Oh, I'm not actually getting much. The engine is perfectly fine and doesn't need any work at the moment. I'm getting some more cleaning stuff (running low on some things), a Headlight restoration kit, Microfibre towels!, some Mesh for the front skirt (I've been told it wont pass pits without it?), some valve caps for my tires (its missing them) and a lug nut...because im missing one and it annoys me. The plan tomorrow is to shell the interior (as best as I can) and clean it out.

The car has been sitting in a commercial garage in welshpool for 6 months collecting dust both inside and out, so before I can do any real work ,I need to clean it.

I haven't got a time frame in mind. I'm in no rush because I have a daily (2014 Lancer ES) and my Motorbike ( <3 ) so the skyline is purely a hobby... but, the sooner the better, I guess. I don't think it'll take too much, but it's a first for me. I have a friend coming around possibly on thursday arvo to take a look at my cluster, because my Tachometer, fuel gage and boost gage don't work. So, if every thing goes smoothly it should be ready for the pits next week, maybe.

Thinking about making a thread to document the work.

Selling for a 2 door? ;)

SNAP!.

4 doors are where it's at man ;)

I know I need to take it over the pits, but there are obvious things that *need* to be done first. Once the obvious things are fixed, i'll take it over the pits and see what surprises me.

While you're on Z00key, Wanna tag along in the morning? (I'm leaving early, around 9ish)

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
