Took the car today to its first track outing.. drove to and from the track (about 45mins each way) and gave it a good thrash on the track. The event was a powercruise type event, so got to race agains

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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
