Some guy was taking a photo of the 32 in the carpark.

Its a nice compliment.

Also the auto elec said its unique now and less of a target for thieves. Because its easily recognized.

People say it looks great, then i say its a backyard job, so they step closer and have a look, and say its still good for a backyard job.

(most people are very nice and dont point out the fk ups) :blush::D

Some people appreciate the fact i gave it a go more than how it turned out.

I think thats part of the Aussie psyche; "Have a go mate".

Duncan could you link me to SydneyKids suspension kit you were talking of.

Rosie dont forget about adaptronic theyre cheap for a new standalone ECU. If your going to go for more down the track save your money and pay once. Pile up everything and go for a tune once if its possible.

gtr or gtt? gtt is here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/88141-r34-gtt-bilstein-whiteline-suspension/page-15?hl=%2Bsydneykid#entry4203328. I'm sure he can also sort GTR stuff if that's what you need.

Gary is a suspension engineer with specific experience racing skylines. I've got his stuff in my stagea and race gtr and in both cases they are awesome for the price....

Who is the only guy who does Nistunes in ACT? Might give him a call and see what we can do.

Also, what would be needed for like a smoother/better mid range RPM? Nistune + ? + tune?

Edited by RosieR34

Only choice is Ed at Autotech in hume.

He did mine and got 245rwkw with Nistune

will need a few extra bits (like injectors + Fuel Pump)

Nistune + TUNE. It's all in the Tune. :whistling:

May need a replacement Fuel Pump too.

Oh, I thought Nistune was the chip thingy that is put on the stock ECU. Might just call him and see what he recommends for a basic 200-210kW. Not sure how much I'm willing to spend. Maybe max of $1,500 since plans have changed :'(

its possible but there will be a lot of shortcuts the install and tune of a Nistune is $1200 as of 14months ago when i did it with Ed. Small things like AFM, dump pipe Defs need a z32 AFM. You could probably do 210 with stock dump. Not sure about injectors but mine couldnt be safely pushed past 194kws at 14psi

Honestly i wouldn't even bother with that budget. Save up till you can afford a hypergear turbo do it properly.

It's either SAFC or Nistune. Don't want to chase power :'(. Well, I do but I cannot justify it. I just want a bit more than what I currently have. Rosie is a stepping stone, don't want to go all out yet.

I'll just give them a buzz tomorrow and see what they can offer and what I can afford.

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
