if you only have 3k to your name, why are you spending it on your car, its not gonna help it much. maybe try using the money wisely

Don't presume to know how to best spend my money. I earnt it, and I'll damn well spend it how I please. My GT-R gives me far more enjoyment than most other things so it seems like a good place to spend it. Personally I don't care if its a black hole: my earnings potential of the rest of my life will more than adequately make up for the money I choose to "waste" now.

Moreover, $3000 is hardly worth the effort of investing as even with a high rate of return the initial capital is so low.

Off topic here.

Hi GTR032, I just noticed that you had the trust PE2 which from memory is 3 inches, does that restrict you in anyway since you have GTSS's

also were you pulled over for an inspection on parramatta road last month on a friday night?

not that i own a gtr, but basically i shop around and find the cheapest price for that part as i can. FMIC $500 and a $450 piping kit comes to $950 which is a lot better than forking out $1450 for a brand name kit; smart shopping. Why pay more for something that does the same thing for less; that way you can spend your money on other things: :alcoholic

R34 mods so far:

* Turbosmart boost controller $100

* GFP Mach1 BOV $195 (a free custom made adaptor saved me $50)

* RHK FMIC $500

* R33 style Piping kit $450

* Greddy Auto TurboTimer $170

* New Garret T3/T4 450hp Turbo $580 from eBay (bargin :Pimp2: )

still to come:

* custom fabed exhaust system (should save a bit on that).

The ACA build up :crazy:

But yet you spend $200 on a BOV that does nothing better than orig? How is that smart shopping :confused:

Hey,

The PE2 is 3 and a 1/4 inch. I can't say whether it is restricting any flow or not, as thee car is yet to be tuned and run on dyno. Boost is only pretty low aswell at the minute.

nah not me..car has been on the road only about 2 weeks after 4 months off.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • 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
