FGCOUPE · 08-10-2008

when i went to get my windows tinted not long ago they told me it was lower the a Lamborghini they did. My car bottomed out trying to get into their bay so we had to block it up on wood as i drove it in. lol

and the new wheels wil be here at the end of this month now and they have 40 series tires being dropped on em'

Few of the newest things for the Sky....

Just finished a custom backplate for the Blitz BOV now that i have the FMIC installed had to be relocated. Funny thing is...before i got this car someone had installed this on an elbow further down and also had the OEM recirc BOV aswell. Now with the stock one completely removed and the Blitz only working makes a huge difference. The OEM srping was weaker so obvisouly the BLitz wasnt doing shit! why someone would waste the money and time on an aftermarket BOV and have it do nothing? lol

Using 1/2" Alloy plate i made a plate for the Blitz to be mounted on, nobody made one for this particular BOV so i had to make my own.

in the process of making a heatshield for the intake

As for the wheels....apparently the container has touched down in Vancouver but we are awaiting for the FAX from customs to be sent for them to come pick the stuff up. So im really hoping in the next week or so to get them on my car. These silver DriftR wheels are horrible!! Plus ill be geting new 40 series Aurora tires mounted on the new wheels.

as soon as those are mounted ill get Pics for you guys!

sweet

FGCOUPE · 08-30-2008

oops!
i forgot to update. lol

anyhow...finished the custom heatshield along with an air deflector.

Now with this deflector, air can be pushed directly through the upper front grille and into the radiator.

Also installed new inverted cone K&N airfilter

Im almost to the point of boosting to 15PSI now, at the time im boosting @ 10 PSI with 3" catback, FMIC, Blitz BOV using a grainger valve but i dont want to push it to 15 until i have my Elbow, DP and testpipe done up to 3" aswell. Once this is all done then ill be getting new 440cc injectors, Pump and a fuel management system.

Btw....
the container has officially arrived and is being de-stuffed as of Thursday. This next Saturday (Sept 6/08') ill be making it down and picking my new wheels, tires and seat rails up. Also getting the Skyline re-tuned as its running on the rich side right now.

FGCOUPE · 09-07-2008

ok....Wheels are now on the car!
(Xspeed X5 17" 5-star)

speedfoos · 09-07-2008

Nice fucking wheels man. Any plans to either smoke or clear those corners?

icedcoco · 09-07-2008

great wheels...finally for you. you made some nice upgrades on the car. and good work on that heatshield and deflector.

FGCOUPE · 09-07-2008

thanks for the comments guys!
and funny you mention clear corners! lol
once i get 50.00 ill be buying some stock ones from a guy down the street, then ill pull em apart and do it myself for free.

clears will looks dope!
also forgot too mention, i also had a testpipe installed. My next plans are:

Downpipe to allow the turbo to spool faster adding power, then E-manage so i can dial my boost to 15. This should bring me to 280+ WHP on a 2700 lb car

HonCiv02 · 09-07-2008

those wheels look really good. i am glad that you keep updating this thread even after everything happened in the first one you started.
