Hey guys

Will it do any damage or cause any trouble if I put the SS1PU on without the nistune installed yet?

Trying to work out a way I can get the car to DVS without having to tow it up there.

I was thinking install the SS1PU and then get my brother to wire up a plug for my z32 so I can drive up with the stock AFM then just chuck the Z32 when I get there

how far are you going to be driving, isn't DVS a couple hours away?

It's very possible not to boost lol. If you want to install the turbo before you get it tuned then you don't boost it, simple.

On the stock ecu it will hardly boost before it hits r&r anyway.

I ran my ATR43G3 for a year without being tunned ran it on 7 psi and its ran great just laggy.

Loosen off the actuator so its sloppy comming on boost and you will be fine hitting up to 5 psi on stock tune

Possibly get a base tune by someone in Canberra and let the turbo run in, then go to DVS to get the tune tweaked?

If money is a factor, work out if it'll more $$$ to tow 4 hours or get a base tune here and drive up.

You will be fine. If the turbo is the only aftermarket thing you've got on there, it will be fine. 4 hours of tow truck.... gonna cost you. You can easily drive the full speed limits. Going up to his place is pretty easy, no pressure to floor it or go fast. Once you are on the free way cruise it there. Get all the prep work done before hand(as you are with the wiring) so when you get there and get to the dyno, minimal time is wasted dicking around.

I drove my car to my tuner about 20 minutes away first time. I had all my aftermarket parts in there except my injectors(didn't want to risk the wrong settings). It was running on the base tune with the z32 afm and it was fine. This drive was through start and stop traffic.

I can probably drive my car to the other side of australia at 110km/h without hitting any boost at all. Right foot, control and toot on. You won't hit 6psi unless you actually tried to. You'll be fine man trust me. You will get there faster than a tow truck will and you will have the money in your pocket to pay for the tune or pay for something else when the car isn't making the power it should.

Yeah he is at least 4 and a half hours away which is impossible not to boost

What kind of issues does it cause upgrading from stock turbo with the stock ecu.

Thanks guys

If you boost it you risk detonation, however what you can do is leave the wastegate actuator off so you literally can't boost more than 1-2psi by redline, do this.

ive been driving with my gtx3076 and stockish tune, cant do more than 2-3psi without the engine light coming on, you should be able to baby it around no probs

just change gear at 2500rpm with not much throttle, mine still keeps up with traffic even off boost, just shift up quickly and your fine.

taking the actuator off will make it sound very loud and drive like a dog, atleast thats what happened with mine.:whistling:

The turbo it self acts like a muffler of some sort, bypassing the turbine the exhaust goes through the open wastegate, it will be louder. It will run like arse, but its foolproof and safe if you are worried about foot control.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
