ok so iv bought an old r31 skyline auto in gold/brown colour with a decent body and it's since been customised slightly since this photo

E675DF85-4EFD-4FF1-95CE-D5E88C660C6F-358

its really just a toy so i dont expect it to be super good looking but i had to get rid of that cloud on the bonnet so out came some matte black!

righto iv been working on my xd falcon for weeks now, making it faster with many expensive mods. but now im back ontot the skyline, iv got some chrome trim rings for the steelies which look pretty good from a distance haha and painted the bonnet black, in in the process of changing the grill by taking out the spotlight things and im going to cut up a broken xd grill to fit and it will look fairly old school..

then out of nowhere i got a call....

my dad says to me.. "Jesse iv found something.."

"what?"

"its an r31 skyline, its red, its a series 2 or 3, it's a 5 speed and its abandoned"

i dont remember much after that but i lost my shit and asked him where it was he wouldnt tell me cause id harrass the people who owned the carkpark it was in which we have to contact to get it..

anyway i ended up spend an arvo driving round town and finnaly the last place i went.. there it was. sitting there absolutely covered in dust with expired rego and steelies.. its heaps straighter than my gold/brown one, theres no rust but the paint its rooted (idgaf) and its possibly blown up but i doubt it cause it has been parked there not pushed..

this is it, that's my mate celebrating when we just searched the whole town to find it! and a question is it a series 2 or 3? i cant tell haha its a newbie question probably but idk.. anyway so if i get this car it will be the new project but its still an r31skylinegx so my name doesnt change! anyway ill update again soon :)

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
