Good morning/arvo ladies and gents :(...

Got a question as just recent aquired one myself... about what sorta mods ppl do, for their stage 1, as this thing is pretty much stock as a rock, and just recent discovered theres lag in spooling and have no idea what it is, ive checked the intake pipes, and tightened the clamps but still its there, before hand it had a nice hard head splitting kick to her spooling, now it feels like a grandma driving it... :)

EDIT::: it may possibly be bad fuel but that doesn't seem the case as a few mates use the same servo's as i do {BP Ultimate} at the same locations around Gold Coast and they have never had a problem... so any info might help thx... shes only 6 days old :) cant have her gettin beaten by bashed up camrys now :( as it did last night *rather astonished and dismayed , wanting revenge :D *

what it has atm is the boys down in sydney developed a replica from Japans Performance ultra low coil suspension, in which theres not much movement, but great handling, its got the 2 degree or there abouts camber kit on the rear and possibly the front aswell... with 17" 235's, and also a Pod setup [Apexi] and was curious what would be the next step and where some good places for performance parts can be found etc...

any info would be advantagious as this is the first skyline that i have the chance to do mods to, so its a new learning curve :)

Cheers all,

Nekryd

thanks, well atm, all i want to see done is stage 1 over and done with, any suggestions are welcome...

for what most ppl do for stage 1... in preparing for the stage 2 / 3 yada step ups... or the major overhall in 1 hit that i know a few have done...

what i need is some help in the understanding of what should be done in Stage 1, first up in prep for all the mods later, i know u need a power band u wanna aim for but atm, to be honest... aslong as everything is function/breathing and runs 10psi or more wid minimal shit, will keep me happy till i toss the manifolds fling the turbo and all the rest...

cheers.

to be honest id get an ecu first... then follow that with a fuel pump/regulator. do exhaust (cat back or turbo back). front mount intercooler. after this id look at doing boost increases altho u could get away with it after doing ecu

but if u dont wanna spend much money i would buy a safc, exhaust and then a boost controller.... i had 170rwkws with this setup (mine has an apexi pod aswell)

i guess the first stage in a stock gtst is to remove all the stock limitations and stock hardware. things you'll most likely consider or replace:

$1200 Ish fitted

full 3" exhaust, hiflow cat, new dump and front pipe

** stock exhaust is very restrictive

$1200 kit not including fitting (brand new)

front mount intercooler

** stock intercooler is tiny

(apexi safc $400 not fitted and tuned) / chipped ecu $350

apexi safc II / chippable ECU / piggyback system

** stock ecu has boost / fuel cuts, apexi safc or piggyback will help bring on power quicker and trick the ecu into more/less airflow

boost controller - $300

**stock boost is 5psi until 4500rpm then 7psi. aftermarket will allow you to set whatever you like. no more than 12psi is recommend as youll get boost cut on the ecu and won't make any more power. you can get a bleed valve for $100 or you can get a good second hand electronic boost controller, around $300 ? hks ez 2 or 3?

pineapple kit in the rear to help traction - $200

** stock suspenion is OK but this will prevent axle tramp or at least help it a lot

the stock skyline is about 130rwkw and above mods should net you around 170rwkw ish ? maybe 190 with full replacement ecu such as power fc

stage 2 is most likely

bigger injectors $700 (new)

aftermarket turbo $2000 (new)

full replacement ecu $1400 (new)

twin plate clutch $1400 (new)

new air flow meter $300 (2nd hand)

new fuel pump $300 (2nd hand)

255 or 265 tyres $1000 (new)

depending on turbo new manifold and wastegate $1500 ?

the list goes on, and theres a lot more stuff for stage 2 that ive listed thats just some off the top of my head. stage 2 is around 260rwkw ish depending on turbo etc. with a bigger turbo comes more lag

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
