hey mate, just want to say yours is the only red skyline Ive actually liked...so well done.. i normally don't like red on cars period :)

im running a simmilar settup to what your looking at... 720cc injectors/z32/nistune/atr43ss2 and im making 265rwkw at 18 psi but have a top end restriction so once i sort that out il be seeing closer to 300
its a great turbo man... lose a little bit of response but it kicks you in the face when it hits... as for the intake pipe i would seriously consider getting that replaced with a metal one at anything over 220kw (from past experience)

cheers man. keep working hard..

gtt master race mate! +1 sub

Timmy just asked him about it!!!! He said it should be sweet. Very excited. The old wallet is taking a beating.

My next problem:

Should I install my turbo and replace exhaust gaskets and drive up to central coast from western sydney?

or should I pay to have it fit in there..

There is a big price difference. Some people say its fine. Jez is advising against it.. I am unsure what to do

Yeah I wouldnt drive it untuned... or if you have too I wouldn't hit more then 3k rpm as well as not driving very far

Have a look around for cheap tow.. or maybe even see if someone on here has a car trailer you can flick some dosh their way.

Good luck either way mate itl be fun when its in!

i put a hypergear highflow on mine many years ago and drove it to the tuner.. going to central coast though you're bound to put it on some load going uphill which might be a risk

tow would be silly expensive.. If it was me 2 yrs ago I would of risked it if it was a relatively standard setup and done something like leave the actuator off so it was a pig with no power, would use a full tank driving that far easily though

Maybe I'm alone in having driven with my highflow fitted for around 6 months running on a 10psi actuator - the ECU seemed to handle it fine (I did disconnect the factory boost control).

If you had a bigger actuator / higher boost, that would definitely be a problem though.

Joey!!!

I wish I could as they are right behind my house. But they seem pretty busy for the time being as I haven't heard back from my enquiries yet. I decided when I go the e85 route and get an ecu I'll do it with them for the final form

Hopefully jez will help me with my daily duties for now.

Man you gotta go in and see them, they deal with bulk time wasters so at times they may be too busy to reply or call back. If you see them face to face the they know your serious. Even after all this time I always going in and have a chat to the boys if I need stuff done :)

They should still be there when you finish work and if you can't get Yavuz make sure you get a hold of Mark

Yeah that's probably why I think. That's fair enough. I've only heard good things. I have been there before a while back briefly. I don't know them personally though. I've already committed to jez. So we will see how it goes.

Put a leather steering wheel cover. Turned out okay

My leather was all cracked and spliting on my standard wheel so I put a JDM S15 wheel in wiring harnes is the same as r34 so the airbag & horn plugs straight in :)

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
