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.

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
