hey fellaz just pondering atm, i hve fmic 300zx single turbo full xhaust walbro pump apexi pod filter, im just wondering if the stock ecu could handle bigger injectors and a reg, if so what size/brands u guys rekon? or should the money be better spent on cams/cam gears, i dont wana go over $1000 so im assuming cams is out due to cost, it made 260hp at the wheels on 1 bar, oh and its a r32 gts-t, cheers :)

RB20 im guessin. Personally i'd ditch the stockas ECU and upgrade to an aftermarket item before you do injectors...just my opinion...you have all basic mods. next up is ecu change and then you can think about injectors, boost contoller, bov and the like. Up to you.

yeah sorry its rb20, ermm i just added to my list, ignition coils (still std) the car already runs a blitz bov( soom to be plumbed back) and i use a hybrid ebc, i leaning towards coils due to the fact std ones are known to f**k up, still any input would be most welcome, oh another thing, what bout a better afm? lol the more i think bout it the more the $$$$ budget goes up, funny that

Haha...make up your mind mate. Well i'd get all ur shit sorted out eg coils whatever. Should be fine tho for the mods/power you have...what boost you running? I just run a mapped microtech ecu without afm...annoying when afm f*k up.

You have a jap import...get used to spending lots of money...never satisfied haha.

money lol, im bout to spend 2000 fixing body damage after it got stolen then trashed, lil f**kers! as for boost, it spikes at 18psi up to bout 5500rpm boost starts at bout 3000, levels off to 14psi from 5500rpm onwards

what do u mean "it spikes"?...probly a little high if you want your engine to last...yeh but i didnt really understand that bit about you describing your boost...u dyno tuned it recently?

You really need an a/m ecu if you want to add injectors, different afm or cams. Anything more then what you have now and your just going to be wasting money. The a/m ecu will at least let you tune what you have now properly, and then give you the head room to expand successfully from there on.

yeah had it dynoed reccently, i mean from what i gather the boost is set high but the worn out factory spring tension isnt up to scratch, so it wont hold higher in the rpm, it made 196kw with that setting, never leaning out, i made him run the car several times as the old pcm with a chip in it leaned out the old moter cause piston failure, trust me i dont wana do that again.

There's a contact here in SAU, he does a remote tune, sends a few chips over, you have them fitted and each one of them ran on the dyno too see which works best.

Allthough not 100% spot on its safe and from the experience of others works well.

Dr Drift is another one who tunes. Unsure where he is located.

Here in Adelaide to map the std ecu was too expensive, A few hundred more and I had myself a PFC that has since been tuned 3 times. So I am now ahead. :)

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
