Hey Rusty,
I was wondering if you could help me in answer the following questions.
I know the part that bolts onto the Crash bar is M24x3, but how about the opposing part? This should be a universal standard size right? Is it M18xsomething? Please let me know if you happen to know the answer.

How about the length of thread part?

And one last question, how long should the rod be for a Nismo bumper?

I want to send this part out today so I can get it back before track, please let me know if you happen to know the answer. Thanks again!

Great work Rusty!!!!!

My Ti heat shields from Hard Brakes came today.

So this will be my next project after I get my tune from RT Tuning tomorrow.

I got 2 different sets of heat shields. One set for the Nismo front brake calipers. The second set for when I get my BBK. Which is in the future. Need coil overs first. Don't know when I'll do the heat shields and stainless brake hoses yet. My work schedule has changed for the end of the month. Where I work at. We are having an outage for 2 months. Meaning 12+ hrs a day.

I had a lonnnng day today. Drove from Pittsburgh to Philly and back. Had Vince at RT Tuning work his magic with UpRev. I LIKE the results. Nice throttle response, no flat spots in the curve, and my gas mileage went up. Final numbers now. HP is at 320.41 and torque is 269.18.

I'm very pleased with what Vince has done. And he took his time to explain things to me.

Here's a video of the final dyno run. Click on picture for the video. My camera does not to justice to the sound.

Update: Numbers after port matching the manifold. 334HP and 279Tor.

Sorry about having to go the philly

I thought your side of the state refused to acknowledge the existence of the ghetto side

That's a fine looking machine though

Rusty · 10-03-2012, 06:33 AM

Thanks crash. Everytime I go to "THAT" side of the state. I'm packin' heavy.

Heck, We're still getting parking ticket from the Philly cops. And the people who are getting them never been to Philly! Shows you how much love we have for that area. LOL After I got done with RT Tuning. Had lunch with Mike (firerescue) in some Irish pub.

Rusty · 10-03-2012, 06:35 AM

Here's the dyno sheet. I had scanned it yesterday, and forgot to post it.
