what do you mean by SAFC or PFC im getting a turbo back exhuast next week and the speed cut defencer i was toying with getting a ECU but i should leave that till one of my last mods is that correct?

If i was you i would just go PFC and get it out of the way :P Ecu is a great mod, im wishing i did it before fmic, as it keeps the tune nice a clean and the car wont run overly rich and make less power.

Leaving ECU to last mods is smart as you will save the $$$ in tuning it each time you get a new mod, but you will make more better pwoer with ecu

No offense, but if you want power, sell it and get a turbo line, it's just wasting your money on a n/a trying to get big horsepower. It's so easy with simple mods to really boost the horsepower of a car with forced induction like everyone has said. If you want your skyline to be as fast as your excel was (i can't even type that without laughing out loud), sell it and get a turbo car. The disadvantage of simply adding a turbo kit to your car would be smaller breaks, no LSD, 4 vs 5 wheel studs, higher compression leading to lower boost and the list just goes on.

if i get the compression changed on my enging to say 9.0.1 or what ever it is i need would that be ok? and would any one know what the compression is on the RB25DE? and how would the studs on the wheels make a diff? might be a dum question but yeh i dont see how that can change anything

Ok zer0rez, here a few things you will need to change on your n/a line to run a turbo

1.Compression

2.Piston

3.Injectors

4.ECU

5.Fuel Pump

6.Brakes (GTS have smaller brake)

7.LSD

8.Intake Pipe

9.Intercooler

10.Turbo

Or else you can go sell car buy turbo r33 S1 (import one cost you anywhere from 15 to 20k)

if you managed to get 180kw out of your excel with the stock engine,

you shouldnt have any trouble getting 180kw with a non-turbo skyline...

just put your special capa supercharger/turbo in it :cheers:

seriously though, sell ya car and buy the turbo. Its gonna piss you off when you spend like $2-3k in mods and you still get beaten at the lights by a lancer :)

    • 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.
