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

Thanks again Guilt-Toy...Both Mark and I were impressed with your work...well done.

How much does it sound like a jet in the vid's?

Thanks.. it has been great working with Mr Godzilla himself.. Was a good day :domokun:

Sounded even more like a jet in real life... I sooo want one of these turbo's!!

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
