Looks cool, bet with the est 250ps this car will sound mental. Nice to see a motor without a turbo for once!




thats what im hoping especially with the full stainless system from the block back. ;)

many people say why bother with the non turbo just drop in a tt lump. tbh the US can seem to get some nice power figures from there na's so im going to see what i can get. its easy to drop a tt lump in i want a challenge :D

Turbos just give you more problems. NA cars rule for me. Love the sound they make and they perform fine if you use them well.

too true, i need it to be reliable and if a turbo fails on the 300 it generally means engine out!!!


a few progress updates.
im going for a duel map ecu chip which can be switched at a flick of a button.
nissans orignial map and a devin performance map for the non turbo.

EGR vlave and accociated pipework now off and custom made blanking plates are now made by me and fitted tonight.

both exhaust manifolds are off

and waiting for a couple of minor jobs to be done before the rebuild of bits commences.

you have jump leads, give it a good run ;)
did look like your battery has had it tbh, the charger dropped amps after a while if you noticed? should hold charge longer than it has been.

an AIV or air injection valve's primary function is to pump fresh air infront of the cats in the exhaust system to cool and to lower emissions ;)
as i have de catted both aiv systems in my wings are made redundent so to save a fraction of weight (not that it would make that much difference to a 1.4 ton car LMAO!) i removed them ;)

got a new battery today so went and got it out the garage today to find a few niggly problems.

while reved it sounded like there was ball bearings in the exhaust or cam rattle.

2 there is a slight water leak problem but its coming from the air con drip pipe. the water is cold and clear but just seems an awful lot of it!!

3 the exhaust is um rather loud which i am really concerned about LOL! :lol:




























oh btw the rattling noise was because the drivers side o2 sensor was loose :rofl: it sounds lush!!! and pulls like a train :drive:

nice one mate, you gotta take me out in it now ;)

and i thought you'd done the o2 sensor so i left it lol, i would of put it straight in and tightened it up fully otherwise but it was already in.

and how loud is it on par with mine?
