Sorry I haven't got back to you Nismo_R33 been sick and I only got the Internet at work.

I got my Unichip installed at another place, I only got my car tunned at Autotech. Off the top of my head I can't remember how much it was.

Don't know if he tunes SAFC. You might have to give him a call and enquire.

I finally got round to getting my Skyline on the dyno at Autotech. It confirmed that it was quite a bit down on power (around 20-30 KW compared to similar skylines). They said it probably was the exhaust, so I have had a complete 3" system from the turbo fitted. Failing that they said it could be the airflow meter or the camshaft advancing mechanism? I believe it is still down on power from what it should be, even after fitting the new exhaust. Where can you buy airflow meters for the GST25ts? Also waht is the camshaft advancing mechanism. I will get it back on the dyno asap to confirm that something is still crook.

My skyline is only 60k kms old so I am a bit annoyed something like this is wronb with it, but thats cars for you. Any ideas appreciated.

Well my problem has been solved. Thank heavens. To start the process of elimination I fitted a new 3" exhuast. There was some improvement. I then reset the computer, and the car was immediately transformed. Had it dynoed again yesterday and it compared favourably with another Skyline with similar mods (exhaust only). It is now getting around 130kw at the rear wheels. I can only assume that the cat was faulty or the muffler was too restrictive. Still does not compare in performance to the silvia though.

      @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.

      Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.

      @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.

      @Darrel It's so tempting to say e85 is borderline magic. It cools the intake charge, so if you're flirting with the edge of the turbos compressor map it helps dramatically cool down the hot air the turbos are pumping. It is very resistant to detonation so you can crank the timing, I don't really want to say you won't be knock limited anymore.... but you probably wont be knock limited anymore lol. I wouldn't be surprised if you made 20% more power swapping to e85 (provided you have the fuel system to support them, bigger injectors maybe bigger pump etc).
