also the figures different dynos give can be different.

your guys dyno could be reading high thats why alot of the guys who came to the vic sdu dyno day said thier cars were making 180-190 rwkw on this dyno then they come to our dyno day and only make 140-150.

if the sydney guys have a dyno day then you can compare.

also the air /fuel ratios are important.

ask yourmechanic if he has a reading.

any dyno operator can have your reading 500kw@wheels if they wanted to! i think when u got your car dynoed the first time they bull****ted u man!!

especially with stock comp and rich a/f ratios its impossible!

A guy with a r33 brought his dyno chart to the last melbourne dyno day, after he got his unichip done saying 194kw@wheels. but when he got it dynoed at the day he got 155kw@wheels!

:uh-huh:

Yes my so called Unichip tune wasn't actually that in tune was it, however he will be fixing it this Sat, and if he can't for some reason then I'll get my money back. So I might be back to check up on his work.

what did the guy have to say when u showed him the graph from the SAU dyno day? did u ask him where your extra 40rwkw's had gone?

As I don't live in Melb I haven't shown him yet, he assured me that there's no way he would have left the A/F ratio at 10:1, so believe me come Sat I'll be sticking around watching his every move making sure he gets it right this time.

y dont u get a s-afc or power fc instead of the unichip?

S-AFC - Only intercepts & allows fuel map changes, it doesn't do timing as per the PFC or UC.

Power FC - Costly even @ $1200 for the Power FC add ~$400 for tuning, compare this to a Unichip $1100 fitted & tuned (this is what I paid). Without a doubt the PFC is the better option as reflected by the higher price.

Unichip - IF, & it's a big IF! The UC is correctly installed & tuned then it WILL provide repeatable rwkw gains. My Unichip was able to provide tuning for over 215rwkw (this kind of figure was repeatable on more than one dyno) I also managed the 1/4 time in my sig' with the UC running the show. The power curve & A/FR's were both very smooth & consistent.

BUT...... It took a good tuner who was familiar with both the UC & the RB25DET to get the results! The original installer did a very poor effort @ tuning it. Even the best ECU isn't much good if it's poorly tuned.

Once you start aiming for over 220rwkw the UC "may" have trouble overcoming the stock ECU's AFM over voltage timing retard. This is the exact reason I decided to get the LT12 Microtech, however it "may" be possible to make 220+rwkw with the UC & get a decent power curve, I just wasn’t interested in stuffing around trying to find out!

I think people shouldn't take their dyno reading to personally. A dyno is to tune the car. I've seen some cars sive different reading on the same dyno's.

My one had about 160kw at the rear at Hills and 180kw on 4 wheels on croydon's dyno. :confused:

Yes as Whatisname said it all comes down to cost, I paid $500 for the Unichip and $300 for the so called tune! Now with the SAFC I'd still have to add an ITC to get the same tuning features as the Unichip, which would throw it way over the $800 mark. Now that I've got the Unichip I'll try and get it right, if I can't then sure I'd consider an SAFC, time will tell.

    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
