heyas, after a good dyno tune for my line. Can someone reccommend tuners they have had good experience with? I live in Parramatta so would be convenient if they were close by. Also, when I rev hard in my GTS-T, I hear a rattling noise....sounds like a loose bolt hitting metal, I've been told its my fuel pump but not too sure...thanks for helping fellas.

advice taken, CRD are going to call me back to book a date to bring it in. Sorry about the thread i tried a search for "dyno" "tuner" etc. not much luck.

I spoke to my mechanic (very competant, always working on turbo imports especially skylines) and he is most definite that it is the fuel I'm using. My line is running BP Ultimate most of the time, other times its BP Unleaded, Shell Unleaded or Shell Optimax....could it possibly be that I'm using too many different fuels? or too much of the same fuel?

just gave hitman a call, he rekons i shouldn't be running anything less than 98 oct :D since fuel in japan is stronger. He recommended runing it till its empty, and then fill up full tank of ultimate, and if its still pinging to give him a call to book a tune. I think I might end up going with Hitman instead of CRD, did a search and most guys here have had good results from him, as well him being cheaper :laugh:

I'll let yas know how it goes.

ALWAYS use 98 octane petrol - for the few cents per litre difference its not worth the hassle.

Ya :D

Since I got my car last year, ive always used BP Ultimate, untill there was the period where it ran out. I used Shell optimax. I felt the car running less power but more kms.

Since then ive always put in BP ultimate and never less..

So yea, if can afford a perfromance car give it the good juice!

Problems sold, by CRD (wasn't bothered to go to penrith :bunny: ). Main problem were the sparks. not sure exactly which ones my mechanic put in, iridium heat range 6 ones. after putting in the right ones, the boys at crd persisted to run the car again to see if there are any other problems and wa-lah everything was fine. :D

forgot to get the first run's readout but got the last. I can tell you that the first run showed a shocking curve...

car runs ALOT smoother now, and just feels healthier all round. Going back to get a Walbro installed (lazy pump was also revealed on the day), and might set the controller to around 10-12psi. cheers for the help fellas i'll post up again after pump.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
