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.

Cars booked in next friday, goal for now is to get it started.  Still have vct plug, cas plug, z32 plug to wire up, hopefully theres no issues. 

Predicting a fairly angry note of it ?

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?

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
