i was able to get a free dyno pull today and i thought it would be nice to see my base line b4 i finish installing everything and tuning and i have to say i was surprised.
285whp and 234wtq @ 10psi
i was expecting maybe 240ish whp but 285 stunned me lol
here i only have a video of the first pull i made 282whp

had this idea for a little while of making a car key from a Snap-On screw driver handle so i bought a handle from the Snap-On truck and made a spare key.
what i did was cut the end of the spare key to make it skinnier then the other end of the spare key i put a wet rag on it with a vice grip and heated up the cut end of the key with a torch, after it was hot enough i pressed it into the Screw driver handle and let it cool.
here are the results
snug fit

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
man i got my tires and sway bars and on and the car handles better then it ever has but my front rotors are shot this is the second time i cut them and they are warped beyond repair and are currently too skinny.
man where am i going to find a R32 GT-R rotor for a decent price why did i have to get the one set of brakes that is unique to that one nissan...
no other nissan has 297x32mm rotors i tried a TT r32 rotor but almost half the pad comes off the rotor its too small 280x30mm i guess im going to have to shell out the $300 for new rotors unless i want to get the project u ones for $800 lol...

floating s14 mod yo
lol
these rotors have met their end they are out of spec and warped real bad
now i found out that i do not have R32 GT-R brakes but i infact have R33 GTS-T Brakes so those rotors are 296x30mm even harder to find almost non existant but a good fact i found is that 97-01 Infinity q45 uses rotors that are 296x28mm! only 2mm difference in thickness and diameter is perfect! so i went ahead and bought them from the parts store for $30 each wooo
here i am comparing them
see how the q45 rotor is a bit thicker? well see its 28mm and the R33 rotor is 30mm new so you can imagine the wear it has!
anyway the car drives smooth no more problems and it drives on rails....its kind of scary cause i havnt gotten the front end to push on me yet or the rear end to pop out it just turns...!
and here it is installed a perfect fit im happy that i dont have the GT-R calipers i kind of like having the option to find important parts localy
lol
