I read not to long ago that the guy actually died.

He wasn't driving at the time, he actually had a friend driving because he was intoxicated.

The friend lost control and hit a tree passenger side on.

Yes, he did, he lived on the margin.

There are many life situations, so i abandoned my blog here for some extent period. To begin with, i was on the verge of selling my car, but, thank God it didn't happen...and i continue. Having looked in my pocket i got that only ECU i can afford for that sum of money is APEXi Power Fc.

As friend of mine said "the best ECU is, you local tuner can handle." I bought ECU and commander, for tune i need dataloggit also, so i have a question - should i buy it to tune whenever i need or just lend it for tune and do furthermore adjustments by commander ?

Also i aggregate lots of small things like gaskets,belts, shims,sensors like EGT, oil temp, etc. My woman will get my arse burned and kick me out of home - because i spent alotta money :whistling:

Quality control !

Welcome back mate, good to see you back here!

The Power FC is certainly a very capable ECU still. Your tuner should have no issues with this but I would leave all the tuning to him and not fiddle with anything afterwards without getting the go ahead from him, that is if he is a competent tuner.

One last thing, more pics!

Thanks Josh !

Sure, all tune will be conducted by tuner. i'm wondering - should i make adjustments afterwards, depending on weather conditions ?

Pics are compulsory !)))

The main pain are door sills, as it's impossible to find door sills in decent condition in Russia atm, I decided to cut all rustjunk and wield them, changing rusted areas for new metal, creating new ones piece by piece, certainly making them much stronger than they were before.The same way I'll do to the hood ridges.

Also i've managed to find almost new original nismo front lip and nismo r-tune sidesсirts.

Also I've managed to procure 3 sets wheel nuts made from titan, the famous Mill Spec Grade 5 titan is BT14, this is BT20 material. produced by one of russian military plants, I do believe its strongest you can by for money, i have 2 spare sets, if anybody want them, pm me, price due to our currency rate is decent for this.

Finally i'm getting car from paintshop.

All rust was expelled, door sills was rebuilded with 3,6 mm thick metal.

About colour, i found amaizing guy, god of mixing, base was toyota 077 colour, he managed to 100% satisfy me.

077 is rather warm, much yellow pigment makes it look like ivory, we managed to get cold pearl colour without any blink of yellow and blue shade, green and crimson purple grain, sunk deep into base by special method of coating , big amount of black pigment made car look almost polished aluminium at some angle of view.

For now the only thing to do is to install bodykit.

I decided to install kinugawa 3076 modifyed turbo.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
