Ok a bit of progress, if all goes to plan the car will be going up to A&T autos in Toowoomba early next week and receiving a Stage Three (full manual, no more ecu bs) transgo shift kit and a 3000~ stall converter...

I'm just trying to get it ready for this drag day, I have to take it down and chop a certain silver maxima lol

got drag slicks? pineappled your dif? tightened up your rear shocks?

your not ready!

Nope (I don't believe anyone will), nope (havent had any diff issues) and er that's just a turn of a knob on the top of my struts
  • 2 weeks later...

Ok bit of an update, kinda:

*Stage three transgo shift kit has been ordered

*3200 stall to suit my cam has been ordered through the converter shop in brissy

*new tires will be purchased this arvo (only skinny ones as I need them before Monday and no one stocks big ones

*had a talk to Jamie from Forced performance in Toowoomba and confirmed i will be getting a cam package (cam springs pushrods tune) through those guys as soon as the box is finished, ended up going a comp cam 232/234 112lsa lumpy stick and have had the converter built to suit this

*car is booked in for Monday to begin the box overhaul

Also fitted yesterday:

Fitted this afternoon

*new rear tires (just pissy 235s)

*new battery clamp

*new earth cable

*new brake pads

i always thought you were some jerk with a NA skyline,

and then i read this, yes it is a NA but its a LS1 - fair play son

I dont understand how people miss that fact, its written, right there <<<< :P

But yes I wouldn't doubt the fact that I'm still some jerk with an NA skyline (#@t5iv #@Sabbi #@Cadmoon #@olloSKYLINEollo they'll confirm this lol), but yer it's a much more formidable force with the V8 now compared to the old Natro RB.

I'm just glad someone's reading my ramblings

Good luck nick,hope she flys for ya.

Thanks :wub: ... I'm just waiting for the 15th so I can drive it

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
