Sorry Guys . If I knew it was going to cause all this I would've said nothing

I've always been interested in the local build up's and as you said anthony we are all skyline owners from newy.

I will probably never be able to tune as many cars as you have effie but i am trying to expand my knowledge of tuning as much as possible so I thought it might be cool to see this vehicle getting the numbers dialed in ..

I thought wrong

Hey i appreciate your interest Kyle...but where do we draw the line. Id like to see you and catch up but the less people at the workshop the better. Ive got dozen's of people/mates who want to come and watch but have told them id rather they don't come over. Come down when we race and pit with us etc..bit more excitement and more to see/watch.

in his defense though.. it does a get a bit how you doin when there are too many people hanging around.. its harder to tune a car when people are asking questions and stuff. It happens with me all the time as well. He is the owner of the car and its his choice.

I should be tuning my car on sunday or maybe tomorrow arvo.. you can come watch me if you like :)

yeah it is hard we had a $250,000 rod on the dyno with a 80k engine.... concentration, space and quiet when you need it are paramount to getting a good result. I prefer to keep bystanders on these type of jobs to a minimum (owner, tuner, engine dyno or engine builder only)

For general customers who are happy to have freinds watch thier car on the dyno... no dramas but now and again we do have closed tuning sessions also.

Had a few hours of tuning 1pm till 4pm got it all mapped up to 7000rpm. Took our time making sure all was perfect at each load cell tuned. Guilt-Toy did a stellar job tuning such a big car, his easy does it, cautious approach was excellent, no 'rip tear bust' here. We had Mark linked up to the laptop with his computer at his shop in QLD keeping an eye on things and helping out when it was needed.

We were having a little issue with oil leaking from the turbo drain flange not being tight or maybe not having a gasket fitted. As we were stepping up the RPM the leaking oil was getting worse so instead of having an oil fire we decided to pack it up.

Yeah it was a long day.. Lots of work was done to the car to prepare it for the Dyno. I was pretty fussy and was starting to annoy paul with some of the requests before i was ready to tune it. Everything got sorted out and we only had a few hours left to tune it.

This car is awesome. So tough its just amazing how good the engine is, you can tell that it was built by a true professional *cough paul Red R Racing cough* lol :domokun:

The gearbox took a bit to get used too, I connected Mark @ Godzilla Motorsport to have a look at the map and give it a once over before going over 4000rpm and we had a couple of things that needed to be changed, after Mark was happy with the setup it was smooth sailing all the way.. There was only a couple of videos taken because Paul was too busy making sure the turbo drain was not leaking, just as we were ready to start power runs it was decided to stop and fix the issue before taking the revs up anymore.

Here are some pics, and Videos

    • 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.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
