those figures imperial? hp and ft.lbs?
very impressive motor mate would be insane with the allison behind it.

Black rtv. But it wouldnt matter its not a hot joint so any silicone would suffice aslong as its a flexible type.

I too agree you get what you pay for but i can only get what i can practicably afford.

Boots i didnt have anything in my guard.

For those mentioning silcone i emptied half a tube around the...

the thing with emissivity is it works both ways. im not familar with the d22 setup but if the cooler is close to the motor or is subject to high under bonnet temps it will absorb that radiant heat...

Etch primer and acrylic black, relatively light coats. 1 of each

theres a video test from the guys at MCM between bare alloy and painted black intercooler. (im sure i saw a discussion on here...

Im fully aware of the downside to buying a cheap copy, and have no doubt genuine products use superior polymers but it sure seems like that page is written by someone with financial or other interest...

yeah okay, its not a big deal pretty happy really.
i think it could be fixed by having another stud closer to the front though

Finshed off the intercooler and its working a treat (even without a scoop) seeing a steady 35 degrees Iat.
ive ordered a fibreglass scoop of...

Thats why im leaning towards the subie scoop aswell, they are nice and tall and should suit width ways. I also looked at a plastic scoop in super cheap which looked okay.

Update time. ive been abit lazy lately but got a fair bit done in the last week or so.

The biggest job was installing a new stereo. 4 channel amp and 4 new 6.5 inch splits. super duper happy with...

Thanks for the replies fellas.
Ive already 2 inch coils (still need extended shocks)

Im trying to figure out if -20 rims with 315s will hang out past the guards. Im guessing so if -13 and 305s...

Hello fellow patrolites.

Im pretty keen on running 315s on a 2 inch lift (feel free to convince me otherwise)

what sort of offset and bump extension would i need?

ive seen rigs with stock...

At warm idle im seeing approx 100 degrees egt and about 40 degrees iat
general cruisy driving about 50 degrees iat fairly...

Thats i neat spot, im just going to go right in the centre above the aircon vents.

Was seriously considering a pillar gauge pod but the budget wouldnt allow. Ended up with a generic 3 gauge pod which i will velcro in the centre of the dash and cut a hole in my dash mat

Hey gents (and ladies)

Everything is back together (for now)
in typical nissan style, first turn start.
There is a boost leak somewhere which i will admit sounds pretty insane.

ive finished...

Update:

Ive been plodding along over the past few days, this is what ive achieved;

tapped the bleed hole in the thermostat housing to fit a water temp sender.
These gauges are highly accurate...

Dont stress too much buddy i can always look up the suspension stuff site.

I havnt touched the suspension on mine yet (still doing engine work) but its got 2 inch king springs and standard shocks....

Hey mate sweet rig. you seem to have the same sort of build objectives as me.
