    Didn't realise you were in Perth! Who is tuning your car and who built the engine??

    Hi mate,

    Bottom end was done by Applied Automotive Engineering and the rest of the work is done by GS Auto Works (Grant). Ill be taking the car to Hyperdrive for a tune once it is completed. Hopefully in a month or two time.

    Hyperdrive have tuned my RB26 for the last 13 years. Stock motor making 600rear still going strong.

    Andy can get pretty busy but know's his Nissans.  

    Tunes all the usual too, powerFC, link, nistune, haltech, motec etc etc

    Thanks for your reply mate. I am leaning towards Andy as well. 

  3. Hi All,

    Want to hear from the fellow SAU WA members about their experiences getting their car tuned.

    My build is almost finished I've started looking at tuners. So far I have 3 tuners in my list and which i'd like to hear about others opinions. 

    • PZP
    • HyperDrive
    • Tune Corp

    Any input would be much appreciated

  4. FOR SALE: RB26 ID1000CC Injectors (E85 compatible)

    Got them professionally cleaned but never got to put them in as I need bigger injectors for the power I am chasing now. 

    Can send a link to the injector cleaner business doing the clean on the injectors.

    O rings are all replaced.

    Price: $650

    Located in Perth but happy to post them at buyers expense. 

    Thanks

  5. Hey All,

    I have a question. 

    My aircon was pulled out by the previous owner and I was told he chucked it in the bin lol. 

    I have a friend who just finished building a r33 street/race car which he ended up taking his aircon out. Was wondering if the r33 aircon and the condenser etc will fit into my r32?

    Thanks

    The Fury isn't a plug-in, the plug-in is equivalent to the G4+ Xtreme (which is basically the same as the Fury but doesn't have onboard wideband control). 

     

    In all honesty, comparing ECU's can get a bit confusing at face value. You need to know what you want from the ECU. If you need specific functions like knock control, launch control, traction control, wideband control, data logging, etc, then you can look at the ECU's capabilities and pick one. This is really for guys using their car for motorsport, because that is really the only situation where you might be thinking "ok, I could shave a bit of time off if my ECU could do X or Y". For a street car, where you just want good resolution to have accurate control of the engine and perhaps some safety features, then pretty much all modern ECU's are going to be able to do it for you. This is where the advice of 'ask your tuner what he recommends' becomes pretty valid, because if your tuner for any reason feels more comfortable tuning a Haltech vs a Link or vise versa, then go with that suggestion because at the end of the day your ECU is only going to do what the guy with the laptop tells it to do. If your tuner says "whatever you like, we can tune anything", which most of them will, then pick based on your budget. Plug-ins are going to be miles cheaper to setup compared to a full wire-in, so take that into account.

     

    My biggest piece of advice would be pay attention to how many inputs/outputs your ECU gives you. Most people will chew up AVI's very very quickly, so you want as many of those as you can get to suit your budget. 

    Thanks for the info mate. I think I've made up my mind and going with the Haltech Elite 2000.. My tuner also recommended either Elite 2000 or 2500. 

     

  7. UPDATE:

    Tuff engine mounts arrived today. Will be dropping the gates timing belt to the mechanics shop today or tomorrow!

    The engine should be going in this week ? more photos to follow later this week. 

    Started polishing the exhaust. Still have heaps to do and will have to grind the welding joint to make it look half decent.

    Hey everyone,

    I've always wanted to start a thread and constantly update it over the years with new mods etc, then look back at the progress and see how far it's come. So here it is!

    This is my 2001 Skyline R34 GTR. It was a grade 4B at the auctions and was exported on the 2nd of March 2018. I later purchased it from a local dealer here in Sydney on the 21st of December 2018 as a nice little Christmas present to myself.

    As you could imagine I was ecstatic about finally owning a car I have only dreamed about. Although I did pay a premium price for it, it was worth every penny to me (and that's all that really matters).

    Theres not much to say about it really. It is a base model and had absolutely no modifications done to it, but that will slowly change over time as you guys will see in this thread! That same weekend I bought a new Kenwood head unit and Alpine speakers to replace the factory speakers and crappy aftermarket head unit that was already in the car. At the time I didn't think of taking any photos of the install but I don't think that is too interesting anyways haha.

    After about two months of owning the car, it was time to find a good exhaust system so I could listen to that RB26 in all of it's glory! I found someone selling some near new HKS front pipes, high-flow cat and Tomei Expreme Ti cat-back which I jumped on straight away and got myself a bargain!

    Then around mid-June 2019 I got myself a brand new NISMO Intercooler off a member on this forum, installed it and colour matched the front lip to the rest of the car.

    Fast forward to last weekend where I replaced the factory clutch and duel-mass flywheel for a NISMO twin plate and boy does that clutch feel so good. I'm not going to be chasing 1000hp like most GTR's in Sydney, but this clutch install should be overkill for the power level I want out of it.

    (Pulling the clutch out at my work. Definitely not something I wanted to do on my garage floor and my boss was kind enough to let me come in on the weekend and use a hoist so I could replace it)

    (Definitely needs a good clean up in there)

    (Bell housing cleaned up nicely with new release bearing)

    Really impressed with how easy it is to use the NISMO twin plate. Feels just like the stock one with a bit more bite. Anyways, that's a quick catch up of what life has been like for the past year and a half of ownership. More exciting things to come! I hope you guys enjoy the journey with me. Until next time ✌️

     

    Great looking car mate! Very tasteful mods so far.

    Hopefully I can be a proud owner of one of these one day.. currently building my 32 gtr.

    Hi I've never resprayed a car before and I'm getting the front panels new front bumper and the roof resprayed due to paint fade. What i want some advice on is should i get the rest cut and polished before to bring it back up to match the new paint as much as possible or do i get the whole car done afterwards.

    I have no idea if the new paint would need it but i see some threads here asking when they can cut and polish thsir new paint job.

     

    Thx for any advice

    Hi mate,

    I would do it after it is painted. Just so you know how much to cut/polish etc.

    I have not used a Haltech,

     

     

     

    However have a Link G4+

     

     

     

    I find the functionality and interface easy for myself to setup different things i.e. launch control adjust rev limits and boost by gear.

     

    Logging is comprehensive and easy to use / download / analyse.

     

     

     

    Ultimately depends who is tuning your car and what they want to use.

     

    Who is your tuner mate if you don’t mind me asking?

    broke nismo ones frequently, tuff mounts are the way to go

    Purchased the Tuff mounts :)

    I have a question for everyone here..

    Haltech Elite 2000 vs Link G4 Fury plug in.

    What are the differences, advantages and disadvantages? there's a significant price difference between the two.

     

  12. UPDATE: 

    -Cams went in this week and valve clearances etc all checked.

    -Ordered Gates Racing Timing Belt

    -Painted the brake booster and all other small bits and pieces - will upload pics soon. 

    -Engine is scheduled to go back in by end of next week (hopefully) lol

     

    Am thinking of buying Tuff engine mounts. would appreciate any feedback on these before I purchase it.
