Progress is slow, been repairing a hail damaged saab the old man bought. Bloody cars take up alot of time, i picked up some pipes today , these are for the dump, gate and intake. Just need to learn how to weld or bribe the old man to do it..

It looks straight forward enough and these bends should be pretty close so we'll see how it goes. Atleast this way im learning how to do shit instead of just paying people.

Im considering adding the 3 1/2 inch xforce muffler straight after the cat to have a true 3 1/2 inch system as the hks system has a section of 3inch but obviously it will still make the power goal with 3inch system but the noise factor is unknown without a middle muffler atleast.post-70965-0-50260200-1464770462_thumb.jpg

Some progress on the dump pipe and intake pipes, hopefully the bonnet closes with return flow intercooler pipes. Had an adaptor plate made for the air reg, had to use a spacer to allow room between the dump pipe and wastegate.post-70965-0-71894700-1465723663_thumb.jpgpost-70965-0-42685200-1465724001_thumb.jpgpost-70965-0-30283300-1465724165_thumb.jpgpost-70965-0-22091400-1465723889_thumb.jpg

Attempting to make a cold air intake with the spare hole. Did lots of grinding and now just need to cut segments to make the turns and plumbing.  I know its rough but i no have $$$ for fabricators ???

Probably make no difference but you know, racecar and all that..

Getting closer, fmic is on and trying to create this intake pipe to the throttle body, no idea how close it is to the bonnet.  The cold air intake is very crap lol, will get it done by a pro once the car is tuned etc. Put the oil and coolant lines on turbo, getting a fabricator to weld elbow on the comp cover . Hope to fire it up in next few weeks ?

less back pressure = more power

merge when gases cool down, exhaust gases more condense thus less restriction.. also allows you to run a cat and when you're on noise.. you can bypass the cat :)

Cars not far off, VCT oil feed is an asshole, its in a terrible spot to get plumbing upto.  Have a nice oil/air separator being made to replace the windscreen washer reservoir.

Took the Avcr out of the silver skyline  and its wiring, hopefully the tuner canake sense of the birds nest, its mostly jap wires for the old radio i think, looks like a bitch of a job.

Well no updates cause cars still sitting at tuners, considering taking it somewhere else.

Anyone had good experiences with other shops around brissy such as Godzilla Motorsport or 101 Motorsport?

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
