the top pippig im really wanting to replace coz as you may see when they put it on it started hitting the bonnet, so i had my mechanic try and lower it as much as he could coz it was rubbing pretty bad

Yep but you will find that is a bigger job than you think as you will need a different intercooler setup etc

yea im just concerned that if it rubs a hole in it im kinda dead in the water

Pack race tape :P Lol, no really you should have the pipe modified to stop the rubbing! Plenty of other cars running that style piping without issues :yes:

yea its lowered now and isnt touching as far as i can tell but if you look at it in real life the way they placed stuff and the cheap rubber piping seems weird. btw a quick qestion with the stock turbos should they constsit with its boost or should it patter out around a certain rmp then kick in again ? or should i have that looked at? lol

first turbo so im still figuring out how it should ride and what it should feel like with the mods he put on it.

i dont know the boost or horsepower yet for sure, need to wait a month to get the cash together to put it on the dyno and have it serviced. but from what the guy i got it from he said it was 187kws and boosted to 14 psi and after a fortnight of driving it i very much doubt that is real.

yea im taking it to millennium motorsports and putting it on the dyno there and he said he would make sure its boosted safely and rework the boost for different gears so i dont get 14 psi on first gear etc. so im hoping that will fix her. apart from that shes a great car even has the factory sunroof =). clean inside just need to remove that pink crap from the skyline on the back and pull off the gtr badge.

Lol well report back with how it all goes mate!

Gotta go, talk later!

Fix the weak spot. turns out the turbo smart machanic boost controller was stuffed and pissing out pressure, running like a dream now all thanks to cyifly from these forums meeting up and having a look at her for me. awsome guy and god damn his car is a BEAST! lol

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
