Its weird, I'm worried it would leak because there is no o-ring, gasket etc behind the cover to seal it. But it mustnt be leaking as it feels as good as before but is running AFR's in the 10:1 range under full load. Take a bit of fuel out of it and might be on a winner :)

Not having issues with what sounded like surge at 100kmh-110kmh in 5th gear. Bit odd that the anti surge cover seemed to be causing surge there :S

Will keep everyone posted.....

Also: Photo DVD's are sitting in my car so if you want one I can meet you somewhere over the weekend or something

Great day at Palmyra today

Stoked with how my car went with the new front cover, and my quick hour touch up of the tune yesturday

13.028@110mph with a 2.06 60ft time

Last run:

13.889@110mph with a 1.8 60ft time. Missed a gear on this one, would have been in the 12's :(

question, anyone travelled between Rocky and mackay recently?

if so, how are the roads? last time i went up to mackay i went through countless roadworks on the highway, and many hours were spent removing tar from the side of my car. would prefer not to have to go through that again :down:

Start with the basics mate, Front mount intercooler, 3.5inch full exhaust system, electronic boost controller, ECU (Power FC is good for budget) and maybe a clutch upgrade. I would recommend not to go over 11 psi of boost on standard turbo as they will tend to blow and a general rule of thumb is your roughly allowed around 10% power increase on standard tune (e.g exhaust and intercooler upgrade) before you have to start looking at AFR's and re-mapping the computer. Depending on your budget you can can pick up all these parts cheaply second hand. What are your plans for the car? because if you going for over 300kw, i would just go for a RB26 transplant as they are one tuff engine and make more power easily.

I may have a power FC for sale soon......

I did all my supporting mods first (pretty much the stuff ben just said) then all I had to do was bolt on a turbo, get new injectors and a tune and was all ready to go

Some people like doing it all at once

No right or wrong way just depends on budget and time constraints

But as I said I may have a power fc and Z32 AFM for sale in the next 2 months

I can go one better Callan, lol

I've got a Powerfc, hand controller, nismo 555cc injectors already in a fuel rail for sale, right now :)

I'll even throw in a full tune for an extra $100.

Haha. You're welcome to PM me mate if you want any of this. I'd love to sell it as a package.

Just bare in mind a full Powerfc tune in Mackay Mackay is worth about $800+ and there aren't any shops around here that will do as good a job as me. I love these cars and take time and care. Not a rush job to get them charged and out of the workshop.

I got 2 RB30 blocks a turbo one and a non turbo block. Just need some RB26 heads, waiting for a rainy day to build a new engine for the R33 GTR but will be quite a few years before that happens. I got my new toy to play with now can't wait to play with my 350Z VQ35 engine the old RB's are boring the shit out of me at the moment.

When's our next cruise i have a car to drive now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the help,

At the moment from what I know. I know it has a full 3.5" full exhaust system, It has a ECB and it's running 10PSi on the boost at the moment. It has a front intercooler installed as well. It's also running semi sport slick tyres. (New as well). Budget is tight at the moment after just buying it. Bascially it's already a cop magent which is bad for me (I'll leave it at that eh?) It sounds extremley nice where it is, I'd like to get a little more out of it to begin with without going overboard. The things I've been looking at is a short shifter, new clutch, bigger brakes and a nice new type R Alpine full stereo system (Like my music).

The interior will be the last thing I touch. But just a little more oophm would be nice, not that it doesn't already have it. It's also having a new engine brace/strut being sent up from the previous owner as it's without one currently.

Awesome help so far guys!

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
