With all this lock down stuff I have gotten into the sil80 and gone through parts to sell.
Fixed the leaking fuel lines at the fuel tank & drained the stale fuel. Updated firmware on ecu as it was late 2018 firmware.
Removed front & rear lca and knuckles from the car. Pulled out spare frame and degreased & pressure washed away all the muck.

I went and bought a small press and removed all the ball joints and the bushes I could

Also started sand blasting the Brembo calipers ready for powdercoating & rebuild

Got the gktech weld in plates for castor brackets & rear subrame to be done before being powder coated.
Debating wether to buy new MCA coilovers for this or put the old ones back in and buy new ones for the race car.

Nice work, on my to-do list as well from 7 years ago - still haven't gotten to it lol

it totally changes how they drive, never know it may make your barge almost handle like a BMW :rofl2:
Last time I did it with an energy suspension urethane kit(still going good in the race car), will get the whiteline rubber stuff this time for street car comfort.

You may be correct with this one - but motivation is gone lol

Once this virus stuff calms down a track day with get you motivated

So.............
Got bored of working on the sil80 and had the need to just go drive a car with a few modern features.  Set a budget, made lists of minimum requirements, lots of car review videos and scoured the internets for a deal.
Jumped on a plane and did a road trip

Plan is just to drive it while I tinker with the projects and the warranty runs out.
Remembered I bought a key chain while at the Nismo Factory last year

Got to now get stuck into the sil80 as need to move it out the house garage.
Got a heap of parts sitting here from GKTech & Whiteline so plan this week is to weld in some plates & paint suspension arms and Brembo's. Next week install the bushes and brakes to get back on the ground.

I'v looked at those as a cheap weekender a few times, keen to hear what you think of it.

Man/Auto? 

I see around the interwebs people are able to get 230-240rwkw+ out of them, but I have a hard time wrapping my head around 240rwkw from an NA v6 with exhaust/intake and a tune.

with 11:1 CR, Wiki says it's 261kW from factory (i'm guessing at the flywheel) so seems reasonable

Is that a nismo spc or something? I thought a standard 370 was like 245kw at the fly? 

245 at the fly plus what, like 30kw for a full exhaust, intake and a tune? I guess that could yield 240rwkw if it's only losing 10-12% through the drivetrain. 

I think Rob needs to do all the mods and tell us how it goes ;)

appears to be:

he NISMO version was introduced for the 2009 model year. The engine produces 350 hp (355 PS; 261 kW) at 7,400 rpm and 276 lb⋅ft (374 N⋅m) of torque at 5,200 rpm with revised ECU settings and exhaust setup.

Did I miss that Rob bought the Nismo edition and I've been talking about regular pleb spc this whole time... 

You didn't look at the pic he posted? also it says it in his name/title card thing over there <<<<<<<<<

To me it's just a white 370 with some red bits? I don't know enough about 370s to pick it from a side shot. 

No,  didn't review his profile card thingo either. 

But now I know that Rob is a big time baller spending large on Nismo spec stuff. 

I'll just be over here with my cheapo Silvia being a bum ;)

Yeah went full baller and got the nismo as its got a few nicer bits on it and by the time I bought a 2016-2018 sport & added a few bits it was around the same money.  Got the 7 speed auto as over daily driving manual.

Nissan says 245kw but with in my experience headers, exhaust & tune gets around 220-230ish at the wheels. Driven a few 350/370 with stillen superchargers & twin 2860s (350-440kw) and they are amazing, lots of down low torque & still nice for daily driving. For what I am doing with it (Daily/weekend club track day like my old S14), its great the way it is. 

Once its out of warranty (2024) may look at more power but I've still got the all the cheap S chassis stuff to work on and do silly things with?

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
