The car is nearly there, still on track to pick up tomorrow. Super happy with how tucked the exhaust is:

It all is higher than the rails.

intercooler piping will be completed today:

Don’t worry, I will have an airbox. This will be another item that I have taken inspo from @Dose Pipe Sutututu, so will look very similar to his..

But more importantly, is that a Super Turbo in the background?

I don’t think so, but I could be very wrong!

the body lines don’t look the same to me..

wow... look very OEM+ 

Looking superb!

The airbox cover is real nice, it goes down and seals up against the pipe work too!

Thanks, though I did steel the design from you. I literally gave one of your pics from here to the fabricator…

I have noticed today that the trigger wheel is just touching the sensor, causing a not so nice noise (which made me panic). Anyway, the kit comes with shims, chucked one in and it won’t start… obviously the sensor is now spaced too far from the teeth and can’t pick up a signal for the haltech.

@Dose Pipe Sutututu and/or others with the same trigger kit, is there a setting in the haltech software to adjust the sensitivity, so I can space the sensor out?

Bring up the scope and/or just look at the trigger voltages and crank the car.

Now see what it's registering at, and adjust your trigger arming voltage table so it's a little below the voltage at crank.

I'll send some screen shots tomorrow when I'm at my desk.

Haha wouldn't say it's stealing, when other Skylines also have similar designs.

Inspired by one another

This is what you need to adjust, ideally you want the trigger arming voltage to be a touch lower than the actually voltage read at the cranking RPM.

I would setup a screen similar to this, and then cranking the car and see what you need to adjust the trigger arming voltage to be at.

Awesome, thanks!

unfortunately I have misplaced the shims between the workshop and home, so I’ll have to just go with as it is for now for the tune tomorrow. I’ll order more shims and adjust the voltages myself.

I did a final once over tonight. I pulled the injectors for an inspection, as I remember one didn’t go in so smoothly (my error). Turns out I bent the tip slightly. I’m not sure this is a major?

no biggie, as I ordered 2 spares when I purchased (I like to have a spare of most things).

Other than that, car is 100% good to go for tomorrow.

I also purchased and installed the gktech bash plate, as I’ve always hated that the underside of the engine was exposed.

Tuning went well!

Car made 420hp at 19psi at the hubs. Full boost by around 4000rpm.

IMG_1002.thumb.jpeg.a3d382073692cd826290b3eff9f29721.jpeg

Base boost pressure is a nice streetable 10psi with 3 different settings up to 20 (via keypad).

@Dose Pipe Sutututu, the tuner said he barely needed his big fan with the FPG kit, as it could hold it solid at 82deg through the power runs.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
