Guess how much I have spent....you will hate me

nah no quarter mile time yet, I have had it since Feb this year....and been replacing stuff and trying to get ti to run properly since July :happy: lol

try finding someone to tune an FCONV...it doesnt happen in qld...so I used to have to contend with an extremely anoying idle and some very rich afr's. I believe that Matty Spry might have the software now though.

that's easily fixed, bust out the scissors, cut Mr HKS off and wire in Mr MOTEC :happy:

no idea... 20K?

And for the record that 13,250 is how much the car cost me btw :happy:

All ive changed is fluids :P

Ahhh I see in that case you are doing better than me :P

It would be good if he did have it! They are an awesome computer

With the 3037s what was the boost response like?

was going to but never got around to it and eventually sold the car.....to tempting. I need my license and it was annoying to go driving and worry about the police pulling me over for a check and going, excuse me sir but why does that screamer pipe vent into the atmosphere? (amongst otherthings) Im going to wait and have 2 cars, one for track and one for the street. Its a much better and safer equation. I do miss the fun though..alot!

Ahhh I see in that case you are doing better than me :P

money wise maybe - performance wise not :happy:

im not a childrens anymore though :P

have to make house payments now so cant just willy nilly buy things

am EXTREMELY happy with my car though! skylines are sooo cool!

It was good for a turbo of its size, I had cams which aided it, but it came on around the 3800-4000 mark at 1bar.

You will be first on the list Anna!

Hey when do you need the mone for the NYE thing. Looks like there will be 2 of us

sik sik subw00fa!

Money anytime mate, I just need to know if you're a DEFINATE. Including you 2, there are 8 definates. So I only need 2 more to get the discount :happy:

your right about the fconv too, they are an awesome computer...just very hard to tune being they are in japanese and almost noone in aust has the software. Other than that they have so many features and allow an amazing tune. My car had been tuned by garage saurus in japan but they must have made the map a lot richer when the car was sold because the afr's were a joke when it was dyno'd at millenium.

I have spent under 15k on mods...so I guess I am still doing ok!

Hmmm thats not toooo bad *ponders*

got ny idea what the 3037 garrett equivalent is?

you mean price wise or what the difference in boost response etc is? Garrett make HKS turbos and they also make a 3037...the difference is the wheels, HKS put different wheels in their turbos to make them respond faster and smoother etc etc...But Garrett turbos are cheaper than HKS, so i guess you way up the options.

Edited by 33NIZ
A GT30 somthing?

But I bet it isnt as good :)

Its nowhere near as good, almost all HKS turbos have an equivelant Garrett turbo being that they are both made the same. But there is a big difference in response and overall peformance. I have been in cars with the exact same turbos, HKS and Garrett versions. You notice the difference.

no no i mean wats the equivalent turbo in the garrett range i.e 3040R

HKS only come into their own with hi boost and big rpm, otherwise the garretts are just as good. and quite frankly, if u want to pay the extra couple grand for the 'better' hks then go ahead :)

dude that's rubbish. there have been people test each turbo on the exact same motor, and the only difference they noticed was the HKS provided marginally better performance at higher than normal boost (2bar+) and high rpm

Cheers will have and a talk to the girl tonight and make it definate.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
