At the RPM Lounge Dyno-day my car only got 159kw's so I have booked it into Boost-worx for a tune and also to find why it isnt boosting as much as it should (AVCR set to 1.1 bar and only got .69 bar :) ). So if any1 buys it befoer then ill pay for the tune which is booked for the 12th of April. :P

Somebody buy this car! as you can see, the only reason why it made such low power is because lack of boost. I would buy it but it's a little out of my price range.

Interior shots as requested, quality is really crap because I couldn't find my cameras USB cable so I took them on my phone. If someone is serious about buying the car they will come have a look anyway.

Free bump for a nice 4dr, quick question were the side skirts on the car when you bought it? If not can you tell me where you bought em?

Thanks mate, they were already on it, the rear bar and the skirts are IMPUL i think they are pretty rare because I havnt seen them on another car in Adelaide.

Is this still for sale? Try the trader, a car like this should sell pretty quick in there.

Your wastegate spring is probably set to 10 psi or so and isn't letting the boost controller do it job, you might need a heavier spring to get more power.

Cant really be bothered with the trader, im not in a huge hurry to sell Sook and I would rather it go to a SAU forum user so I can find out how shes doing after I sell her. As for the wastegate, im not sure whats causeing it but boost worx are going to fix it on Thurs. I was devo when it only made 160 :D

can you tell me what mods you have fitted yourself and what mods in any were on it when you got it

also wastegate brand?

more info on the turbo one of your mates told me it was a blitz and come on at 4,000rpm?

All the mods were on the car when I brought, unsure of the wastegate brand but I can get them to have a look when its at boostworx's. The turbo is a Garret but I dont know what size it is because I was told its a TD-04 but Garret only made a TD-04 for Mitsubishi or sumthin, comes on about 4.5k.

Anythin else just ask :w00t:

was the boost issue fixed today?

still keen to come have a look guys meant to be buying my car tommorow

Hey mate, yeh it was supposed to be fixed yesterday but Boostworx have been flat out so it should be done sometime this afternoon im jsut waiting for the call to go pick it up and ill post deatils of what they did and new power output. Im free all this weekend if you wanna come have a look, after that im in melb from monday till thurs.

Cheers

Just picked it up from Boost Worx and it had a heap of small boost leaks that were fixed, only made 167 atw but Shaun said that the exhaust is restricting it and it isnt boosting enough. Its set to 1 bar but it will only get to about .7 bar. I have a piece of straight through pipe that can replace the CAT so i will try that in a couple of weeks when I get time, if it hasnt sold by then.

Its also boosting alot quicker 3.5 to 4k now and its nice and smooth through the revs.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
