MIG, oh and it needs a gun apparently. 

A mate who welds said its "a pretty good welder". 

I was going to just do the buy a cylinder from bunnings thing. 

Mig is pretty good, quiet universal and somewhat easy to use, the hardest thing is setting them up. Most guys just set them up by the sound. 

 

Yeah perfect. They don't offer the 'trade - n - go gas' at my local Bunnings, so Gasweld/Sydney tools are the go-to for me.

Do people still build GT-Rs on here?!

? Hmmm. Not sure! Apparently Pulsar > GTR ??

Since the car has been off the road for so long, the brake rotors had began rust. So gave them some love in the bead blaster and scuffed the brake pads up (figure 8's on a sheet of 80 grit) 

 

Flushed and bled all the brakes, for good measure. 

 

It's getting alot closer to driving it now!

I've had good success scuffing pads before, same pricess pretty much. 

How far away is your tuners dyno?

Yeah it's worked quiet well, spoiler alert... the car is currently driving ?

I've been slack updating this. 

Untuned, however AFR's look excellent. Haven't given it a decent rev, obviously, however I'd be happy to cruise on the highway with it. Drives surprisingly well for a map, which isn't even 'SR20 Specific' 

The dyno is less than 100kms from me.

Had to slightly modify the front cross member to allow extra clearance for the 4-1 headers. 

After that, finally drove the thing!!

 

Obviously light load, watching AFR's like a hawk. 

 

Drove it down to a mates shop where I did a wheel alignment.. for the street. For now..

That is a nice exhaust, along with the rest of the car

Thank you very much! The outside of the car definitely isn't the best. However that's never been my strong suit either. 

 

I'm planning to have a small amount of paint and panel done in the new year, although I'm not going all out, as the car will be used, not a trailer queen / garage ornament.

Looking good. 

Slightly more rear camber? Is that a FWD thing? 

Engine bay looks mint. 

Basically it helps the rear end hang on through a corner, prevent the back end over taking the front lol. 

 

Thanks man!!! 

 

Update: car is at the tuners now

 

And a Skyline for all you SAU Junkies 20191202_153734.thumb.jpg.451e0f2a02b6e6b004e48f68ade342a6.jpg

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
