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

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
