What are you using at the moment Jeremy?

You just had a highflow installed, didn't you?

Still stock everything ATM, but I have plans for hi-flow R34 turbo and nistune...... plus this, plus that, then that and then another that.

Keen. Got harness and everything needed for it? How much you want for it?

You can keep your spark plugs :P

So you just wire that harness into the car's loom then off to the tuner? Is there wiring info on the cd?

I shall consult with my official mechanic when he gets back from the sticks and let you know.

Col, not good mate. Just make sure you look after yourself and your wife.

McFly, what ECU are you running? A Chipped 33 unit? The SAFC might not allow you to do much besides trimming some of the fueling points. They work great on stock management if you want to up the boost a little on a 'stock' setup.

McFly and Jez, Nistune is the best option in my opinion as it keeps things looking stock and gives you the same *or similar* level of tunability to that of a PFC. Being that you both have 33 setups (McFly I'm assuming you're running S1 33 ECU and loom - or is it a fiddles 31 setup?), The Nistune requires a little jiggery-pokery to work. You will need a Type 2 Nistune Board and a 32DET Ecu or a Z32 DET/DETT board that requires some internal modifications. The mods alter the firing order of the injectors and trigger for the coilpacks.

Type 2 boards with Nistune software go for $420 + GST, then you'll need to find yourself a 32 ECU which I'd allow for $100. Misso might have his laying around somewhere, so bug him. I can solder the board into it for you no worries. The software is nice to use giving you easy options for upgrades. Select the type of airflow meter you have installed and what injector size and it will trim the maps to give you a good base to start from - in a tuning sense.

As for turbos, the more understated it is for a daily street car the better. That 3076R is a nice turbo. A mate of mine had it one with a machined out T28 .63 rear housing on his twin cam 2ltr MX6. The thing laid down 425hp atw. Problem with his was that it was internally gated. Boost control became an issue. That turbo requires it to be externally gated and I think with the housing size will be a let down if you want to keep the same sort of response you have currently.

A complete bolt on kit like a GT-RS or a high flow will be the better option IMO for a street car. I would lean towards the highflow as it can be passed off as`stock and means you don't need to fiddle pipework, etc to fit.

Yeah chipped S1 33 ECU

Yeah mine is essentially a 33 S1 engine loom, just minor fiddling to get it to mate up to the 31 main loom. Nothing that would affect the ECU.

I could find an R32 ecu (looks at ute)... but doesn't that lose the VCT or something?

So in short what you are saying is: it will be a bit laggy?

I would rather have better response than a few moar killa wasps, so I might stick with the high flow option.

A properly good tome, that was.

If you want to keep the VCT you have to go with the z32 ecu.

Just called 'bribane turbo and tuning' or something like that, over at the gabba

To rebuild stock rb25 turbo, assuming parts are available, around $700

To steel-wheel: extra $350ish

To rebuild, high flow & steel wheel: around $2000

Poooooooop.

I didn't think they rebuilt turbos themselves. Pretty sure they source it out. GCG has a great reputation and pretty sure they do their highflows for less.

Hypergear appear to be gaining popularity with their cheap highflows, but I am not sure what their reliability is like.

True... funnily enough I just came across your ad on boost from November, selling an Rb25 turbo. You still got it? I might be keen, to send off to hypergear/GCG to high flow it...

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).

      By Duncan · Posted

      Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
