hell yeah. post some pics and the vids soon i'm intrigued to see what it looks like.

I'll definately have pics up soon... but video is another thing... I've got a digital video recorder but i haven't used it before and i'm not sure how to post it... I'm sure i'll figure out something

I can't post any of my pictures!!! I have uploaded them into my photo gallery and when I try to post them all i can see is a stupid red X... wtf is going on?

Send us a link the gallery, or copy the address and paste them here, we'll tell you what you are doing wrong perhaps.

Pretty sick. hows that Hybrid piping clear the hood? Mine looks like its gonna hit. Ouch-Alex

[420_240]

the hybrid piping was kind of a let down... However, this piping was designed for the skyline gtst, it fit fairly well. There was some cutting and welding involved because the pipe wouldn't reach the battery tray

But to answer your question, since i'm using mckinney mounts, the hood clears everything (even the piping)

clean it up a little and it will be a stunning sight. How's it running?

[420_240]

Definately agree on the cleaning job... I don't know how exactly to start... I'd like to spray down the engine bay, but the MAFs are so damn sensative I'd end up fouling the plugs.

Any suggestions (from looking at the pics) on where to start or what to do with the engine bay as far as cleaning up and making it look good enough to eat off of?

I was screwing with my gauges after school today (boost, oil press, water temp) I have a mechanical water temp gauge and was considering going electrical... that big *** wire attached to the probe is FUGLY.

I still have to install my Fuel press. gauge... any insight on where to get the t-fitting? i know it must be 5/16" for fuel lines

I would have taken pictures of the interior but right now i've got sh*t laying all over the place... ecu is unmounted, relays laying on the floor... it's dirty as all hell....

Keep the suggestions coming guys I want to make this pearl shine

** Runs awesome... Starts right up everytime... Oil press is around 60-80 at cold start then as idle goes down it stays at 20... It's staying super cool with my FAL 220s (dual 10" pullers) practically kissing the pullies. (i'm using my 240 water temp gauge. Boost is set at 7lbs... Just taking it easy on the ol' girl until she's got some more upgrades! Using an ACT 6puck and I'm loving it... heavy until you pass the threshold and it grabs, dear god it grabs. Still can't get over how beautiful this motor sounds... As far as handling goes, I cannot tell that there is extra weight up front... But i'm also running with Tein HEs. Feels like that motor was meant for the car.

I'm working on making a video so hopefully I'll get my lazy *** to post it up here... Just keep nagging!!!

Again any other comments, criticism, lude and vulgar remarks are welcome!

get a cheap $20 steamer and that will clean up the rocker covers and most of the top of the engine then hit the side of the block with some engine and rust eater or they sell this killer rust eater it's basically black pait that you put over the rust and it eats and seals it up.

nice bro, like everyone said spend a good day cleanin her up and she should be ready to go.

As for the piping, I wish somone had a an already made custom piping kit for the rb25det using the greddy intake mani and stock turbo...im to lazy to fab it myself

[Sil240]
