But does anyone know if you could put a de exhaust on a det neo and just put a pod on the end of the intake manifold 

with a tune of course 

No point doing an exhaust or pod filter on non turbo motors. Nothing to be gained except noise and a lighter wallet. 

A bit of advice, google search all your questions and once you have exhausted that option then post in here. 

like having a turbo is obvious to the bois in blue but unless they’ve studied the car they really won’t know what parts there looking at

so what I’m gunna do is get a det neo engine block, gtt drivetrain and brakes etc

and I’m gunna put my stroker kit and bore it out and put the performance head on but take of the turbo and intercooler and put on my gt exhaust system and intake on and hopefully I might be in the 170kw range

if not it doesn’t really mater because I can put a really good turbo system on and run a solid psi without worrying about my engine internals when I get my second p’s

what are your thoughts on this

and no I’m not gunna keep this car stock until I can drive a turbo and save up for a gtt if that’s what u where gunna say

thanks jack

Ah. 16 year olds and their endless supplies of enthusiasm, money and unwillingness to listen to those who have learnt from making those same mistakes.

My tip is put the Skyline in the shed and don't drive it and instead drive a $200 FWD shitbox for 2 years. Who's going to be paying for the insurance on this R34 of yours while you drive in illegally modified on your L's and P's?

Actually I’m not gunna insure it yet lol

ive been driving since I was 6 and haven’t crashed a single vehicle 

not saying that I won’t crash but it’s a risk I’m gunna take, don’t roast me?

I’m working as an assistant at job sites doing work whenever I can and making 20 an hour which is pretty good

It's not a troll, but its a combination of inexperience really, which is fine, we all start there.

The first thing any cop will look for is a 20 year old import with a P plate on it.
The problem is a non turbo skyline, of any kind, in any form, is a completely shit performance vehicle.

Get an 86. Turbo that when you're legally allowed.

Source: Had NA+T, then 2.9 liter stroker kit (is yours brian crower too?) then built auto, then manual, then 5 different turbo choices, now have Legal V8.

Any idea you could possibly have, has been done. Some people like myself have done all of them!

You should listen to these people.
Alternatively, make mistakes and waste money.
These are solved problems by now.

Yeah your all right

i had my whole build planned out but I never really thought about what has already been tried 

I’ve done a lot of body work on this car and I got it for only $4000 
 

I’ve cleaned and polished every part of this car but apart from a k and n pod filter everything other than body work is stock so I’m not having much thought about getting a gtt now

i would really like to keep this gt and just swap it later on for a det neo

should I just keep it stock and clean and put some good brakes and a solid shift kit on and det neo swap it when I get my full license

thanks 

jack

 

And no im not rich but I’ve got a decent job for my age and yes I will get insurance

was a decision I made on the spot and didn’t think through 

sorry for not listening to you guys 

Thanks

    • I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet. 
    • Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.
    • Oops... I meant to include the connector  view... BR/W - power from fuse L/W - motor negative to fan control amp (and off to HVAC pin19) OR/B - PWM signal (from HVAC pin20) B --  ground  
    • Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me. 
    • I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
