well then you need injectors, ecu, afm, clutch, diff, suspension.

4g's suddenly turns into a 8-10k adventure >_<

You heard the man NISMOID>>>he already got that sh*t so what a perfect scenario for an induction upgrade...

BTW i couldn't think of a more appropriate picture for you to have in ur display/profile - definately you to a tee haha.

Well from your last 3 posts, i'll gladly share it with ya >_<

Oh, and he still didnt have the injectors, presumably ECU as it wasnt mentioned, dif... So make 8k... 7k to do it all correctly.

Who said 8-10k again? Hmm... i wonder who that was. Not too far off the mark. Sure beats the seemingly un-intelligent 4grand

Un intelligent 4grand...that would be the best 4g's he could spend and who says he cant either a) fit it himself or b) get mates rates

The unintelligent money here is the 1650 he was gonna pay for a wastegate install

And also....we're missing the point here...Rami hasnt stated a budget so the possibilities are endless

10 points for trying NISMOID

All this coming from a guy who LOVES to let mechanics THRASH THE SH*T outa his bomby As* car

- An internal gate screamer pipe is just an exhaust leak, and won't get you the sound you want. (buy a split dump then cut it.. >_<)

- $1650 to put an external gate on your turbo sounds about right. There's a lot of work involved. They need to modify your manifold (spacer or otherwise) to fit the gate, then they need to weld up the holes in your turbo where the internal gate is, then they need to modify or fabricate a new dump/front pipe.... so ummm.. yeah, whole lot of work for a "bit of noise"....

- 14psi through a screamer sounds shit....

Wilch is spot on. $1650 is a about what it would cost to put one on. If you are going to spend $4g on a kit get a 6Boost kit, at least you will get a decent manifold unlike a reworked std one in the other kit. As for Rigolis they were the only blokes that i would take my car to before they moved back down to Sydney. The quality of there work was always exceptional and never had a problem with them.

Spot on? ive seen cheaper. 6Boost kit? neva heard of it. As for Rigolis.... *edited by moderators*

Youve seen cheaper. Good on you, just because joe blogs down the road will dodgy something up, doesnt mean its worth it. Dont know about 6boost kits http://www.performanceforums.com/forums/sh....php?t=67194195 there you go. Im sure FStr32 will have something critical to say about that to or that you can get something cheaper but ive got one at the quality is excellent.

haha...chris is it. well chris, i merely said that i hadnt heard of the 6boost kit (i wasnt bagging it out like you made out i was) thanks for the education and stating the obvious but i'll give it a miss. I dont usually comment on these forums and only feel the need to challenge ppl when i feel that they are bein as*es. Forums are used for helpful discussions...not for ppl to excercise their superior knowledge in a way that makes other people feel inferior. Some ppl on these forums really need to take a reality check, we are all skyline enthusiasts here. By being critical about everything i am simply trying to make a point. Its bloody annoying isnt it...now you know how me and other ppl feel. --------> END OF STORY.

Mate have a read of the original question and then what you wrote in the thread and you will realise who the ass is. It wasnt till Wilch made a post that the question got an answer. I personal would go for a turbo kit as well but he wasnt asking that was he. So why dont you just answer the question instead of attacking other peoples opinions.

Mate...are you retarded? What i just said was that i was PURPOSELY being an ass in this topic so that some of you get the point about how f*kin annoying it is when other ppl do the same thing except they are serious! quote - "i am just trying to MAKE A POINT".

Wilch partly answered the question...No rami wasn't originally after a big hp turbo kit but i only suggested a turbo kit upgrade becuase i didnt see any point in him faulking out $1650 on a wastegate install when it wasnt even necessary for the mods he had. My suggestion was more of a "further down the track" suggestion if you get what i mean...who in there right mind would unnecessarily spend $1650 for something they didnt need...i know i wouldnt!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
