I think you'd find it ok with any of those cars as their power band is so late that you'd just have to control the car on boost.....tight lsd's would make them predictable and they'd mostly just spin the wheels through the gears and leave tough lines :) Traction would be non existant....but in real terms you wouldn't be running a "race tune" all the time. You'd have a street tune with lower boost and lower fuel usage so you didn't foul the plugs 24/7 and need to stop off at the fuel station every 20k's.

So what you are saying is these guys "can" make 1000 ponies but their street setup is more like 6 or 700, hmmm. Give me the gtr any day.

I have finally got my car going again. It was the bloody spark plugs.,Fouled up real bad.

Im glad it wasnt to serious.

good to hear...your car must be overfueling pretty bad to cause them to foul to the point of the car not even starting or attempting to start....

Yeah thats the mircotech for you. They were iridiums only 12000kms old $120 bucks. I will stick to the coppers for $20 a change better in the pocket.

lol this is a great example of why u shoudlnt run dear plugs, as they foul soo easily!

I was told the plugs they sold me were the wrong ones anyway so what ever you do dont get the BKR5EIX-11 wrong heat range and gap.

Well it is for my car.

The recommended ones are the BCPR6ES all ready comes with 0.8 gap.

    • 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!
