yosip1115, nice thread so far. How long have you been working on cars?
Thank you sir. Believe it or not I'm not even 21 yet, not until November. I have been working on cars since I was 15-16. It all started with a stereo system in my Chevy S10 RWD pickup...
I wish my G was the color of yours. Seriously. I'm thinking blue chrome vinyl soon. Keep the edges tucked so it doesn't look funny with the hood popped.
Here is something I'm proud of from last weekend... Lotta wires attach to that bad boy haha. They're all ran, zipped, soldered, done right. No corners cut. Innovative SGC-1 DONE.
I'm lined up to have another huge weekend. I actually made my tentative appointment to tune at RT in PA on the 2nd of October.

Fluids are on order:
4 gallons of AMSoil 0W-30 w/ 2x Amsoil filters
Amsoil PS fluid
Redline MT-85
Pennzoil VLSD gear oil GL-5
OEM Nissan coolant
I had to order a rebuild kit for my AEM fuel pressure regulator, it leaked between the aluminum housing and the inner diaphragm. Everything functioned properly though, it just leaked... But let me tell you, I had a moment when I pressed the 93 octane button for the first time in a year.
Other than that, I'm ready to load my base map from RT tuning and turn the key on Friday.
I'll have the bumper back from paint early next week, if things go smoothly I'll be able to make some shows this year. Till then, safety wire will do. It looks pretty badass as is.
I'll update with numbers, and pics after a detail + some more shiny parts in the engine bay.
Then all you need is the 5/16 hardline to AN and an AN union fitting.
A jig is required to press the fuel fitting into the hardline, I used a caulk gun modified to fit a brake line flaring tool clamp that grabs the line as you press. You can actually see the tool a bit in this photo.
It's alive. Started right up first crank. After fixing a small oil leak it treated me well for 175 miles. I can't explain how intense it is to drive with all of the solid mounts/lightweight clutch and flywheel. It pulls in 6th... Hard! I haven't even gone past 1/8 throttle. Insane.
A crowd formed at the store (they were 50 year olds!). Necks broke everywhere, it was a sweet weekend!!
Here are some videos, numbers on Friday after the nice drive out to PA. This thing is mean as can be! Already breaks 3rd loose at 50mph @5PSI.

Thanks! It was sick on the dyno. Nothing but boost.
Update: Had no issues driving to PA or back. It has been raining so I can't use anything lower than 6th gear on pulls. 5th is dangerous...
Final numbers were 443/391~
I have a video I will upload when I get it from my buddy. The guys at RT really know their stuff. I'm definitely going back and would recommend them to anyone. I came in with a few vacuum leaks and left with none, just a great tune. It could have made more power but I have 5 PSI springs in the wategates and Vince said you shouldn't or can't really go over 2x the WG spring pressure with an EBC. With 7 or 8 psi springs this car would make a reliable ish 475whp and 420 ft lbs of torque. Vince is an amazing tuner. He set me up with launch control too. It isn't perfect with uprev but it will help me at the strip. I posted this in another thread but it hasn't been moved yet...will delete when I'm ona CPU. I did get to drive in dry conditions since then. Basically you're on the verge of death the entire time you're floored in 4th gear. Fun! Lol...

New wheels, interior work, new 14" wilwood BBK, and a lot of fiberglass work has been keeping me busy.
New paint is on the horizon; TV-2 (R34 GTR Blue). I'm doing all of the body work myself to save some money. Rear lip is coming in, Nismo side skirts, oh and some BC coils are on their way, too.
I had to pull the fenders to fit these 275-35-19 Michelin pilot super sports so I'm taking advantage of the situation by shaping them for flush fitment before paint.
Also before sending it off for paint I'm going to shave the bay and have him spray it down. Maybe it'll see a show or two before the end of the summer. I'm more excited to see what kind of time I can run at the drag strip with the turbos.
