Dyno sheet, Baron. Dyno sheet.

coming soon. we have some from when it was tuned, but they use an old school bosch chassis dyno which must be measuring power in the german unit for mechanical perfection cause I have no idea how to read the thing. it's farken weird, it looks like it was plotted on special paper, like chart paper with one of those things like they have on lie detectors tests scribbling out some kind of graph!

eventually I'd like to see a nice agressive tune and some cam gear adjustment that would uleash the potential within. :D

That is the greatest thing I have heard all week.

I hope you thrash the crap out of it, that engine is just begging for it!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. Does anyone have towel? I may have soiled myself.

Awesome 32 Richard :P

As always thanks for another absorbing thread. Great to see you're taking the time to do the build right.

Love the simple and clean finish you've gone for. I'm a big fan of that style. BTW changing to 34 rims was a smart move, it looks sharp :happy:

I hope you get many km's of joy after all the effort & Yen :ermm:

Cheers

thanks guys, sadly for me I can't in all honesty afford to keep it too long so it will be up for sale soon. hence the reason why it hasn't really been driven in anger by anyone yet, saving that honour for whoever takes it off my hands. we even went to the trouble of getting the rev limit re-set to 3,000rpm before shipping to ensure no-one took it for some un-invited fun! I'm hoping when I do sell it that it will go to someone on the forum or someone I know so I know it's in a good home.

to give an idea of how well this car has been treated we even have two set of floor mats for it! a mint set for just sitting in it and another full set for driving. both genuine nissan mats.

I have a slightly more track oriented GTR with cage, harness, race seat and race suspension set-up and my new engine for it arrives in a week so my focus is back to that for the moment. don't worry though it will be every bit as nice as this one just a little different, but lots of the same parts and know how are going into it.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
