Tuner didnt advise 16psi. I SAID MILLION TIMES. Its not holding boost for some reason and I suspect actuators or ebc. Which I found out later that the apexi ones are shit. He told me he's got another customer running apexi got the same problem too but when he switched to evc 6, problem gone.

hows changing ecu effect your actuators?

electrical vs. mechanical... :blink:

google image search "hr31" with safe search off, and lol at the images, there is a sausage roller and a gay dude

Tough cars though. Just a pity I see so many shit ones around Sunnybank. Saw 2 really nice ones during the SAU drag day and I even lost to 1 of them on my first run.

Oh yea Dave, when are you finishing up your apprenticeship?

I think theres a few electrician vacancies come up if they can get internal people. I suspect minimum pay for these role to be above 120k pa but of course its site based.

Haha... because you've not done research on importing. Remember? I was in the market for a 34gtr before and I've looked at all options. I'm even quite familiar with the import process myself. A stock NUR would be around 80-90k mark. To make the NUR produce that kinda figure (400awkw) isnt hard at all. All you need is fuel, ecu, boost ($5k job?). Thats all. You might even get away with their stock turbos if they're the 34 N1s. Now even with turbos, considering -5, do you think it'll cost you another 50k to get your stock NUR to produce that power? All the mines shit is just branding imo. So what if its got all the ztune stuff? From memory, Kristian told me the ztune for sold for around 160k mark. And also, I saw a genuine mines on sale a few years ago for less than that price.

You mentioned the z tune stuff. Always thought the Z tunes were in excess of 200k when all was said and done but could be wrong.

Colin: I'm not saying 400awkw with 5k I'm saying you dont have to spend 50k extra to get 400awkw. Considering the 34gtrs are more refined than the precendents, remember the topic is on the 34 Mspec NUR not just an mspec. The NUR engine if I'm not wrong is equivalent to an N1.

I know a guy in perth that has a vspec 2 nur running slightly over 350awkw with what I said, ecu, ebc, injectors, afm and fuel pump.

I'd challenge you to find somebody who is making 400awkw who has spent less than 30k while building the car. Most people end up spending close to the original purchase price of the car especially when you start to through in bigger brakes, suspension, driveline etc. Making 400awkw is easy yes but making it reliable. That's why people spend the extra money.

Making a bit over 350awkw and making 425awkw like that GTR is worlds apart.

just rock 1000cc injectors

Amen 1 injector upgrade for all your future needs.

Martin: ??? Is it so hard to understand issue I have is holding boost and not not enough fuel?

Coro drive is shit today for anyone thats going inbound. But the flyover bridge outbound is sweet. That'll make a perfect fly over entry for you Colin. Dont bother with those small speed bump!

Colin: I already know of someone who did in Perth like I've mentioned. These are not track car thats subjected to constant abuse. 20k 30k and 50k is a lot of difference. And you said anyone you know end up spending more money than what the car is worth for that kinda build, what cars are they? Remember this is NUR we're talking about and stock price is 80-90k. You're saying they'll spend 100k on it? And I'm not saying you any 34gtr can do it for that price tag.

Oh and Gtr Injectors can make 300awkw.....I reckon if Brandon could get somthing to hold boost his current set up would go awfully close to 300awkw, i would be nervous about injectors running in the high 90s but ive done it before! lol

He's running -5. My point to that was the fact that you dont need to spend 50k to get that figure. He was running close to 350 on the N1s though. Seriously all these is back to that black nur on sale... just keeps drifting further and further away.

Andy: Good to see someone actually agrees. I know its not advisable but if I'm not gonna bashing it all the time I dont see any problem with it. Everyone knows how I drive, like a grandma. Theres a line between whats a MUST have and whats GOOD to have. And reason why I'm so pedantic about keeping it as stock as possible is because of its pedigree. And in my case, I've drawen the line. But maybe I'll head Dan's advise to get at least a fpr.

No you dont need to spend 50k to make that figure, but you probably do to make it last for more than 6 months...also Perth is the place of the largest power figures for the least mods, take anything from there with a grain of salt

I should keep a look out on the Perth thread then. I'm sure someone will whine bout it when something does break.

Only this morning then I found out Perth is just as bad as Melb when it comes to defecting. I'm glad QLD is still alright for now...

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
