You might be right Moei. Ill have to wait a couple of weeks to find out for sure when I get a chance to get back to the dyno.

The car is driving great on the road, a wall of power from 4K Rpm all the way through to 8K Rpm. Theres just nowhere for me to go flat out through 3rd gear and on, Id be just a little over the speed limit :devil:

the clincher in my opinion is the Nismo gal. radiator guide plate. Whats the Nissan part number for that one Bakes?

would have been nice for Wayne to let us have a quick run on the rollers today after the Toyota club had finished.

Dave tells me the cat that was fitted represented a significant (up to 40%) restriction in the system. He owns an exhaust shop so his knowledge is reasonably accurate.

The numbers up to where the power starts to nose-over are all excellent for the set-up, and we by no means pushed the car hard....but there is something stopping it making more power, winding more timing, less fuel or more boost to try and push power figures is pointless at this stage. Its a method of just trying and testing a few ideas when Bakes comes back from working interstate to get the power where it should be at this level of tuning. With the wheels fitted to the car and the level of tuning the car has now i estimate the power is down about 40-50KW of where it should be...yes a restrictive cat can rob you of that.

Paul, Im working as a contractor for Nismo in relation to the Gal Nismo radiator gap plate.

I can custom make them and sell them for $450 if anyones interested, lol :(

OK part number is 024U-225371 or 024U-BAKES1...lol

I hope you have arranged with Christian (Prank) to operate as a trader on this site.

one vote for fuel pump

lol

a lack of fuel would have shown up on the dyno...we had to take fuel out of it.

its holding its afr's dead flat to redline.

ive had my car not make anymore than 10psi boost due to a stuffed cat and soon as it was unbolted it went back up to 18psi, thats with a 3' magic cat too, blocked/restrictive cats can kill power bigtime, definately capable of gaining 60kw+ if the cat is blocked or just ultra restrictive.

Hey Bakes hopefully all gets sorted so you can get that magical 300+ mark. Ive just replaced my titanium exhaust with the Varex system and im happy with the outcome. I was quite surprised how much better it ran after installing a high flow cat. Though i miss the loud sound i had, the car still sounds great and when i push the remote its full on stealth mode (no cam burps)..

Cheers for the comments guys!

Great info Unique1, Thanks. Definately could have been my problem then. We will see.

Fatz, I have Nismo fuel pump.

Huy, Thanks, you might well change your cat to after we see my next dyno result in a couple of weeks.

did u bright sparks think of dropping the exhaust after the front pipe to see the effect?

yes we did think about this, however it was not possible to do because we were running out of time and it was 10pm at night by the time we hit the power brick wall and running the car with no exhaust would have been bad.

very nice car bakes.

    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
