My Day Of Tuning With Matt

Hi all,

I took Wednesday off from work to take care of the other half.... my skyline. I took my car to an exhaust shop to fit my Batmbl split dump/front pipe and catco high flow cat at 8am. As my time with Matt started at 1pm and I live on the northside, I needed it back by 11am. No probs said the exhaust place, at 11:30 I finally get a call and pick her up. Guess what, they put one of their stickers on my back window!!! God I hate that.

After a nice drive down the Pacific highway I get there slightly late. Matt has a small but very good shop, one of his mates was there helping him out with a monster 32 GTR. It had some problems and needed to be pulled apart and Matt doesn't do major mechanical work.

Matt spent about 2 and 1/2 hours tuning and made some major gains over the previous tune at another shop, obviously it had a lot to do with the new exhaust parts. It missed once on the dyno and on the road test drive. So he pulled out the spark plugs and regapped them and it was all sweet. Matt only charged me for two hours on the dyno, he's a cool guy, easy to get along with but wont bullshit you.

As you can see from the dyno chart the power flattens at 5000, thats because the AFM is maxing out. I have a FMIC, EBC, PowerFC, standard turbo at 13.5 psi with Apex power intake and the exhaust I mentioned before with a 3.5 inch catback. I'm pretty happy with the way its going, just need a new Z32 AFM. After I get one I'll try installing it myself or put out the call to northside SAU members to give me a hand if needed :O .170rwkw at 5000 isnt too bad and after a drive up Mt. Mee(unfortunate name) I'm very impressed with the midrange torque and power.

Well as you know I installed my Z32 first thing in the morning before going on the dyno with Matt....

I did a thread in the DIY section on how to install the afm. But me being a northsider im happy to give you a hand or do it for ya if you need...

Is it true that Matt dose'nt like touching Wolfs?

Yes, he hates touchin Wolf's and will only do it if really needs doing.

Other then that, good to see another write up and good comments about Matt.

I'm gettin my z32 AFM shortly and will be requiring another tune!

Hoping to get this all done before Track day though :D

Autronics are his most favourite, then the fc he said.

when i asked him what ecu i should run (26/30 ~700hp, circuit gtr) he said fc over the autronic as the major advantage is the fc has a knock sensor, also will do everything it needs to

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By eli995 · Posted

      (Rb25det intake manifold) I’m having a hell of a time trying to find the full part or part number of this coolant hardline so far I was given these (Below) but they aren’t what I’m looking for and was told it’s the IAR or aac valve but that doesn’t seem to be it either. If someone could point me in the right direction it’d be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has it for sale that’d be great too. I have recently purchased a greddy manifold and I can’t seem to find my old one to pull it off.  (Front Heater Return / Water Pipe (under intake): Primary part: 14053‑21U10 (front return pipe assembly for R33/R34 RB25DET) Alternative listing: 14053‑21U00 (same pipe, sometimes interchangeably referenced)   Heater Feed Pipe: Listed as 14075‑04U00 or feed-related variant 14053‑AG500)

      This sounds cool. But, as per usual, anything really complicated like that, that I take on, constitutes a steep learning curve that I never actually "learn". I just get it working, install it and start using it. Then, when it breaks a few months later, I've got no memory of what I did, how I did it, or even the bloody IP address I gave it. I'm having more or less exactly that problem right now. My Proxmox machine was discovered to be non-responsive, and the VMs on it were ditto. Power cycle it to a stream of loud Dell beep codes - which was unpopular at midnight, I can tell you. Move it to the lounge room so I can HDMI it to the TV for a screen, see the boot messages complaining about the /PVE/data having all sorts of LVM problems, saying it needs to be fixed manually. And I'm like....great. How am I going to work out what I need to do? At least it wasn't the stupid Silicon Power SSD shat itself. Mental note for all readers - DO NOT BUY SP SSDS! They are shit. I have had one take out an entire VM setup already, and this one could have done the same. Maybe it actually has. Cheap Chinesium shitbaskets. I won't cheap out again, even on play projects with no budget. Because my time budget having to fix shit is worth far more than the cost of proper parts.

      I do typically agree. These days even the screens most people use have more of a boot time than the main device. However, I've seen an interesting use of the RPi in vehicle, however it involves effectively building your own OS and MBR, as then it boots up exceptionally quickly, as you don't have everything needing to start up, and you can then also run it up as an RTOS, while still having more compute than an Android can give for things like display, and processing. A very huge task that would be though for Duncan, I'm not sure that's his skill set (or Arduino programming and wiring) ha ha. If end goal is definitely just water cooling, Arduino would be the simpler setup especially for a rookie. If he wants extra display stuff though, bashing some code in Python on an RPi may be the better result for both systems.   Unfortunately the new device I'm building at work which runs a display, is too slow of a display for dashboard style purposes. More extreme low power, update only a couple of times a day type system

      I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.

      As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
