finally got off my ass and got my car tuned :D

spent the whole day in Croydon Racing Development....i gotta say, im really happy, actually, more than happy with the result, even though i paid through the pee hole for it ($950 for the tune)...i would have been happy with 200atw, but first run got me 216...a few runs later, the cooler hose blew off, but after a little repairs and a hose clamp, dyno read 289rwkw, the guy (Jim, thank you) said that if i got him to dial in the cam gears, he would have gotten more than 300 and made it more drivable (wish i had more money)

but i guess the tune also signifies the end of the journey with the ceffy too...hope i can get a decent price for it :kiss:

lag? haha..what's that, its pretty much instantaneous tourqe baby >_< i really wanna get the cam gears dialed in, bring full boost on 700rpm earlier, but it's no slouch now, so maybe just take a while to get used to it first, static objects become blurry and my BP goes up by 6000rpm in second, the speedo needle goes up at the same pace as the tacho, leaving me with sweaty palms and soiled undies :laugh:

rb26dett + n1 turbos + all other supporting hardware :)

ceffy nsw cruise anyone?

haha...yeah it's unbelievably slow :laugh: i get overtaken by grannies on electrical wheel chairs hahaha

25 are cool man >_< but if you bought my engine a few days ago, you would be driving around with a huge smile accross your face right now, like me -> :)

SHit 290kw thats dam good, what turbos you running again??? let me know if you get the gears dialed in always wanted to get some, to get the turbo on boost a little quicker (my car rb20 with hks2535) not exactly the same but will be interesting to see the result.

Any you selling it as well, well I come round and kick the tyres and take it for a spin.

nah dont think im gonna bother getting the gears dialed...if i do then i wont be selling it :P im running N1 turbos...would be very interested to see the what the cam gears do...i've always been curious about that...i'll see how i go with selling, if it doesnt sell, then i'll get it dialed :0

but first run got me 216...a few runs later, the cooler hose blew off, but after a little repairs and a hose clamp, dyno read 289rwkw,

DAMN... Nice result :( however....

WTF!! Where did the extra 73rwKWs come from? :( ? An extra 8 pounds of boost? Surely just reconnecting the IC piping didn't do that!... What tuning software? PFC, F CON V, SAFC + AVCR? How much boost? and what boost controller?

CRD are awesome tuners and my cefi will be taking the trip there too, but... could you explain your result abit further for me... :( Cheers.

216 was the first run after changing spark plugs, adjusting timing, fuel pressure and crank angle sensor :dry:

they did quite a few runs in it, went from 216 to 249 after a little playing, then 259, then 261 -> cooler hose, then 289.

there was a few runs in the middle where i didnt even look at it. but took a bit of time and a lot of keyboard bashing to get there

yeah i know aye, tell me about it, got the car at end of 04, put in a huge wad of money, get it tuned, make huge power, and then go rid of it...i call that stupidity ;) havent even driven a full 5000km yet, not even enough for one service. by the time i got to canberra for the swap, it just made 2000km in my hands, and 1500 was done since the tune.

ando man, no one seemed interested in a cruise when i suggested it, your beast is in surgery, nissaner sold his car too...i miss her already, that rb26 pulled so hard, i miss it so much...the flares were done in japan somewhere. the rims are 17x9.5 +18mm offset, with room left for more :( i reckon ya could get 11's under the back with that offset, or 10s with 0 offset...zubi, you better put some mass amounts of dish on it man :)

i didnt sell it, actually swapped it with PIMP_DAT here :) now i got his s14a *waits for flaming*

i am now officially the enemy, going from the holy grail of nissan's RBness to the common sr20.

so does this mean i wont be allowed to come for a cruise next time then? :)

sky80 - Mate I have no need to flame u about moving to an SR...you will be flaming yourself when u go to press down on the accelarator and realise you have swapped your 'beast with power' for a 'Granny SR'......

*shows the palm* :D;)

Mate im sure if we can whip together a Cefiro day, the S14 is more than welcome to attend....just reliase if the bonnets pop open there may be an occurance of snickering loacted near yours........ ;)

*waits for flamage from Tom (someonestolecc) :laugh::mad: *

Nah all sweet dude! You gotta do what you gotta do. If it was a choice that had to be made....oh well!

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
