Just got back from the workshop. Trouble looming. Council tied up his afyternoon sprouting by laws and regs re noise (I told yall it was farkin loud)

just about done all the low and midrange tuning, I have never seen anybody so meticulous. Hes dropping the car off shortly, then It goes back monday when the animal will be unleashed. Very sedate 300rwhp at 8lb atm. Found an extra 50 hp just playing with the inlet cam. The idle sounds off the planet. Mick asked me if i wanted it smoother as he would alter thye cams to suit, i told him if he touched it i would kill him, twice, it sounds farkin haaaaaawwwwwwt!!!!

For those wondering why this is taking as long as it is its really simple. When i questioned the magic man re the time frame he told me straight up. If you want a tune like 90% of tunes going around atm then fine, I'll do it and you can have the car in a couple of hours. But what you will get for your money is a large hp number and a car rich as all shit to keep it safe, If you want the tune to unlock the potential of the build then Farkorf and let me tune it in my own way and my own time....I farked orf. :)

I understand the time required for a decent tune, but wow. Is Mick working on your car in between other jobs or just taking a farking long time on yours alone. I'd be scared to see your bill for the tune....you'd want some serious power/response!

the thing now pulls harder with the current 300hp than it did with the previous 340hp on the run in tune. and oh my son of rajab, that camy lumpy idle is just sooooooo porn :ninja:

rofl, I'm with you Matt. If he was seriously spending all that time on mine alone i would want a veyron at the end of it.

Due to illness and some other issues he has only spent 3/4 hours on mine. Patience grasshopper, it will be worth the wait.

man i am so unlucky i was at ipswitch like 1 -2 hrs ago...and i missed yah...bugger.

sounds like it is going to haul arse on 1 bar...cant wait to see it on 1.5 bar.....mmmmmm..

noel's busy as a mofo so i'll update you guys

it aint making anymore power than 440bhp, dont matter what boost, 18psi, or even 23psi. we think the cats collapsed.

also its now not holding boost, it's spiking. but i believe thats because the exhaust gases rnt escaping quick enough (collapsed cat) and the gases are backing up against the wastegate, forcing it closed and then increasing the boost.

he's also had to change fuel rail (got my tomei rail on there now) because the injectors werent sealing to the rail and had to change boost controller (now running blitz spec s) as it wouldnt allow any adjustment over the 9psi wastegate spring

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
