SIKR33

On the internet, as in real life, there are certain rules that people should follow - in this case, they are referred to as 'netiquette'. Here are a couple of links I found by typing 'netiquette' into Google:

You will note that typing with caps lock on, apart from being annoying to read, is considered as shouting on the internet, and can also be considered rude in some circumstances.

Noone is suggesting that you're an idiot or anything because you use caps lock - in fact, I think most of us appreciate you taking the time to post up little tidbits of info like that in your top post. It's simply more pleasant to read something that's written in lower case or, preferably, mixed case (proper capitalisation). Please don't bite someone's head off because they have the nerve to offer constructive criticism.

Please, PLEASE, turn your caps lock off. Think of it like the indicator on your car. It isn't absolutely necessary to use it to go places, but it sure as hell makes the trip far more pleasant for those you encounter along the way.

Yes, I had a spare five seconds to look up that info. It shows a huge amount of immaturity on your part for attacking people who have a simple request, like pressing ONE KEY on your keyboard. All of 23 posts to your name and already stirring shìt.

570CK, I've read what he has to say and its useless info. As a FYI, I went out to my garage and fondled the hose's going to the solenoid that I'd previously removed. No restrictor. Its a well known GTR tip, not one for the 25t.

Can a mod please, please ban SIKR33. Every post I've read from him has been useless. Every sugestion to him to not use caps has been ignored.

anyone got more info on the location of this restrictor? or some pics?

does it restrict air before it enters the turbo or boosted air after it leaves the turbo? coz if it is after then it will probably up the boost won't it? And for soemone running on 10psi (me!) that could mean turbo danger in the future if you rise again.

I don't think you're dazzling anyone with your intelligence. Ignoring and subsequently attacking people with an incredibly simple request is not a good way to make friends in here.

Anyway, getting back on topic, a restrictor in the wastegate line, particularly after any boost controller, can only slow the passage of pressurised air, thereby causing boost to come on harder and possibly with a small spike. Surely removing it will slow boost response and remove any short spike in the boost curve? So, without some form of EBC or at least a gated bleed valve, the car will feel more sluggish. With an aftermarket controller, you don't want a restriction to affect the function of the controller so in this case, go for it and remove the restrictor.

Yep is does cause the boost to spike

Hey guys, the point that needs to be acknowledged in this discussion is that it only applies to the GTR. For people who think that it does not increase power, your wrong.

Last week I was told by my tuner/mechanic who specialises in GTR's said that he was surprised that I still had the restrictor in, apperantly it's the first thing you do when buying a GTR (remove restrictor), and it DOES NOT harm your engine or turbo.

Anyway I had my car tuned on the dyno and it went from 185 rwkws (stock boost) to 215 rwkws with taking out restrictor and installing adjustable cam gears/dialing in cams. Boost increased to 13.5 psi, but only held 12.7 psi through high revs. However Powewr FC with boost solenoid and hand controller are going in in the next few weeks, to increase boost to 1.1 bar (apprx 16psi) and lean out the fuel (was running 10.8 a/f ratio). Power should increase to 240-250 rwkws.

Therefore by taking out restrictor it increased boost from approx. 9 psi to 13 psi. Definetly a power increase there.

Just thought I'd shine some light into the discussion.

P.S Other mods incl full exhaust (3'' high flow cat), Apexi pod filter kit, oil catch can.

guys if you dont believe me ask the guys at tilbrooks auto and dyno theyre the guys who told me to remove the factory retstrictor and seriously i have had no problems here the car goes like a shower of shit AND YES i am a licenced aircraft maintenance engineer i did 6 1/2 years in the RAAF in ardu

AIRCRAFT research and DEVELOPMENT uNIT BASED AT raaf EDINBURGH sorry guys i know a hellava lot more about jet turbines did my basic training on turbo charged aircraft engines

so believe what you want gredenko and inasnt

dont like what i write well F%^k u

Unless Nissan started putting RB26's in the series II (and did a damn good job of disguising them), you ain't got no restrictor. I don't know what the hell you've been pulling out of your engine bay to make it "go like a shower of shit", but it sure as hell wasn't a restrictor.

Wait! Maybe you turned your back on the car one day and someone dumped a RB26 in there for you. That would explain it!

Dude, don't believe me. Believe the vacum hoses that came off my car.

Name dropping hey. Well then, that backs up everything you've said. Two can play at that. I just got off the phone with HKS Japan, want to know what they said? They said you should stop waving your dick about in forums. The 25t has no boost restrictor, you probably misunderstood what ever it was tilbrooks was trying to tell you. Adding a restrictor (in the right place) will increase boost however.

    • 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.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
