole front bumper, then when I get money a set of D9R's then i think im set :)

what body kit is that mate? looks crazy

Just a Ztune kit mate :)

I was following your thread really closely up until/before you got the kit (and it was still white haha)

Ermagersh you have come a long way man, absolutely balls to wall in terms of the build. Hoping to follow a similar path when I get off p's; in terms of the GTR kit.

PS
I looked up JDL they really don't ship to AUS :'(

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
