Set your expectations at about 110awkw just so you dont get disappointed if its not what you want. Remember that all dyno's will read differently from each other and also possibly different on any given day, as your car will run better some days than others. I had my car dyno'd at 157awkw on a ~35 degree day and I only have the standard S2/R34 SMIC so I'd argue that it would definitely get a better reading on a cold day. I can notice the difference after driving for say 20 minutes, ie. cooling issues. It always feels faster when its cold (ie. engine heated up to efficient running temperature but intercooler and intake temps still cold).

Tangles (and others), thanks for the compliments - I was just putting together most of the things I've picked up from this forum and my own (limited) experience with turbo nissans.

When my car was stock I got 13.5-14L/100km in town and 10.7L/100km on the highway. Now with significantly more power (had an exhaust manifold leak when I bought the car which gave it only 100awkw, compared to ~160awkw now), I'm getting 11.5-12L/100km in town and have seen 9L/100km on the highway (brisbane to goondiwindi, early morning). Thats a huge improvement in fuel economy AND performance which is a very nice achievement in my opinion. Mostly thanks to the exhaust for freeing up the engine and the bigger turbo for keeping it off boost in town. :blink:

I too have ~160awkw at 12psi, although as my sig states, at the top end of my dyno its actually only running 9psi (boost controller cant keep up) so if it had 12psi all the way through I could pick up maybe an extra 10awkw?

My wishlist for the car is a mile long and realistically none of it will probably happen. I have so many maintenance items now coming up that I need to pay for otherwise I wont be able to afford to even keep the car :) Things like new tires, brakes, possibly radius rod bushes, possibly front shocks and springs, and its due for an engine and transmission service...it all just creeps up on you. Its a lot of money that I would have happily spent on a FMIC and SITC (hello 180+awkw@14psi!!!) but we all know that part of owning a car is keeping up with all the boring stuff like servicing etc. :sick:

Hey Steve, did you make that ~160awkw with the standard S2 sidemount intercooler?

      Yet another clutch question

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Suppose in your part of the world, however here in Australia, the Xtreme Twin Plate Organic is still cheaper than any Nismo or ATS clutch.

      Getting back to the actual subject though the Xtreme twin plate I'm a little skeptical of. Higher clamp force + requires a pull to push clutch conversion. I'm not super sensitive to cost but the ATS clutch is 700 USD more and another 35% extra clamp force over the Nismo. With how weak the yen is the Xtreme organic twin plate is actually substantially more expensive than either the Nismo or ATS clutches as well, although I haven't priced everything out after shipping.

      R35 shift times are woeful, garbage gearbox. If you could ZF8HP that, then it would be better (probably nearly impossible)

      R34 GTT Manual Code 14 P0500 speed sensor circuit diagnosis help

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Most likely if the speedo works fine it's the driver circuit in the cluster that takes the VSS signal and converts it into a neater format for the ECU/HICAS/etc. Pull your gauge cluster out and clean the board with contact cleaner, all that fun stuff. Look for corrosion, signs of burned contacts, failed solder joints, etc.

      R34 GTT Manual Code 14 P0500 speed sensor circuit diagnosis help

      By Annex · Posted

      Hi guys, Driving along today, my engine light flicked on showing code 14 speed sensor circuit. It came on when i was cruising in 5th at 70kmh. No noticeable change in the driving experience, no slip light or anything else. Speedo works fine, the only thing that's different is my bulb in the bottom left of the dash has gone. So I know this is going to be a dumb question but the bulb couldn't possibly be throwing this code? Otherwise I have no clue where to start, apparently this code could be anything along the speed sensing circuit? So speed sensor and wiring back to the ECU etc. Is there a way to test the speed sensor to see if it's faulty? If anyone is able to point me in the right direction to start would appreciate it. Cheers
