you've already posted this, why do it again?

some questions

what cold air intake?

what tyres?

what suspension mods?

the exhaust may be too small, a dyno run with the exhaust on and exhaust off will reveal that

the apexi safc is a piggyback, you dont need it as you have chosen stand alone engine management

the apexi rsm is a digital speed / tacho.

Yeah looks like you've got quite a few goodies that you dont even know what they are for. Anyway like others have said make sure its got 3" turbo back zorst, if its just 3" cat back then I would personally upgrade to split dump pipes plus highflow cat. Then you are ready for a tune. My guess is that you can make about 250rwkw+ but obviously depending on the tune, usually there are surprises/problems that can only be seen when having it tuned.

sorry for posting 2 similar topics

just interested in others opinions

I've actually already got a 3" exhaust system straight through, Hi flow cat with 3" in to 5" out turbo muffler at the rear.

didn't think i'd need an SAFC, but this loser at autobarn was trying to convince me otherwise. lol

Does an RSM really do anything worth while?

Can anyone else suggest things worth while getting for my project?

moral of that story.. dont listen to autobarn sales ppl lol

Too right... they talk so much shit.

Wouldn't they be better off hiring staff that know stuff bout cars etc.

rather than just people trained in retail

I had a very similar setup in my R33, i got 246.6kw atw on 16PSI. Had more in it. You should with a good tune make between 250-265. no worries.

In my opinion RSM's are a waste of money, you have a spedo & tacho in front of you. Why do you need another one?? The only thing half decent about it is the optional G sensor function.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
