Car Friendly Turbo Leak, That's Right... Stupidest Shit Ever Come See!


Recommended Posts

OK, so you replaced this half gasket [i thought you'd installed it like that, but after re reading your post you bought the car like that] and fixed up the leak.

I'd try the Safc, but don't be surprised if it doesn't fix it, it is only a signal bender, and if the ecu is broken, it still won't send the right response. Unfortunately you will not find anything out without a tune, you need a baseline tune, you can't avoid it [i know you don't have the $$$, but I can't see any alternative]. Your also in a hole, you've done some mods, but haven't finished them, the mods you have done are only half way towards the set up you need for an efficient motor with power.

Hmm, I see. Well, these are NOT my mods. The car came this way. Thank you for clearing up a lot of my questions actually. Yeah, I will be able to tune the car SOON! Woohooo! Because I got some more money. But what do you mean I am half way there mate? Is there something else that I need to do?

school hoildays must be on? or he got kicked out of school 4 being 2 dumb

WHAT'S SCHOOL????

Lol dude, honestly, it's over that already. I got your attention that's all I wanted.

so you're an attention whore..

Well, yes, I guess that would be what I am. Considering I needed the attention to get help. Just like everyone on this forum. :sick:

I thought pics would make the whole process a bit easier for you.

Thanks, that really helps me out a lot. I will take that into account mate.

    • 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
