Looking good so far!

No ignitor to worry about on the S15 Spec-R

You should have just bought that short port plenum mate

Already sold mate, I was all ready with the card

We'll get an idea on how well this pikey setup will work now compared to the new Greddy short port soon with a bit of luck. At least it's not a standard plenum, although the throttle is. Will drop in to see Gary tonight to see when it can be booked in. I've still not took it down the road, but I have now reworked the idle control pipe so should be all set this weekend

Shouldn't be long now, will be confirming a date this week

Took it down the road for the first time to make sure it drove okay. The whistle from the new turbo is mental, it's constantly trying to make boost when I don't want it to so I think it's going to be a bit lively

After sitting in the garage for a few weeks it's now sulking in the back garden...

Lol, I thought for a moment that you'd swapped over the full S14a loom as I bought your S15 one, then I remembered you bought another car...

New parts

New Greddy plenum with 70mm throttle which should help reduce what seems to be a restriction on the inlet

I've also ordered a set of Tomei cam sprockets from RHDJapan seeing as the Nissan VVT is pretty pointless now.

Only thing left to sort is horrendous brake judder. I've had the disks skimmed while they were off, but it's worse than before with the pad deposits stuck to them. There's no obvious reason other than they were skimmed on the piss

I'm going to call Scole Engineering tomorrow as they do on the car brake skimming which they can do, but needed to check they could do 356mm. If that doesn't cure it, feck knows what the problem is.

Butchered? Never

It's fine mate, I'll give it a quick look when it comes off, but it should be fine

They were fine when the old brakes were on, Danny cleaned all the hub faces etc so they should be fine I would have thought
