Hehehe - I know what you mean - they're too many great cars to have and not enough time, money and garage space to own them all! :rolleyes: Only option is to buy, drive and sell often. Only trouble is though, the paper work is a right pain in the butt - especially getting landlords to sign parking permission slips :P

...hope she makes 220-230awkw with the new HKS SA CPU, the old F-Con V was too restrictive.

Justin you coming tomorrow?

On the dyno today she made [email protected] all the way to 7000rpm, no boost drop. A bit more than what the old CPU was tuned at. But still short of running 1.5bars, due to the injectors cutting out around 4000rpm for a split second. Not sure what the problem is, we know it ain't the CPU or the sensors. Back on the dyno she goes on Monday.

edit: I think I found the problem...stupid me!

Can`t you just give the evo to rezz as a going away present? :)

He wishes...a limited production car! :)

Just hand it over mate...

You KNOW the first thing I'd do is karate kick those stock mirrors off, then karate chop that back wing in half and sell it on Yahoo, then get some decent black rims and some decent black aero mirrors :)

Which is why you should buy your own :), I like the stock look :)

Yeah time to move on.... it's like being a kid in a candy shop here though, so I think 1 year max before selling and buying smething different!

Justin, how about an RS200 with HKS bolt on turbo kit or buy one with a turbo already fitted. Still RWD, newish which what you really want right...avoid the headaches of things falling of old cars.

Yeah right, I just want something newer... and not a whale! This is the problem, I don't want to go the extra for an R34 because for that money I'd prefer an FD3S, which leaves me with a late model R33. I just don't dig the whales... and R32s are too old in Japan terms as Ikeri told me last Sunday... *sniff* :)

Dave, you can't comment all your cars are new...the R32s are getting long in the tooth.

Justin is keen on the Evo, I believe because they are newer, 4WD and being able to extract 250awkw not rwkw from a factory car with very little money. Which would be more than sufficent for anyone on the street . The Evo is pretty good value when you only have to spend money basically on a subcom and EBC to achieve this! Course one would change the airfilter and exhaust. Compared to extracting power out of Skyline's factory setup with a ceramic turbo achilies heal. New turbo, new I/C, new oil cooler, new management, EBC, new exhaust = big $$$.

Yeah... how'd you know I had only 1 friend in the whole universe?

Batsuman is a loner...how could he hide his identity if everyone knew who he was in Japan? However Batsuman has many admirers. As his butler and driver, I've already hire someone trustworthy to fill my place, however this person does not have an Evo which is why Batsuman needs to built a new Evomobile Spec II :(. The GT-Rezz is still under development.

OK, the secrets out...Justin (a.k.a Batsuman / a.k.a Rezz) has decided to forego the Evo for something more in-keeping with his tastes. The GT-Rezz has run into technical difficulties (due a national shortage of duct tape, without which essential body mods cannot be completed) and this has left but one choice. So, without further pre-amble, I give you the Batsumobile (Beatmobile :D)...

See here in these exclusive test shots:

660cc of Raw power :D

And remember folkes...you saw it here first....on the SAU :D

    • 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
