finalised the tune of the power fc on the shitfighter today decided to go with a mild map that came out at 171.5KW at the rears at 4630 RPM and pretty much maintains that level till 6200 RPM then starts to drop off from there.

i dont have a scanner so i cant show the curve but will try to organise it soon.

mods are as follows.

power fc, split dump pipe, hi-flow cat, centre resonator removed and custom rear muffler, free breathing panel filter, turbosmart E-BOOST2 set at 11.5 PSI,C's brand short shifter kit, and pivot speed meter x.

havent really decided what else to do yet power wise, but see what happens down the track.

as it is my daily driver and also the shopping trolley for the girlfriend i need to keep it reasonably cruisy to drive, i have my APRILIA ifn i wanna go stupid but is nice to have a car there to have some fun in too.

cheers oxford

wow, so are you suggesting that I could get around 200awkw for less than $1000 from here?

I do want to keep it safe so the engine still lasts a long time so dont want to push the stock internals too far to the limits.

Still, this would be a great upgrade for sometime in the future (maybe this time next year).

Gotta love the upgrade potential of turbo cars. :D

One thing I would assume with the above list is that because there is talk of increasing fuel pressure and making more power, there would also be a negative impact on fuel economy as a result. Something I'll need to weigh up if the opportunity to do these mods ever arises :)

With great power comes .....rising fuel bills

Didnt think you'll make more power by burning thin air alone did ya!! :laugh:

awesome results daniel, glad to see that you have the power fc all sorted out :laugh:

Not really no :)

Was just thinking aloud. I think with every mod planned there needs to be a reality check as well. It all depends where you want to go with the car...

I've reached my performance target so anything I do now will be about making it more comfortable. :laugh:

On the topic of fuel economy it actually still seems to be sitting around 12.5L/100km (city driving) which is funny because my turbo silvia I had before (same speed, less kw, 500kg less) was doing 12L/100. Amazing how much more economical the newer RB25 NEO is - with a good tune of course. :(

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
