Well...

Fitted a new (well 2nd hand) turbo today to the stock S1 i got.

Fired it up and we still got smoke, so either this ones pucked to or the engine is...

Dosnt seem to have blow back, like took the oil cap off and nothing, yet blows smoke on idle and puffs it out when you drive it.

Gonna give it a compression test tommorow and then take it for a drive and see if it cleans up, there was alot of oil in the piping when the last turbo went so hoping its just all this coming through.

I am so pucking over this.

Well picked the Autech up from the transport depo on wednesday and it made the 200km trip home with no problems (bar the guard liners falling down because a certain panel beater didnt attach them).

Happy with everything mechanically, engine feels strong and sounds hot. The work the panel beater has done is pretty crappy. Over spray, orange peel, spots of dust under the paint, things not put back 2getha properly etc etc.

And then id like to know where the HKS coilovers it was supposed to have have gone...

havnt had a chance to get under it yet to check the rust out yet, can see some minor stuff.

It drives so nice, was everything i had hoped it would be (just not compliable). Cant wait to get it run and and tuned once its in its new home.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
