Hi All,

So I was sick of my car's fuel economy & lack of low down power, I know for a fact that it was burning fuel for no reason because the rear of my car is now black, and I get like less than 350kms/tank regardless of how I drive plus it shoots out massive flames everytime I change gears minus the trail of black smoke (rich light/mid throttle tune)

With some forum searching (yes I use the search function, unlike SOME) I managed to run into this guy name Guilt-Toy (Anthony).

We so totally scheduled a day and time to meet up at UAS to use their dyno. First thing put my car on a power run, seemed as though it somehow lost like 20 something odd kilowatts, no idea why? John the owner at UAS said his dyno probably reads abit low, Anthony just keeps telling me I need a bigger turbo and said this turbo is too small LOL... I think his solution to everything is bigger turbo :) Soon Anthony, soon hahaa

After spending around 2 hours on the dyno fixing up my old crappy map, car now hits stoich on cruise/mid throttle and he fixed up parts of the map, i.e. injection to lean it out on some parts, and a tad of ignition just when it builds up boost.

Conclusion:

Car feels heaps better to drive, not so sluggish as before, boost comes on earlier and I THINK it's more economy, but I've only done 100kms since I got it back so I can't say much.

Mods:

- HKS 2535 (boost drops off hard from 18PSI down to 15PSI towards read line) this is where Anthony paid me out lol

- Z32

- powerFC (dur!)

- 450cc S15 Injectors (No you monkeys, S15 injectors are NOT 480cc, that's running a different pressure)

- typical mods

Power loss? not too sure why, probably dyno reading? or from me previously pulling out a few degrees from the map a while back to lessen the knocking.

Whatever it is, my goal was to get the car economical & to improve response and I achieved that. Many thanks to Guilt-Toy, top bloke, showed me everything he did, had nothing to hide! :)

curse you for going away effy! sooner or later you'll be tuning mine too mate... The skyline i mean, the sigmas off limits roight hahahaha

props where props are due guys effy has made it his business to know skylines intimately so if your looking for someone who is in the know Guilt Toy is your man.

where is he flying to? Come to perth!

Georgia in the former Soviet Union...The Iron Curtain has fallen and Effy is moving in to take over.

He's the top tuner over there already as he's been tuning cars via the mobile phone network linked up to their laptops to crunch the numbers for them. I believe he already has a circuit class national title to his name over there.

He will probably be available to tune cars here still as he can tune via the internet

no we dont want that if effy takes one look at the chicks you guys have cruisn the beaches and shops over there he'll never come back. Sorry but we own the right to him. :)

Effy what ecu do you recommend? Power FC appears to be the common one everyone want for skylines, but ive found the adaptronic flawless on my siggy, so im tempted to ditch the factory stuff and rig in a full control ecu? or is that foolish spending???

Cheers for the comments guys.

Yes I am leaving and I am not sure when I will be back. If things do work out for me over there I will come back for summer every year after i get settled.

I have also exported my import. The car is on its way there and I am seriously having withdrawls :)

And I am sending a Dyno Dynamics 2wd Dyno with my car, (Thanks Yavus =)

I hope to race my car in many different countries around Europe, and I have got some tuning interest in a few countries, Greece, Anguilla in the Caribbean and also in the sphincter of the universe which I will be stopping in there on the 14th of this month to meet with the top drifter there to have a play with his S14 SR20 emanage.

Please invest in some chain to chain the car down, sorry to be seeing you leave, although e85 will probably be a bit more available where you are going.

LOL too late for that. The ship is on its way, has been for the last 2 weeks. I paid a fair bit to get the container packed profesionally by the guys at WSI and they always strap cars like this, even Lambo's and Ferrari's etc etc

Why do you want to upgrade the ecu ? If i was to suggest a ECU it would be a Vi-Pec V44 plug in. Damn good ecu. When you are ready to get one let me know and I can send you to a tuner in Newcastle to sort it out for you.

This car was already tuned by Hitman before it came to me, the top end and mid range comming onto boost of the map was tuned very good and I could not make any improvements on it at all it was just the cruise and little bit of mid range that I tuned on this car to make it feel better on the street.

Glad you are happy with the tune mate, hope you can come to the Dyno day this weekend! I think i told you about it ? if not then give me a call and I will give you details.

what day is the Dyno day? I might come make an appearance with my flames :P

see if this dyno displays a different number :P

Yeah its a free dyno day i have put on for the guys who I have tuned cars for to do touchup's etc etc before I go, kinda like a thankyou because without these guys I would'nt know what I do today. You are invited to come mate.

I will send you details in PM

Ooo sounds wicked! fire it over Anthony :P

Guilt-toy, you not joking, right ? Guiricha made you go to Georgia ? Nice. Will you still be available for laptop tunes. What made you took off so sudden ? Georgian cognac or women ?)

Yeah, he has been asking me to move over there for a year now, and I kept saying no. Then he bribed me with women and food & alcohol and racing trips all over Europe so I could not refuse =), so I told him if we buy a Dyno then I will come over. - He got the money together for a Dyno that i suggested so its time to start a big adventure :P

Also the tuning situation over there is getting pretty bad, one of his mates got his car all up and running the other day after Guricha spent 2 weeks upgrading turbo manifolds intercooler etc etc and he was told NOT to boost his car.. a hour after getting the car back his itch for boost got the better of him and he destroyed his RB25, there are quite a few cars waiting for me and we have a drag day on the 26th of this month as well and I get to race his car because mine wont get there till August.

I don't think I will be offering remote tunes in Australia, you guys have got plenty of decent tuners here to tune for you. I will only do this for guys who are in remote areas / countries with no other option.

Who did the shipping?? I have a feeling we did it but I work on the import side so im not 100% We use WSI for all our packs and unpacks so it's pretty likely. :P

It was a company over there who organised it. They did not organise any packing of the container so I had to organise that so I contacted WSI personally and got the guys there to help me out, Tom was very helpfull and the guys there did a great job.

Ok cool, yeah they handle alot of cars there so they do a good job. I remember directing someone to them over the phone who had the shipping sorted but needed someone to do the packing. Can't remember what car or where it was going though.

That was probly me man!! you work for Cargo online yes ?

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
