How/why would other shops make a fuss if you play with timing at a dyno day ??? that's horsesh*t!

I could've got around 230hp and a much nicer power curve with my cas-bashing i reckon! the difference was AMAZING!

I need to get dump/front pipe, hiflow cat, safc tuned, pod partition....

hey memphis, let me know how you go with the dump pipe difference!

ps. how long did it take for your old spoiler to be cut'n'shut for the gt wing ?

hmmm, guy had my car for like...1 week, painted my rims n refitted the skirts, then it took an extra 2 weeks (due to problems)

Definatly worth the wait though!

Cost me $700 all up with the rims, skirt refitting and the boot. We also did the skyline badge at the back so it illuminates at night.

Gavs GTR made 318 before and made 343 in shootout but was running more boost than before so very close 25HP at higher boost in a GTR would be right. ( we will try Gavs car out of shootout mode soon).We tryed shootout and the old way and a S15 made 271 with out shootout 274 with it we tryed

a few runs in each mode to make sure .Most WA shops have this

package now so ask for it when testing your car.

    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
