I reckon 14.5. Then if you run faster you will feel good about it.

Hard to say what the power is at the engine, maybe 260HP. What was the power before the unichip went on?

Go to the local drag strip and have a go. I could probably have a guess at the power based on the terminal speed you get then. Besides its just plain good fun to go drag racing!

Tell me does the car feel any faster with the UNICHIP on, I'm curious coz mine didn't. After the so-called tune of the Unichip I was apparently making 198rwkw, not that it felt like it, so I took it along to a Skyline dyno day and only managed 165rwkw with the power curve all over the place. Needless to say I got my money back and fitted an SAFC, I returned to the same dyno where I made 168rwkw untuned(that's 3kw more than Unichip) and 188rwkw with the SAFC tuned. Although peak power only went up 20kw at one point in the rev range a 44kw increase occured, and that you can FEEL!

210rwhp is less than 160rwkw.

the car feels faster but not too extrodinary. I dont know if the power will deteriate or not but so far so good.

My car is pretty standard, I only put a pot filter in with cold air partition.

160rwkw isnt much at all, but I dont plan to drive it for too long.

what other mods have you done to your car?

i would imagine that when using an external device between the ecu and the engine that when the standard ECU notices from (a) the o2 sensor that the mixture is too lean/rich and (B) the knock sensor detects pinging that more adjustments would be made to the fuel and timing respectively to get it back within bounds. if the unichip (really an interceptor right?) causes the ECU to detect these things woudln't it pull back futher?

no the piggy back ecu called unichip by passes the computer for fuel and ignition but still works within standard parrameters i.e correction maps they are rubbish and wouldnt fit one to my lawnmower as resolution on them is poor and without the ability to insert custom correction maps your chasing your taill. Save some money and buy an autronic!!! Also the tuner also has more to do with the power and how well the car runs than the actual computer itself cause a monkey on a motec is worse than stock ecu

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
