Ahh ok that looked nice, yeh it was just in there for its run in tune....freshly rebuilt engie, within the next month we are doin the full power tune when its run in.

That's the one I'm selling. My real GTR is waiting on new HKS turbos from Nengun. What are you expecting/hoping to get at the wheels?

Sinistagtst, I had a quick look at your 33 last Sat'. It looks like it has all the required 'goodies' in the engine bay. Is it a GT3540? And what cams are you running?

  • 3 weeks later...

bah ! :(

get to boostworx today, car engine hot as *%#@ coolant leaking out, temp guage sky high and smoke from engine.

Lol; busted radiator, right on time, replacing with thicker item.

take off turbo and manifold and the manifold drops into 2 pieces, was split in two. only done 100km since I last had the car here as I knew it was sick. Lol; replacing with a standard unit as I reckon a cheap stainless steel jobby isnt worth while.

expensive day, looks like shell cost me a grand all up.

pressure test radiator, shagged, get replacement thicker item, fit, flus and fill, take off pipework, manifold splits in two, get replacement same item, drill out and replace all exhaust studs, fit new manifold gasget, replace etc etc, install (perhaps, time permitting) adjustable exhaust cam gear pulley, drop front driveshaft and tune safc / sitc for the Slide highflow turbo.

Im awaiting for another phone call from Shaun, lol, you never know.

better be reliable after this, Im broke !

new battery for the bike today (advertiser tomorrow, $7700), doctors and painkiller script, mates up for dinner (chinese & carton bourbs)

very expensive day, lol. damned 'lucky' so to speak I didnt pay the mortgage this month

Tehehehehe :(:laugh:

im not that happy... i went in for a tune because i had quite large knock readings.... had it tuned it was ok for about 4weeks but now it is back to the same way it was when i took it in.....

U running the same fuel? from when u tuned it to now?? octane boost FTW!

yep everything is the same. and now i have the same knock back again :P And i dont kno what to do bout it??? would you ring him and talk to him bout it? or is it just bad luck? cos they do sound like nice people down ther

Sometimes it can be bad fuel that was put in your tank, as though this happened to us..We always use bp 98 and it starting knockn high again, so we adjusted the timing on the power fc..if u got one you could just so that, otherwise, just give them a bell and let him know, he might b able to lead u in the right direction b4 you being to feel disapointed.

Take it back because some thing is obviously not quite right with it.

Once its tuned its tuned, unless you manually select to initialize the powerfc it shouldn't start knocking.

Another place to look is dodgy knock sensors, bad crank angle sensor or excessive blowby that is causing the knock.

There's obviously something up with the car. Get it back on the dyno to see whats wrong with it.

IF its just a bit of high knock when loading it up in a high gear at low rpm this is because its near impossible to simulate road conditions on the dyno.

LOL Tangles.. Always the way. Mind you thats some pretty bad luck. Cast manifold splitting in two?!?!?! :S

lol

yeah I'll see it abit later today hopefully, not sure exactly on the end result, but by the sounds of it either way the manifold is SHAGGED, split, kaput. just replacing with a stnd one, but still there goes some wasted ca$h hey

Ok im new to this so plz dont call me dumb (actully go on u kno u want to) is it ok to get a knock say in forth gear doing 60 when u say accelerate hardish up to lik 80?
What sort of knock levels are you getting on the hand controller? or is it audible?

:blink:

That depends if its always done it or was fine for 4weeks after it was tuned like you said a few posts up.

IF it was fine then all of a sudden it has started knocking again then no its not fine some thing is up with the car.

IF its done it since its been tuned then also.. no its not fine, but its just a slight tuning issue.

Take it back for a touch up as its difficult to simulate all road load conditions on a dyno. Tell Shaun what road speed and gear its doing it at and he will fix it up.

Its no big deal, just give him a buzz and let him know whats going on. But do make sure you make mention that it was fine for the first month or so and has started knocking and explain the conditions of when it knocks.

Regarding high knock... I'd be concerned with anything over 45ish. Occasionally you might get the odd little spike to 40 odd but thats nothing to worry about. If its always hitting over 45ish then all that is required is a degree from one or two of the load/rpm points.

I've been going to Shaun for ages and he is the best!

I've had many different types of cars and been to many different places but he is still by far the best!

I wouldn't go anywere else!

I wouldn't go anywere else!

yeah, I wont be.

very happy with there level of service.

ended up being a $800 experience, exhaust manifold was definately snapped clean in half, quite a site.

replaced with stock, and a stockish radiator. new exhaust studs, redid all the intercooler piping (they asked who did it, dodgy me lol!) for me, tuned.

the rear muffler is hugely restrictive (sooooo quiet), was going to replace over xmas but didnt so now I will get a higher flowing item when possible, and have the adj.exhaust cam wheel installed, all tuned to 16psi. would expect around 210+ rwkw then. but for now, it feels super responsive....... comes on boost so nicely, cant tell this is a 1900kg vehicle (full wet weight + me).

for cube's analization:

almost quick enough for a family wagon, but time to shop ebay; muffler lol :sorcerer:

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
