haha.. thats right.

that is not the car to be getting ideas off. As a budget drifter maybe.

that car is packing a chinese greddy copy plenum, chinese turbo, chinese manifold, chinese gate and the engine bay is disgusting.

he makes it all work, doesnt mean its a good idea though.

for the average punter its not a bright idea to push 370's anywere near that

That may be true but it is an indication of what can be made from them. And that car was not a 5 minute car either.

currently sporting

-Mines Ecu

-Apexi turnflow front mount intercooler

-Walboro 255L

-3" Trust catback

-HKS EVC 5

-Bee*R high flow panel filter

thats bout the basic of it anyways and got 253rwkw running very lean due to the japanese tune in australia environments (and probs crap fuel too)

will have sard 550's, Blitz fmic, blitz pod filter w/ CAI setp installed before the new tune due before the coming weekend

BTW the calculation I use for injector sizing is (CC of injector / 5) X Number of cylinders = engine hp at max duty.

If you start to increase fuel pressure, the calculation changes slightly.

Hmmm ye true.

What about acceleration enrichment and that kinda thing?

You've got no room if you calc it @ max to begin with. Even a figure of 10% which would perhaps be enough, brings it back to 400hp

I know where you're coming from and it is a valid point but accell enrich only comes into play for a fraction of a second when the throttle is depressed quickly, then it goes back to normal. Seeing as though it's when the engine is at just over maximum torque with a decent rpm and considering that rpm on our cars is usually around at least 5krpm and up, then that accell depression would have to take place at that time and power delivery would have to be instantaneous. In the small fraction of time that the injector needs to deliver that tiny bit more fuel, the engine would still be building boost for a small amount of time, therefore, still getting up into it's peak torque area.

I suppose it could be an issue if you put all things into consideration and they all happened at once. Would be rare for it to be an issue but I don't doubt that it could happen. It's always better to stay on the safe side of these things, no doubt at all. But still, with an easy maximum at 280rwkw, I think 250 or even 260rwkw would be nothing too much to ask out of the standard injectors. Of course it all comes down to having everything else right too. If you have a shit fuel pump it's going to let the whole package down. When you run close to the edge, it's always risky business but if you have all systems in place, it can be just as safe as anything else. I reckon, if in doubt, upgrade. If it's not in your budget, then tune it down til it is.

I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea with what I'm saying, it's always better to be safe then sorry, it's good to know the limitations of ALL your hardware but only go down that road if you are prepared for the consequences. And yeah, if in doubt, ask or upgrade as above.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
