Airbox, pod, AFM, front mount, computer, high flow t28, boost controller, custom low mount manifold, full exhaust, screamer, BBS 17x11, semi slicks, fuel pump, fuel reg... what else can i bolt on to maximize the above?

What do you mean? Do you want more power? I didn't see any suspension mods, have you considered changing suspension setup to fully optimise your power delivery.....

Sparkplugs, injectors, valve springs, plenum, oil cooler, tranny cooler, SURGE TANK!!!!!!!

Guess it depends how far you want to go and what power your making, the suspension is a good idea to get a good response out of the power your making and depending on what power your making a surge could help sort out niggles in the process, valve springs will help with the surging aswell i guess.

Why don't you rebuild your engine now? :(

Im after more power.

Car is at a workshop right now, before i get it tuned i want to bolt on as much shit as i possibly can, then ill look at the suspension.

You, my friend, have got it backwards.

best to let him learn this for himself IC, he'll do is power mods no matter what we say... but he'll learn real fast when he takes it out cant put it to the road and smaller lesser powered cars drive right on by.

Believe me guys i know the importance of suspension, grip, tuning but for now my main aim is power from bolt ons.

I want to basically buy it from the shop and put it on myself then get it all tuned.

Reason being is i just want to look good on the dyno sheet for now :(... ill fix the rest up a little later down the track.

ya know looking at it i think you've got all the tack on bits done... for anything else (cams etc) you need to open things up. you could do a set of adjustable cam gears... or maybe a bigger turbo... but thats all that comes to mind... or a nice set of coil overs... you know while the cars in the shop and all.... get it over and done with.

or if u have a big budget.... rebuild ?? :(

Ive had a suggestion from my mate at the workshop, said to f**k the AFM off and go with a MAP sensor.

How much difference will that make?

how much do u wanna spend!!?

change your turbo and get it tuned properly by a competent tuner if you want more power.

even better, go to a decent tuner and ask them. they will tell you what needs to be done to it, better than any advice you'll get outta this thread or from a mate in a workshop who tells you you'll get more power changing from an afm to map...

ps - you're running semi slicks but havent thought hard about suspension?? :)

Semi slicks were second hand so i bought em for the sake of it lol :) I run RE050 tyres now, use the semis for the track which is rarely.

The car is just for street i dont want hard suspension because the hume highway, canterbury rd etc... are a f**ken pain in the ass !!!!

I did mention i have an aftermarket ECU (computer) in my first post, just didnt mention which one. And i rather not say as not to get laughed at :D

The wheels are actually 17x10.5, they dont hang out but they are basically in line with the wheel well and they miss the suspension by about 1cm, which is why i went wider instead of 18's. Ill show you pictures. Front wheels are 17x9, i forgot to mention that.

My mate at the workshop didnt say the MAP would make a huge difference but he did say its better than an AFM for later when i do start going breserk on tuning :(

Are there any other bolt ons other than throttle body, plenum, fuel rail, injectors and up the sparking package. Can i just buy all the parts, bolt em together then swap em into the car? Or is it a little more than that?

Thanks guys :P

The dyno operator can make anything look good on a sheet of paper if that's all you want........ :P

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
