According to Mine's the engine was not bored for bigger pistons to preserve the reaction,which was posted on youtube. and it showed to be true,the rpm was revved up from 4rpm to 8.5rpm in mere miliseconds. but contradicting this are those stroker kits offered by HKS(2.7L) and Apexi(2.7 or 2.9L) kits and also the RB30DETT offered by tomei(Which needs the engine to be bored to fit in bigger pistons). which i think is also awesome cos i had a chance to sit in a 2.9L R34 GTR tuned by a well known local tuner. i felt that the response was not as i thought it would be. and the lag was there,but after 2 seconds everything kicked in and it blew me away. even with the power that these stroker kits offered,i was more concerned about the reaction of the engine. this comes in when taking in corners and i wouldn't want to have the stroker kit mess the traction jus because it stroker kit didn't respond quick enough.

So my main doubt is,wat are your comments on this subject? once the decision to bore the engine,there's no turning back,but in return more power but less response. :O

what other factors are you referrin to?

regarding the other parts of the car,most of it has been changed,

ECU : Power FC

Camshaft: Tomei

Cam pulley: Tomei

Fuel injectors: 800cc SARD

Hks timing belt

Fuel pump: 265L

Hks front pipe

Hks gt intercooler

trust oil cooler kit.

Hks evc 4

Hks intercooler piping

Tein monoflex with edfc

koyo radiator

sard radator hose

considering this are all external items,when it comes to pistons,crank shaft and crank pulleys,i would want something that delays the response as to me beating other cars on the strait road jus based on the horsepower,is something anybody can do. having an overall balance on the car is my aim.

bore size has very little to do with it (only a difference of 1.5mm maximum, and pistons prolly lighter if forged anyway)

it's the stroke, reciprocating weight and component balancing that makes all the difference to an engines eagerness to rev

thanks man. i'll look into these things and research more into the developement of the engine.

anyway,do you know how i can get to Hi-Torque Performance in melbourne? or are there any other places you would like to recommend?

Boring a block doesn't noticeably increase lag at all.

Your talking a poofteenth of space dude.

Boring a block is generally to get out imperfections when doing a rebuild due to a failure or otherwise (and hence why you are rebuilding).

Lag/response etc has far more to do with the turbo selection/tune and various other things

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
