wouldnt try and impress a bunch of kidz or anything like that? lmao!
Why so blue Panda bear? If you "want to impress a bunch of kidz", why not buy a cool car? Like a gtr or something impressive like that...

But on a serious note, why so cranky?

yuppers!

im in discussion with my shop to obtain the Greddy E-manage, then i can boost to 15 PSI. So far, ive got everything in check to support the higher boost such as the mendrel bent 3" Catback exhaust, Highflow Cat (Testpipe), 3"IN/4"OUT Magnaflow race series muffler, Greddy FMIC kit, Grainger valve (manual boost controller), etc... All i need to complete the transformation is a custom 3" Downpipe so the trubo can spool faster aswell as keep the EGTs down like the rest of the exhaust/intake mods. This will be the sum of it this summer/fall as the car gets parked in 1 month for winter (it will not see a day of snow!). Next spring will open up a new can of worms! lol

15 PSI only?? I kid, i kid...

Is that really how your going to leave the back license plate? doesnt it sit higher?

and have you ever thought about cutting a bigger hole around the tail pipe and pulling it up a little?

Also you front signals are ugly get those replaced, thats one thing that should clean the ride up nice...

Thats all of course IMO, do whatever you want...

actually, i think it would look beter with an OEM carbon hood, keeping the amber signals(cuz clear signals is just too ricey for me) other than that, looks great.
it's a GTS-T right?
looks the same as a GTR, so why worry about it.
and anyways, at first glance, it does look like a GTR

may not be a GTR but will eat one!

this GTST is apporx 300+ lighter then a GTR and has a R33 engine modified and still adding mods.

at the moment we (the shop & I) figure this thing is around 280+ WHP as is w/o the Emanage setup. Once i hit 15 PSI it will hook up where it may just scare me! lol
Keep in mind that the GTR has only 30HP more then the RB25DET engine but as mentioned is lighter

Woah, Woah i never said clear them, maybe a little lighter yellow but clear signals are Fugly...

Except for this one 325i i saw. This guy had a sweet ride... and the clear signals made it look so much sleeker...

just to add to your above post^

even the RB20DET has 200HP ,so how the hell are you coming up with 120HP MORE? lol

still adds up to 80HP compared to the lesser engine! haha

cool.....


I would highly recommend looking into other ECU options. I've had so many problems with EMUs.

the ECU i have now is fine for my goals....
all i need is to get this Emanage installed along with the harness and NVCS adapter. then i can modify the limiters set out by Nissan and dump more fuel/air into the game. This is when i can bump my grainger valve to 15 PSI which is max on the ceramic turbocharger. If i were to go any further would mean purchasing (in the least...):

Steel HG
ARP studs
Steel internal Tubby
N1 oil pump
Walbro pump
440cc+ injectors
etc....


its fun as hell blasting this thing down the HWY even with 10 PSI im running now. Which btw was 5PSI then jumped to 8PSI around 4200RPM OEM. I removed the boost solenoids and connected a vacuum line from the charge pipe to the actuator and used the grainger valve inline here where i manually set my boost level.

wow!
i figured you would have posted by now? lol

i said i was done with you (which i basically am....) but let me finish with this!
you are goin by intranet numbers and im assuming you have not even looked at a real to life Skyline in front of you nevermind worked on one? hmm?

again...
My RB25DET (i dont have a dyno done yet) but we all know starts off w/ 250 BHP. The car weighs in at 2778 lb which ive stated also.

The RB25DET: (Stock internals, injectors, HG, etc...)
~ 3" mandrel bent Catback exhaust system
~ Magnafolw race series muffler (3IN/4"OUT)
~ High Flow Cat (Testpipe)
~ Trust/Greddy FMIC kit
~ Manual boost controller set at 10 PSI at the time until get Emanage soon.
~ Inverted pod filter
~ Blitz BOV

with this being said^ bumps the 250BHP up+ (wish i had a dyno, but i dont)
for each +1 PSI boost = 15HP approx, so to get this so called 80HP you speak of....nothing at all! lol
ill get 75HP alone bumping it 5 PSI when the Emanage is installed. hehe!
Then there is thw weight difference of 375lb on a GTR which slightly kills the power-to-weight ratio ...correct! For me to pass the 15 PSI mark would mean a whole slew of parts to make it right, so i wont be going that far. With this also being said....Im not stupid! i know a RB26DETT done even slightly (modified) will own my engine. But im speaking a bone stock GTR here k.

so stop with the Wiki pages & links eh'

Seems like when somone is proud of their car someone has to be an *** about it. IDC what other people say but you have a SKYLINE! a skyline is a skyline how many people on here can honestly say "i have a skyline" or "i drove a skyline" yade yada. Its a small lil car stick a 2j in it along with 15k then u will have a small light car with more than 700HP then let the people talk their crap


yes i know im a supra addict so dont flame on it
