WOOOOOPPP!! 100 posts..yay :woot:

Thanks guys. Yeah when the valve is closed its got this fighter jet kinda sound..weird but cool.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the canon look or sound so it was twin tips from the start. Looks more stock at the same time.

The exhaust sounds really cool when actually driving, will try n get some videos one evening. Keen for the next part for which saving up has started

In the meantime, eyes peeled for smaller additions/improvements..always open to suggestions... :yes:

Cheers guys.

Performance wise, its not really much different, it feels like it revs faster but that may just be the noise making it feel like that.

With the valve closed, boost takes slightly longer to spool but its not really noticeably worse.
Car needs a proper tune to fully utilize the exhaust.

Yeah...seems to attract bad drivers. I would have thought the loud exhaust makes people more aware of me being there...
Got a quote from Spikes Auto today. Should be all fixed soon if everything goes to plan.

Bored at work so thought I might as-well think about what I want to do more..time and money is limited but no harm in having dreams.

Performance:

> Rest of exhaust changed, (Dump, cat etc)
> Nistune + Retune

> R33 GTR Brembo's

> Return flow intercooler....maybe....

Aesthetics:

> Change front bar. I like the Nismo/Jetspeed thing

> Install some form of rear diffuser

>GTR Pods

> Change front seats, either R33 GTR's or some other branded ones

The list goes on and on but these things I want to do atm.

Not much progress. Was bored today so I thought I'll give something a go. I cut a blocking plate out of a coke can and installed it on the BOV for some sick pigeon noises. Was all right with car in garage and airbox cover off but while driving wasn't very noticeable so I got rid of it and went back to stock.

What pod filters do people recommend?

I have a 3A racing (yes the one from autosalon mag) - seems quieter than my SCA one I had on there before. Had the BOV blocked when I had the SCA BOV and the pigeon were strong with this one

Check out my build thread if you want to see how I made my pod filter legal (enclosure, brackets etc)

Cool thread, had a quick read, will look up more about these things..

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
