Hey quick question do all turbo skyline come with a factor boost gauge built in with the rpm dash gauge or whatever it is?

yes, r33= under rpm

r32, around the temp gauge

r34, centre console

Hey quick question do all turbo skyline come with a factor boost gauge built in with the rpm dash gauge or whatever it is?

All turbo skylines come with a "Bar" boost gauge located in the speedo cluster (r33) and in located in the centre dash on most R34's.

Personally i like to read PSI, thus the installtion of an additional boost gauge capable of reading psi is favourable.

Let me know if you need a hand installing one, more than happy to help :thanks:

I think that everyone needs to calm down a lil and take ten deep breaths.

Not everyone is perfect with there records or information about things.

Yes i do agree the sr- rb -gtr debate has gone to far, and yes this is really only ment to be a sunshine coast thread,so can we please keep it that way and stope sticking sharp fkn bees up peoples bonnets.. the biggest man always walks away no matter how tall they stand.

Dynamix done anything to your gtr latley? Havent seen you on here much.

I'm calm, when you're angry you lose focus... ;) Uhm i'm always lurking but don't post much these days. As for the car... i've just put some HSD HR coilovers in with custom spring rates.. brake upgrade is comming tommorrow, 297 to 343mm two piece dba5000 series rotor's, ferodo 2500 pads, caliper spacer and some motul fluid.. i'll be putting those on the moment they arrive.. got a power fc waiting to go in when i can be bothered to organise a tune, ordering a carbon fibre bonnet next week, painting the rocker covers/cam cover in wrinkle finish red in a few days, ordering a whiteline handling package soon too, also doing an rb30de bottom end conversion in a 2 months with a GT40 hanging of the 26 head, should get me an easy 550 - 600hp @ wheels..

So there's a few things happening with it at the moment... we'll have to organise a meet up some time, i haven't even meet half the people in here! :)

Hey thanks SunnyCoast yeah i will proberly need a hand once i get my boost gauge and turbo timer (any recomendations on a turbo timer) Also where would be the best spot to mount the boost gauge, taken into consideration the police and them defecting me, as well as keeping the interior neat with no wires.

all this kw talk makes my head dizzy.

i'll give all ya'karnts a go with 100kw

NA Auto powah!!!! ;)

neva planned on becomin world leader, but out of curiosity what does a world leader drive? airforce one? i dont think its a 4 wheeled bike :)

u dont need 4 wheel's, u only need two :)

Children for sale!

lolz

Hey thanks SunnyCoast yeah i will probably need a hand once i get my boost gauge and turbo timer (any recommendations on a turbo timer) Also where would be the best spot to mount the boost gauge, taken into consideration the police and them defecting me, as well as keeping the interior neat with no wires.

Rabbit,

I would recommend you go toAutobahn and pick up a Trust/Greddy turbo timer on special for $99 (usually $149) - I have had to of these turbo timers and they are great. Check out the link below to learn more about them:

Greddy Turbo Timer - Website

Some of the main features that I like consist of - Digital Speed Display, 0-100 times, Timer, Countdown Timer, Racing timer, Max Speed Display, Voltage Current Display - Also has an Automatic timing function that determines how long your car needs to run down for before it will turn off.

I can install this for you if you want - Save you having to pay somone. Just wacked one into my R34 on the weekend - Very simple job.

Last time i installed one into an r33 was my one (before I sold it)...probably around 1 year ago....

As far as a boost gauge go's, we could try and find somewhere to mount it, R33Cruiser and I usually find some neat places to mount gauges. If stealth mounting is something your after, we are more then capable of helping ya out with this ;)

Hope the above helps. - I'd seriously look at getting that Turbo Timer whilst its on special (go to Autobahn Kawana and ask for "Cameron" or "James" and tell them Christian sent you in to get one of the Trust turbo timers while they are on sale. If there arent any left on the shelf, ask them to order you one in at the $99 price (if you have any problems, just let me know and i will ring them for you :) )

... No one can beat that price, well maybe Nengun - but then you pay for postage and its cost's more, and takes time to get here from japan.

Hit me back.....

That sounds like a bloody sweet turbo timer! haha. i think i might go get one if i can get there..hmm might today. yo also sunny let me know when ur goin out for a cruise, if ya dont mind ill tag along.

125hp shot of nos

willowbank raceway. $36. long sleeve shirt & pants & an approved helmet

city, touring the pubs ;)

Do you have to provide your own helmet or do they have ones u can 'rent' out? also what would classify as a non approved helmet?

Yeah, try and get your hands on one asap whilst they are cheap.

More than happy to have you out ;)

Chris

been to autobarn and back, already out of stock, they get them back in stock hopefully tomorrow

Good news!!!!...Rabbit, i'd get yourself over there aroun 4pm tomorrow (which is after they get thier shipment in)....

Ryda - You looking to get one?

Chris

Dou you have a problem with yours counting up excessively all the time? If i drive on the highway it counts up to like 9 minutes all the time

I remember when i drove from the Sunny Coast to the Goldy....1 hour something cool down time... lol....Just set the time to 30 seconds and adjust it if need be. I think its just something related to how your car feeds information back into the turbo timer...or perhaps Greddy werent that smart when they made them...

I believe highway driving sets it off because of the higher rpm you make when travelling on the highway.

Chris

Mate pure and simple, you're f**king moron. I haven't heard someone talk so much f**king bullshit in a long time, no wonder everyone is flaming you. You're the one comparing the SR vs RB, i'm replying. You say your GT-R rev'd to 9000rpm in whoretown, you're a lier, unless your motor was built, and it's no cheap exercise building a high reving rb26, then after building such a motor why would you go sell that car off, Idiot. Yes the quickest time for a factory GT-R is 12.8, if you searched for facts you'd have know this instead of talking dribble about the SR, which no one wants to hear, as others in this thread have already said aswell as me. When did the gt-r get a shitty 7500rpm rev limit? When nissan set it at that? Oh and seeing you're just a budle if information you wouldn't need me to tell you that the r33 and r34 gt-r have a 8000rpm rev limit.

Now here's a to do list for you.

a) pissoff to ns or boost cruising

b) stop posting dribble thats not true

c) stop posting in the sunny coast thread when you're from brissy

d) stop talking about the sr vs rb in this thread, this is for sunny coast people, go start another thread if you dare

e) grow up, you're acting like a child, as others have pointed it out

hmm who said my GTR was stock u noob do ur research before talking shit. now u gonna bring me the R33 GTST 25T specs..? my GTR did rev to 9k and i have half a dozen witnesses that say so. having the kakimoto ecu kinda helps fool. oh wait u prob didnt knw kakimoto did ecus..? ha cock

so please talk more shit cause sunshine coast stinks enough with u around

you supplied me with specs of 7500rpm on the R32 have alook fool

cool good to hear i am not the only one!

Good news!!!!...Rabbit, i'd get yourself over there aroun 4pm tomorrow (which is after they get thier shipment in)....

Chris

YEAH, thanks heaps i definatly will get one, got heaps of extra's exactly what i wanted, How long does it normally take to install? (Thanks for you help i will have to give you some money or swing you some drinks)

and in reguards to the boost gauge i need to put it some where that looks neat and is easly viable while drive but does not draw attention from the police not sure where i'm allowed to mount it

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
