What area are you in? Its at a few places now, so if the skyline isn't your daily driver you'll be fine.

You're talking a 2.6L right? Mine maxed 1000's at 403rwkw but its an rb30 - capacity makes a difference.

I'm near blacktown... as far as I know the closest one is at richmond

and I dont have a 2nd car so the skyline is the daily... even though it doesnt get driven everyday

I see that stated a lot but can't understand why! Can you explain why would engine capacity makes a difference?

Because bigger capacity motors make more torque and hence don't usually rev as much to make the same power.

Oh of course - we really should be talking about what torque the injectors max out at since that will be related to airflow - not at what power.

Yeah it can be a bit confusing, being as pulse width is static all that changes is duty cycle. So even though at high rpm more fuel is being injected over time, less fuel is being injected per pulse. So if you have fuel pump issues etc you might see it leaning out at high rpm but fine at peak torque, but if the injector is the issue it will lean out at peak torque.

I think I've got that correct, also explains why injectors required to make x rwkw can vary wildly as seen in this thread.

Just out of curiosity do people ever play with the pulse width to try and get more out of injectors, or will that cause a drop in pressure? Or are injectors designed to operate at a specific pulse with, assuming I haven't got this all ass about?

Ermington might be a little closer? its 10-15 from my place (Parra/westmead)

so talked to a reputatble tuner (in sydney) tonight

he's going to be tuning my car going forward

i've decided to go with a Haltech for dual maps

BP98 shoud get be 320-330 all day everyday

and with e85 he said I'll be able to run 27psi and the motor should be fine (he said he's done a fair few unopened RBs with this much boost and its all fine)

and he also said it should crack 380-400kw with e85 :banana:

also asked him about cams and cam gears

with -9s he said there is no need for cams (which seems to be the consensus on here as well)... nor cam gears (which I thought was a little weird)

but I'm gonna go with what he says and see what happens

car should be going in about 5-6 weeks so will keep you all updated

P.S dont start bashing the tuner or me... positive comments only please :thumbsup:

Do eeeeet!!!

Graphs of two pls....with RPM

Thank you

Pls come again

edit...

An update this guys thread while youre at it

Hey guys quick question.

Is there any real need for a hard pipe kit at around 300kw.

Couldn't hurt could it?

Just gathering bits up for turbo upgrade and wondering if its a good idea.

Cheers

Luke

I think you'll find Rolls is just messing around, or forgetting this isn't an RB20/25 thread :)

Hard pipes are not required for 300rwkw. Spend the money on improving a different area.

    • Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).
    • Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.
    • Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave. 
    • You'll fit right in. Acceptance is the first step.
    • Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
