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.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
