Just a quick update Finally got some dyno time and got on top of some little issues with the car.

I was having some boost controll issues that were holding me back in getting the tuning done.

I originaly had the motec running the factory boost solinoid wich turned out not to be up to the job. Borrowed a boost controller of a mate that and thougt that would have sorted the problem but the solinoid in that boost controller ended up being stuffed as well.So put the good old trusty bleed valve on the car temporarily and problem solved.

Ended up getting a preliminary tune up in the car the map is still a little bit fat and still need to trim the maps up a little but will get this done once the new boost controller goes in the car as no doubt the the boost curve will change once this is fitted so will need to fine tune everything to get the best out of it.

We got the boost up to around 20/21 psi with a safe tune in it the car is making 557.9 all wheel HP at 7100RPM. The RPM limit will be around 8500/8800 RPM. we didn't push it any further on the dyno as the car was starting to squirm around on the rollers a little but as can be seen on the dyno sheet the power was still climbing so I would estimate that it is probably in the vicinity of 580/590 all wheel HP at max RPM.

Will hopefully get the new EBC fitted and get it back on the dyno towards the end of the week or over the weekend and get a bit more boost into it as the HKS turbos only seem to really come alive and get into their eficiency range at around the 25psi mark going from previous experiance with these turbos. so hopefully will get some slightly better results once this is all sorted and the maps have been cleaned up.

So glad to finally be seeing some light at the end of the tunnel :) . Will have another update with a few pics of some nice new suspension parts in the next day or so as well.

F'N awsome Darren! Mat might get the idea to run some boost now.

Yea mate matty is a bit ghey thou I will be in his ear to wind the wick up a bit. That way when his tuner blows the engine in the car up i'll get another engine buld LOL. I have started on his new engine so now I am getting somewhere with my car I will get stuck into finnishing it off for him.

Thanks for the comments guys I am looking forward to finnally getting a few laps in the car.

When are you going to be back up this way Richard will hopefully get a track day organized next time so yourself Mark, Russ, Myself and a few other tuff GTR's can all have a bit of fun.

Strik3r I will hopefully be getting to the track next tuesday for a shakedown will be taking it easy though just to make sure everthing is all good.

soon mate, I'll be in touch. :P looking forward to a little break up north soon and if things go well I'll bring the 32 to play with.

Strik3r do come and say g'day mate I think i saw your car but didn't get a chanvce to chat with you at not the last track day but the one before that. I was driving the grey R32GTR rego 26R32. Will look forward to having a chat.

Nice to here mate give me a bit of notice to check out available track days. Morgan Park would be a bit of fun!.

Just a few pics of the RUZIC engineering EM PRO2 installed and some nice new suspension bits. Looking forward to giving it a bit of a shake down on tuesday will be taking it nice and easy though just want to make sure everthing is all good and keep the standard gearbox alive untill my carbon shaft arrives and i can stick the Getrag box in.

Thanks mate come and say hi. Will only be taking it easy just a shake down but should be fun anyway.

Yeah will do, i bought a rb26 inlet setup from you about 18 months ago. I will be taking it pretty easy myself having only done one track day before and ive changed a fair bit since then so ill have to feel it out a bit

how good are the ikeya front LCAs dazzmo? they are THE front LCAs to get. a much better design over others that just mirror the factory ones. and how farken huge are the castor rods. they never look big in pics but in your hand they are about 1.5 times the diameter of most aftermarket ones, and the way they mount into the LCA is so much better. you'll love them. :P

Hey Richard the ikea stuff is definatley the go well worth the extra coin and as you said the lca castor rod combo is definatley the best on the market. Have fitted all the arms now and what a difference they make a bit harsh on a average road but awsome on the smooth stuff and turn is is a massive improvement. Lucky for me I got a good deal on all the suspension gear as it is generally pretty exy but one of the best bang for buck mods you can get for a track car as far as lap times go.

Will be good to catch up again for a chat tommorow Paul just hoping we get a dry line on the track even better if the rain clears up for us but it is not looking like it. At least for me I am just treating it as a test session as I wont be trying to set a lap time or anything. Will only have 7000rpm to play with as am trying to sort out a ref sync issue with the ecu at higher rpm.

Angus I am putting a Getrag 6 speed in the car just standard gear set as this should be more than up to the job. Just waiting on a carbon tail shaft to turn up (not an ACPT after the debacle from the last group buy) I have sorced it from another company in the states. Nearly all the tuff R34GTR's in japan either run a stnd Getrag or a Holinger so should be able to handle the power without any problem.

Nice! i have a 34 Getrag in my 32 and i love it!! you wont be disappointed i somehow scored a nismo imput shaft with mine (tho finding a clutch was a pain) i'm going for fairly big power when i get it back on the road, 450kwatw + i hope. i herd that the weak link is the synchro's, which i've gotten in contact with someone in the States for aftermarket synchro's, if i was to ever go down that route. (obviously you know its the same box for the supra)

I still have my acpt shaft here.. hopefully it fits when the time comes! what a shit fight that was to organize...

cant wait to get it all together d day is approaching!! thanks for keeping me inspired!!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • 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.
