Hello all

I have holidays right before xmas for 1 week. I want to get mods like : Intercooler, boost controller, heavy duty clutch, computer, pod filter done in one hit. How long would you say it would take to get those things done and then dyno as well?

Is that amount of time going to be enough? I live 500kms from perth :) Hence the reason I have limited time up there.

Thanks

Glen..

intercooler takes an hour and bit to fit roughly.. thats a DIY jobbie though using a KIT like the Hybrid one...boost controller.. if manual is very quick.. electronic is a bit of stuffing around.. so 2 hours or so there. computer same thing..plugins you can plug in yourself.. 15 mins... or a workshop doing the dyno tuning will do it all for you..clutch sorry cant help there. pod filter is about 15 mins...if you have the afm adaptor. and that will include removing the old airbox..

yeah id ring the workshop up two months notice to get all the parts in for you (since you are wanting quite a bit fitted to the car). Then id say fitting probably wouldnt be anymore than 2 -3 days depending on the workload of the workshop. But there are people on here that own workshops that can clarify for you. Im just guesstimating.

The more organised you are .... the more organised the workshop can be and the quicker things can get done. Know exactly what you want on the car .... there are many different kinds of ECU, FMIC, Boost controllers etc out there.... if you arent ordering in the parts yourself - then give them plenty of notice to get them in for you. :)

Or if you want.. get a hole saw and a drill

get an intercooler kit there are cheaper ones advertised on here i think but you can get a hybrid kit for $1150 and thats with polished aluminium pipes and includes hoses etc.. and full instructions including pictures.

That will take you a couple of hours to fit.

and about 3 days to get delivered to your door.

same goes for the boost control you can get it on the same delivery for about $360 or something

same goes for the pod filter.

take a weekend to get the cooler and pod fitted and then drive down to perth and get the boost control and the ecu and the clutch fitted.. a clutch place can do it if you book it in etc and then you can pick it up or wait there and then go to a workshop for ecu install and tune.

it cant be that hard..just get to planning

You can actualy get all these mods done in Bunbury if it is easier, quiet a bit closer to your current location, bart from south west brakes does good deals on the clutches same day install, and the rest can be handle by a number of different companies Adrenalin Performance are a group of guys no nonsence but there are plenty of great shop in perth to. Best of luck with the mods

if you want to bore out your cylinders for extra power you can put exactly 100 grains of sand into your fuel tank and that will go through the system and you will notice the power gain within two weeks

no idiot, this only works with diesel

so fill her up with diesel first ok

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
    • Yeah I spent close to a year finding one. I was even tempted to buy a RB25DE N/A head and port it out. That latter option, could still be an option.
