  1. Hey y'all I want to change my plugs before I get this beatch dynoed. I imagine the ones they put in for compliancing were nasty el cheapo. Basic mods are here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=181185 Want 200rw or slightly more if possible I am thinking NGK BKR6EIX 0.8 gap Iridium Yeah I know Iridium is wanky but you have to change them less often, which works for me. So questions, for this power on a road car 1) Is heat range 6 good ? 2) Is 0.8mm gap better or stick with 1.1 mm ? Cheerz
  2. Thanks to those who made suggestions. I bypassed the stock solenoid and the boost seems to build quicker. It still only hits peak boost around the 4-4.5K mark though, still feels slack at low revs. When I eventually get a tune I'll throw a chart up if anyone's interested. BTW does anyone know if there are any tuners in Bris or Toowoomba who can tune the H8 chip in this chipped ECU?
  3. Yah yah I know I should dyno before I start complaining. I still think GTST needs to rev too hard before you see any power, all the dyno charts I see are really peaky, which means almost anything down to granny's vdub can do you on take off.
  4. Should have gone with the PFC in the first place You reckon autotech or paramount could tune this H8 chip?
  5. Its been complied < 1000km ago, so I would assume they checked basic stuff like that.
  6. I had a nipple tapped into the piping in place of the old one. Sure there aint no leaks here either I'm obsessive compulsive when it comes to tightening. Yeah maybe the stock solenoid is carp.
  7. Toowoomba hey Brett you know anyone in town who could retune this ECU? Its got one of those square sockets with a H8 chip in it.
  8. Yeah I thought long and hard about the ECU tune, the reason I bought it from SECURITY was he said its tuned to get the most out of these mods at ~12 psi stock turbo. Not really convinced about the boost control jeff, I had a turbotech set up and it didn't really make much difference, I don't see an ebc doing any better, ok maybe a little better but I cant justify another $500 on something that does a marginally better job than a $20 turbotech. Basically I'm thinking of ditching the FMIC and going back to an R34 SMIC, or maybe ditching the 33 for a soarer
  9. Hey guys So I've pretty much done the whole 'stage 1' mods according to this site http://nissanskyline.6te.net/tuning_GTS25T.htm Turbo back 3" X-force exhaust Cooling Pro Type 2 Intercooler Grounded solenoid Aftermarket actuator set for ~12 psi ECU tuned for 12 PSI on stock turbo, r & r removed etc, bought from SECURITY, not custom tuned Customised enlarged snorkel to fit IC piping + Apexi panel filter Front strut brace ...and results are dissapointing imo I haven't dyno'd it yet, but it feels really slack until it hits mega rpm, take off is just sad, any old commonwhore would chomp me. I'm thinking turbo lag is a major factor. I think it could do with a new fuel pump and maybe gapped plugs (?), clutch seems fine, not really convinced to get an ebc My aim was about 200rw, and I was thinking with the 33's lower weight it should be as quick as a stock 300ZX TT or Soarer, which are both specified at about 300HP, but I've driven both of those cars, and I'm sure they would rip this a new one . Hell even a stockish 180sx I drove seemed quicker than this. So yeah very dissapointed to be honest, and I don't want to spend 3-4K on a turbo and everything that goes with it, I'll just lose it all when I sell the car for less than I bought it probably Anyone else in the same boat?
  10. Hey Bass what's the status on this order? They comin in this week?
  11. Sorry mate bit rich for me and I don't really like the carbon fibre look anyhoo
  12. Howdy folks, bought this from livicuru, didn't know it was series 2, I've got series 1. Given it an armourall and you can see in the pic its in very good nic with a nice boot. --> Is on ebay now - starting price $50 Paid $100 You can have it for $50 + $10 postage firm, PM me if interested.
  13. No sorry, want to sell the exhaust as a unit.
  14. Just one night with your girl there mate :sorcerer: I wish $25 will do it
  15. Sounds like good advice to me, will be asking for this when I go for a tune $200 sounds pretty cheap for a tune, is that the going rate?
