hey man nah havent lowered it :s ..i thought it looked like it tho in the pics

made 101kw :s thought id atleast get 110kw..i duno tho...i havent had 100k service done n im well past due for it..117k

but yeaa :s i needa get a CAI happening, cause i just have a pod in a box atm.

whats mods you got 123kw fair amount for a n/a.

yeahhh autoo lol

Is that all? just a pod no exhaust? If so 101 probably isn't too bad..pretty sure they make around 91 stock standard... oh and i'd be getting that 100k service done...a busted timing belt can be pretty nasty, prevention is better than cure, unless you want an excuse to do a rebuild :P

101 is good man its just that mines manual i think gets a bit more power to the wheels

i just had a pod in no box or anything (lazy) and catback exhaust

pods off now though got defected for it not being secured properly

Yeah when i first dynoed mine it was running like shit, spark plugs/coilpacks on their way out and being an auto it only pulled like 95rwkw lol

havent dynoed it since but i expect it to be much better :ermm:

ey i got pod in a box, extractors and 2.5 inch exhaustt with cannon on the back

hopefully once i get 100k service done it might run like it should which im hoping is better, what sort of parts could be affecting its actual performance, anyone know what price range is on a 100k service?

Have a grand ready for the 100k service. They replace the water pump, timing belt, and the other usual stuff. It's the labour involved in such a service. Still though, the cost of a 100k service is nothing compared to that of a snapped belt resulting in anything from bent valves and other expensive engine repair.

When I bought my R34 I was told that the timing belt had been replaced already. I didn't take the chance, got it changed, and sure enough it was the original very worn factory timing belt. Make sure you get the idler and tensioner pulleys as well as seals.

Anything can affect the performance really, from spark plugs, to coil packs, the fuel used, the cat could be holding it back due to age, air filter might need cleaning...a lot of variables really.

What fuel do you use?

Also keep in mind not all Dyno's will report the same. I've known of some cars to read out anywhere from 10-20kw different between dynos. You should always use the same Dyno when measuring performance between modifications if you're wanting to see the comparison.

nathan is spot on there, had the 100,000 done on my 33, cost just over a grand. water pump replacement is optional fyi, i opted to get it done thoe as they tend to show their age as they approach the 100,000 mark. well worth it.

get nissan to put their full synthetic oil in it too, unless you wanna use your own. apparently its good, costs $40 for 5L (got a quote today)

I try to time my services with major upgrades =] My last service coincided with my conversion, works out bit more worthwhile then.

Check out some of the sponsors, I know there's some that do the 100k service drive-in-drive-out quoted parts supplied. I done mine when I was still relatively new to Queensland and ended up getting a mechanic referred to by work mates to do mine. Got my timing belt kit from CRD (Croydon Racing Developments). My mechanic said my water pump still looked good till probably 150-180,000 kms at which point I'd might as well do the timing belt again. By the time I get to that sort of mileage (I've done under 10,000 in the last year) I'll be ready to take performance to another level and do a rebuild anyways, so I didn't worry about the water pump at that stage particularly when cash flow for me wasn't at its best.

If you're looking to get adjustable cam gears, that's a good time to do it since the cam cover and belt is off and they're changing the seals. I wish I'd tried to squeeze in an adjustable exhaust cam gear back then, would have allowed for a bit more fine tuning.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
