nice looking curve indeed. for me, i reckon with the track use you give it i wouldn't mind a little more fuel up top. shape of the afr is no problem though, as long as the power curve is good (which it is). the boost curve could be better though. something is not quite right with that.

drop of 2psi on the boost curve

ruler flat boost curve would be nice but not necessary IMO. A drop of 2psi simply means your turbo's not working quite so hard at high RPM and that's where things start to fly apart. It just means you can run 2psi more boost in the midrange!! :D

The boost curve is my fault. I haven't adjusted the actuator enough. I will fix that.

As for more boost. I didn't try it but I doubt the turbo has much left in it so I didn't think to bother giving it a go.

Very nice curve Adam! I think this may have just swayed me to take my car to Unigroup when I get my tuned done. I'm was still deciding between them, Hitman or Powertune.

Do you mind listing what mods you have done to the car?

Rebuilt engine with Wiseco forged pistons and Tomei Type B, 260/260 Poncams. Running 8:75:1 compression ratio.

Blitz LM intercooler

Apexi pod (only because the stock airbox is such a pain to remove and refit all the time, the stock one was no restriction)

Nismo 480cc injectors at an occasional 100%

R34 GTR fuel pump and regulator

GCG highflow turbo

CES split dump/front pipe

Fujitsubo cat back (quiet one)

3" cat in since compliance

Apexi AVC-R

PFC

That's the power mods.

As far as Unigroup are concerned. They really involved me in the process which I liked. Of course you can drop you car off and pick it up 3 days later running perfectly but I like to fiddle and I like to learn. Yavuz (if i spelled his name right) is definitely a perfectionist but he doesn't think you will take his job if he teaches you something. He keeps no secrets.

Excellent, thanks! :D

Hmm I was thinking of going 260 poncams as well but if you're hitting 100% at 272kw I think I should stick to 250 because I've only got 440cc injectors. Thanks for the reminder, I think its just saved me quite abit of money. :D

i'm not sure I can see this direct correlation between cam duration, and injector duty cycle? injector duty cycle is controlled by one thing only. the numbers inputted into the CPU. the size of injectors required is controlled by one relationship only. the amount of air you are stuffing into the engine, vs the air fuel ratio you want to maintain.

lol, so you didn't cave when he told you to wind up the boost some more?

It's times like this i regret getting rid of my highflow and sticking the hks manifold and t300s on. So much work, so little gain....but I still have 2 more rwkw!

hi there just wondering how much did it cost?

cheers

They certainly know their stuff. I really enjoyed this one. I learnt a lot and the car is putting out a little more power, very safely, with nice smooth AFR's.

    • Spotted in Adelaide last week.... mine! New to me two weeks ago.. love it!
    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
