Skyline GTR build/project *lots of pics + document

Why is your bung located on one downpipe? It should be after the two merge. Your wideband is only going to properly read 3 out of your 6 cylinders in this setup.

I installed this exact DP, and put the bung righ tnext to the flange. It was a tough fit bit it worked.

[archaeic_bloke]

thats a really good point, i should consider moving it, how-ever, there is also a bung in my cat-delete pipe. .... wouldnt this suffice?

i had planned to use that bung to read EGT.

and arent there also bungs in the turbo dump pipes/elbows?

turn your silicone bits for the HKS pipes in side out, that way they'll be red and match your car, also they wont look so beat up.... just a thought.

[archaeic_bloke]

wicked call turismo! definitley going to do that.. thanks man!

The bung in the cat delete pipe is at the right distance from the motor for your wideband.

EGT should be located before the turbo.

Those bungs in the dump pipes are are for the factory narrowband sensors.

Looks awsome verry clean base to start with ! BTW who u get the exhaust thru?

[archaeic_bloke]

i got the exhaust from nagano japanese, i went in, told him i was looking for coil-overs, exhaust, and some other bits,

he hooked me up with the tein coil-overs, the exhaust he told me was "jasma" and i later found out its actually a 5 Zigen system, 3.5" SS...and at the same time i got the HKS FMIC piping kit.

i was really happy with the service there.

i got the exact same key with my car

[archaeic_bloke]

So i keep buying up parts for my big plan... but i have yet to install a single thing... i should also mention that i had to sell the PFC ECU, because im going to go mafless.

im also holding off for another reason... I've realised what a rare thing it is to have a completely bone stock GTR in mint condition... and im considering offering it up for sale before i start to mod it... if it sells, I would buy another GTR that is not so mint, and make it more of a project,...

i just dont think its very fair to the community and world to start modifying an original in such perfect condition as mine is without offering someone else the chance to own it instead. so watch the For Sale sections soon.. if i decide to post it up for sale... ill let you all know..

anyways
These just came in the Mail!

i have the same bov (single) it sounds pretty nice, light whistle at low rpm boost and full out pssh at high rpm, and i bet two will sound even nicer.

[superdaveosbourne]

2 of them working together make just enough noise, but not so much to be annoying. I have the same setup and love them, they sound great.

Oh, BTW, JASMA stands for the "Japan Automotive Silencer and Muffler Association". It just means that it's street legal in Japan and meets both noise and emissions regulations over there.

[archaeic_bloke]

cool, thanks i figured it would stand for something like that.. when the guy told me "jasma certified".. im like ..."great! w/e that means"
lol

as far as selling the car goes.. i think im going to get the maintenance done.. and see how things go from there.
