Well I have had the PFC in for a couple of weeks now and am about to decide on where to get it tuned (I'm in WA). I have narrowed down the tuner to either Top Racing (it's close to where I live and it's a small tuning place which I guess might mean I will get a more personalised service from?) or X-Speed (which is a big tuning place that might have better facilities, but might be be a more get you in and get you out experience?).

What do people think I should go for?

Also I am only aiming for around 200rwkw at the moment (I have turbo back exhaust, EBC which will be running 11psi etc...) - obvioulsy my injectors are getting to 100% duty cycle and I should not need much more at around that power level, but would it be wise to upgrade my fuel pump or get an adjustable fuel regulator before the tune for safety? Would the adjustable fuel regulator allow me to squeeze a tiny bit more performance out of this setup? I don't care about the cost of the items but would it cost much to get either of these installed by a mechanic, ie is it a major job?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated :D

I just road tuned a mates r33 gtst after he just got his new PFC last weekend and it goes really well.. i am estimating around 195rwkw or so on 13psi which spikes to 14psi when its really cold.

the mods are

Front mount

Full turbo back exhaust

K&N panel filter

Apexi POWER FC

and some duel stage boost controller

stock injectors

stock fuel pump

I dont think it would have less then 195rwkw it goes great - should put it on the dyno soon to check i suppose

ohhh forgot to mention it gets up to 90% injector duty with stock injectors and stock pump.

So I guess I shouldn't need to worry about getting an adjustable fuel reg... It's just that I have already been seeing the injectors at 100% duty cycle on the PFC hand controller. Maybe this is just because it has not been properly tuned yet to make the most of the fuel being squited into the engine?

exactly. when i was doing this one - the stock maps was taking the tune down to 10 af ratios which is very very rich map standard so they will take fuel out of it and it will bring the mixture right which will also make more power.

So yeah the stock pfc map is set really trich - you need to get it cleaned up.

how big are the 34 gtt injectors? if they are the same as the r33 then 200rkw should be fine.

Cool...

So those with knowledge of WA tuners - should I go with Top Racing in Carlisle, or X-Speed??? :glare:

Between the 2 i'd go with X-Speed, get Ant there to tune it, speak to anyone in WA who's into performance tuning n Ant will be mentioned sumwhere. How much did either place quote u for the tune?

Expect round 195rwkw, dont be afraid to lean it out to extract more power & economy but watch the knocks. Noticed ur in Vic Pk, wonder if ive seen u round...

Yep you probably have seen me around Vic Park - it's a silver 4 door R34 :)

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
