Hi all,

I'm new to the forum.

I'm based in Sydney. Some of you may know me from the JDM Style Tuning forum, which my company is a sponsor of.

I've been involved in many forms of motorsport including Formula Ford, Porsche club racing, Australian touring cars and endurance racing. I've spent quite a bit of time in Japan and the US West Coast, particularly the SEMA show, and have spent quite a bit of time round Laguna Seca in northern California.

What I Do For Work

Workwise I run a parts company in Sydney called The Tuners Group.

Some of you may have seen our promo girls at various events ... :3some:

We're the official exclusive Australian distributors for Works Bell (the makers of the world's finest steering wheel quick releases - and sponsors of Toshiki Yoshioka's AE86 & Team Orange), so any of you who are involved in Drift Australia may already know me.

We're currently giving away a FREE Works Bell Rapfix II Quick Release and Works Bell Original Steering Wheel to celebrate our appointment as Works Bell's Official Exclusive Australian Distributor :D Details are here ...

We're also the official Australian distributors for the Forced Ignition anti-carjacking immobiliser systems, and an authorised supplier for AEM and HRE Wheels.

Project Cars

I've been building project cars since about 1990.

This is a pretty wild recent project car we've had a bit to do with - built by a close family friend which has just had a photoshoot done for one of the major Australian automotive magazines ...

It's built on a '71 911 shell with a completely custom supercharger setup. It regularly outruns GT3's and 911 turbos at Porsche Club events here.

Lap times are ...

Eastern Creek: 1 min 44s

Oran South: 48 secs

Oran GP: 1 min 17 secs

Wakefield: 1 min 06 secs.

The dyno chart tells the story - it's very very linear ...

The weight of the car with a full fuel tank, no passenger seat and no spare wheel is 1124 kg

Videos of it are here ...

Full info on the car here ...

It's an absolute weapon :D

We haven't built a Skyline yet, so part of my reason for joining this forum is to learn as much about Skylines as possible.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂

      Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?

      Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
