i have notice one more thing with the car the idle is very high sits at about 900 to 1000 rpm, i tried to reset it to a lower figure but it still sits up at 900 to 1000 rpm could this be a connected problem?

Im only new to the scene and dont know too much, I have an r32 GTR, it also idles high, it is caused from a air leak in one of the vacum lines, so I would check them all carefully first. If you have the stock cat in it, you should be able to get 10-20 rwkw from fitting a high flow metal cat. I had the same problem in my GTR, when I got it and had it tuned, it really died off up top, I changed the cat and it made a huge difference, 15awkw. Yours is a rwd so might make abit more if you change it but you'll still fall short of 300rwkw, How good is the tuner you took it to? A mate of mine took his r33 to a tuner and got 213awkw@21 pound boost, he wasn't happy with the result, I took him to the boys at CRD (Croyden Racing development) they charge abit but do a fantastic job, they got him 260awkw on the same boost. The car was a jet when it left there. So tuning has alot to do with it. I would say do your research and find a good tuner, good luck!!

Skyhy,

I recently had mine tuned up and came across the same funny little dips. As we wound the boost up those dips got much worse and killed power.

Another thing noted was as the dips got worse a lot of unburnt fuel was floating around which instantly made me start thinking ignition.

At the same time the clutch began slipping 'slightly' which later got much worse.

I now have a good clutch in the car its amazing how more power wasn't getting to the back wheels.

I've got a few things that are to be sorted.

1. 450x280x90 FMIC with 2.25" inlet outlets.. Tad on the small side for the power So decent fmic

2. Spark plugs came out looking a tad hot. So NGK 7's in they go

3. I've been told to try NGK R5671A-7 as they position the spark in a slightly different position which prevents the spark being blown out. Apparently.

Fingers crossed the little dips disappear. :)

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
