rb120why...

is that an rb20?

and what gearbox?

nice results though mate

yeah mate... RB20 6 cylinders with the RB25 auto behind it. I guess im lucky and have a weight advantage against the skylines :P

The afm is now before the throttle body with a K&N filter on the turbo

The red button on the right dash is the overdrive switch

nice mate :P

where did you get the automatic work done?

Auto is stock mate... Just the shift controller and shift kit from MV Automatics.

Shift kit dropped my times from 14.1 @ 103 to 13.3 @ 108 before i had the first tune done...This was the best mod i have done so far :( Im learning more about the car every day :(

I have been inspired to mod the R33 auto properly. Been buying up bits and doing the research.

So far the car is quite stock just a BATMBL split dump/front pipe and Fujitsubo catback.

Definate upgrades will be:

Splitfire coil packs (current ones are shagged, just need to put these in)

PRofec B Spec-II

Bosch 040 (stock one isn't keeping up as is)

Z32 AFM

Undecided upgrades:

E-Manage with all 3 harnesses vs SAFC2 + SITC (both around $600 solutions except that's brand new for E-Manage)

Slide vs GCG Hi-Flow (probably come down to cost meaning Slide, already have a spare turbo)

550cc injectors (if required, do I need a fuel reg then as well?)

FMIC vs R34 SMIC (the FMICs are getting so cheap and are supporting 300+rwkw why not get one?)

Probably forgetting something but you get the idea. Mechanic reckons it currently has ~135/140rwkw but couldn't safely do a power run with the fuel issues. Once everything is on don't really know what to expect, hopefully over 200rwkw, we'll see. Fingers crossed, cheque book out :happy:

scrap the emanage or safc

get a power fc and tune it properly.

wont work bla bla bla...

i have been running a power fc on my S1 r33 auto for 12 months with the standard trans without an issue

and 4 door sleeper has had a power fc for a couple of years.

Ditch the PowerFC idea too ... unless of course you don't like your auto and want it to blow up on you. How much power do you have dangerman4? How are you compensating for the ignition retardation each time the auto shifts gears?

mate,

ditch the z32 AFM idea and profec B idea and replace with FMIC kit (eg justjap) and turbutech boost controller..

then spend the rest on shift kit and high-stall and trans cooler :verymad:

Why would I replace the Z32 AFM with a FMIC when I am already going to get both? Especially when the standard AFM will most likely be maxed out.

I also want more than one boost setting and be able to do it from the cabin so yeah I've paid what $360 for the pleasure, it happens.

This is a possibility and there is the fact that PFCs are easy to sell so if it doesn't work out the loss isn't as bad.

oh no, please not the powerFC in an auto arguement again! there's a whole thread for that...

safe to say a remap is a great idea and is available for all models of skylines these days...

I wasn't aware that the R33 and R34s could now be remapped, afaik they can't be only the R32s.

That would be over 300rwkw, MV stage 2 shift kit and a large trans cooler as per his post.

Yes the shift logic is really good and it's a shame to get rid of it.

there's a guy in sydney who re-tunes R33's (do a search)

and i know mercury motorsport (www.mercurymotorsport.com.au) tune R34's so it can be done

when i said replace z32 with FMIC, i mean don't get a z32, use the standard one (it will work fine) and use the cash to get a FMIC kit

Interesting that the HKS F-CON removes the ignition retard for up shifts on autos.

Please explain?? I think I have that very problem, didn't realise it was normal, my gear changes are very laggy and feeels like the car forgets to change gears for a second.

Here's my details:

Hybrid FMIC

Pod Filter With Sheild and CAI

HKS EVC IV at 8.5 PSI

Stock Exhaust

SAFC2

160kW

------------------

Hybrid FMIC

Pod Filter With Sheild and CAI

HKS EVC IV at 11 PSI

Turbo Back Exhaust with Hi-FLow cat

SAFC2

180.5kW

Hmm

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. It does take a second (I think it is literally one full second) to change gear. One of the listed features on the F-CON is removing the ignition retard on upshifts when running with an auto. I am assuming this is an optional feature. This means running a F-CON with this feature on would mean that the most stressful (I assume) change on the auto box being the down shift when you plant the foot would still have that ignition retard and those under brakes. The subsequent up-shifts when accelerating would not have the ignition retard and just slam that sucker into gear, exactly what most of the 'can't run a PFC in an auto' crowd are so afraid of.

I wouldn't mind an F-CON except that no one in Vic can tune them and they are just as if not more expensive than a PFC.

I think you've mis-interpreted what the F-CON does with autos... it doesn't remove ignition retard; it actually imposes the ignition retard.

Have a read through some of SK's posts on Autos and ECUs - he stresses the importance of the ignition retard with autos.

I've got the F-CON V Pro installed; car shifts solidly and rapidliy. Mind you I'm running a fully rebuilt gearbox with a shift kit. Shifts are instantaneous when off throttle and takes about 0.5-1.0seconds when on throttle.

The directness of the changes is so good and sharp that there is quite a "thud" when I'm changing gears. Sounds like something is breaking :thumbsup:

Don't see how else this can be interpreted

A/T shift compensation

This function avoids the ignition from retard angle compensation when an up shift is performed in a car with an automatic transmission.

Hoever that is from the SZ maybe the V is different.

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
