VSpec's N16 DCi

[V-SpecII]

Just recieved all my poly's today, cost me just over £100 & a £40 delivery (?? Such a light small box, even if it from the states, I'm being a women I know time of the maybe), even with the invoices lowered had to pay £22 customs for them. Sorry Ed I didn't know you was going to order front mounts else I would ordered them for you.

List is ES front drop link bushes, ES front+rear engine mounts (Energy suspension), & some Super Pro rear bushes.

Got a 100 quids worth of gaskets from Nissan too, for the stage 2 Hybrid turbo (can't wait)! +Drop links.

That's the 4" slash HKS exhaust which will be replacing the twin exit exhaust currently on the car (still undecided lol).

Edit:

Time to get cracking been a sitting duck for too long, just waiting on some 2jr Super pro'd wishbones, 2jr bump steer kit & their 15mm traction spacer. Then will be looking to ordering HLSD, ACT clutch & fly in the coming months, a special thanks to Ed for sharing his knowledge to a dopey git like me else this thread would be non-existent!

Lots of stuff going on I see, that HKS backbox the only thing on the exhaust system or you have a middle box too? Wonder how that one gonna sound.

 

[V-SpecII]

I've got a full 2.5 system no middle box. It does sound quite deep (beefy) at the moment, don't know how much it will change with the HKS box. I've been told for a diesel does sound good.

 

[Sam]

That backbox is an eBay special

 

[edk]

Good parts there.

I'd imagine it's going to sound similar to what mine was like with just the centre box and no back box. Louder but really deep and less like a Diesel. I think you'll be pleased with it, but our neighbours might not!

 

[V-SpecII]

Are you sure the HKS box is an eBay special Sam, I've been looking for a few months for a decent box but didn't find any.

Having some luck on eBay these last few weeks got a brand new Suction Control Valve (scv) on the bay, start bid was £50, tried a cheeky one asked if he would deal at £50 delivered. £55 delivered one happy ebayer.

Rims are also treated & paired with its kind. Was never keen on spending £100 for a set of these nuts but an auction ran at £20 asked for a buy now & he wanted £40 delivered lol. Couldn't complain at that price. Look brand spanking new 2!

Looks loads better then the others I've got on there, & probably half the weight. Rays weigh in at around 23g. Set it off nice me thinks, fill the stud gaps nicely. But poor te37's are filty & need refurb!

 

[Sam]

Yep no question.

The cheap badge and messy welding give it away, not to mention that size tip will look ridiculous.

Buy Liams we know its genuine.

 

[V-SpecII]

Sam you the man!!! Thanks to you I am £83 richer & I have a free fakey! Just opened the case today lol!

Seller's message:
"Hi, I am also very unhappy to hear this. I am very sorry, I didn't think to check before selling as I didn't even think of it being fake as I don't know much about these things. I am very sorry and will issue a full refund now for you. Please do not leave bad feedback as this will effect my business greatly Kind Regards, Andy"

Great outcome for me & the funny thing is I already left a positive feedback weeks ago.

 

[Syv]

I bet he knew all about this one and you're not the first one in this situation. Seems like a plan how to make some dollar.

 

[Sam]

20% plz

 

[V-SpecII]

Might be chopping & changing this nismo exhaust off a GTT Skyline. Also is there any other poly's I can get..? I know about exhaust ones which I will be getting so far I've got front/back engine, rear trailing arms & drop links as can be seen on the top of this page tia.

 

[edk]

Front wishbones. QT Link. TDMi also sold replacement hard race bushes for the Scott Russell links at one point.

 

[V-SpecII]

Cheers Ed, forgot to mention got front wishbone poly's. (Pre-installed on the 2jr ones I'm waiting on, been near 2 month as the roll centre kit is being finalised).

 

[5Zigen_Eddie]

Been told don't go over OEM hardness wise on SR setup for risk of binding bla bla, QT link upgrade didn't have a choice in bush hardness though. But perhaps benefits of correctly aligned axle outweigh increased binding etc

 

[V-SpecII]

Nothing special, Finally got the Turbosmart FCD2 from Canada via post, took 5 long weeks. The crazy geezer didn't even track it & woohoo cleared customs, declared @$15. (Saving off approximately £40 buying from uk). But noting to tune it with as my TurboTechnics Hybrid Turbo & 60 core Forge intercooler have been sold. Once I'm working again, will be upgrading to Stage2 Hybrid Turbo from Adam Tdi Turbos, and buying a 80 core Forge unit.

 

[edk]

Good stuff. Now it'll be easier top reach those big numbers when you go to RST. I wish I had had my FCD the last time instead of adding it after, but back then we didn't know what the Almera Denso ECU/MAP sensor limit was (1.5 Bar btw).

Yup, I knew the 1.5 limit its drilled in my head (hate being restricted lol), and we owe it all to you fella the DCi game would have been dead a long time ago. Now lets break in to the 400s (lb)...

 

[edk]

Thanks go to RST and also Lee on Navara club too.

400lb should be no problem once fueling is sorted.

 

[V-SpecII]

I'm guessing Lee will be helping with our fuelling issues..?

 

[edk]

Nope. Can't get any info from anyone on the club at all. Shame because Lee and another guy have sorted their injectors but won't even hint anything to me. Haven't even got the decency to tell me they don't want to tell me... just get ignored.
