Thats not good! Didnt you notice that before the tune? Thats the last thing I want, being all happy to get the car into a better shape only to find out something is wrong with it and require fixing prior... Hope you get that fixed soon.

I found a 2nd hand pfc locally and just bought the boost kit from access (cant be bothered waiting 1 month for it to come from japan). Bought Catco 3" and HKS front pipe arrived today... look damn good!

Hopefully everything will be here by Tues and I can go for tuning on Wed if not the following week. :rolleyes:

I noticed it Sunday and thought WTF? I guess I was in denial. It's only a recent thing. They didn't sort the clutch out entirely either so all round a bit of a fizzer. :rolleyes:

Keep us posted on what happens with you Brandon.

Not good that the turbo shat itself, at least it should to be too horrendous to have it rebuilt.

I honestly feel my car performs better with the M's pods over the airbox (which makes sense when you take into account the surface area of the filters and the mouth design of the pods against the stock box). Critical thing is the get pods separated from the hot engine bay.

Beat you to it!

Bought the dumps and rescheduled the tune the week after I installed both front/dump pipes.

Good stuff!! :D

They're still f**king around with my clutch anyway. Not happy:

yea... clutch is another tricky 1. I dont know how well mine's gonna hold after the tune. I was told it should be fine until 350kW.

Tricky to install too due to multi plates I was told yesterday. :D

Hopefully it'll hold out. Do you know what it is exactly?

Cool! Mind sharing your full list of mods (e.g. exhaust system, boost level etc)? Buts its nice to see another proven example of having factory injectors running that kinda power. I guess you just gotta becareful when you bring it on trackand make sure it doesnt go over 99% or 100% duty.

i got

Apex'i Power FC

Blitz Dual Stage Boost Controller

HKS Turbo dump pipes & front engine pipe

Metal Race Catalyser

Kakimoto Regu 06 Cat back exhaust system

Tomei sump baffle

Tomei type A camshafts

JUN cam pulleys

Sard fuel pressure regulator

N1 oil pump

Trust oil cooler

Its a stock bottom end, and ive got Nismo N1 (T25/T04B 0.64) turbos bolted on the side of it.

cheers : D

next mods Z32s, Injectors and some sort of better intake setup, havnt worked out yet if im goin pods or a arc airbox.

Great. Similiar to what I've got. Very promising for me :P

Hey just on the Regu 06, have you got it tested? What dB is your system? I would love to know that cause I'm thinking of getting that to replace the 1 I have now.

What clutch are you running?

Nah mate. Havnt had it tested. But it is a very nice zorst system, perfect on the freeway u can sit in the car and talk to the person sitting beside you and if you have anyone in the back u can talk with ease. Normal street driving is great, and when u open her up it really roars at you in the high revs. Best zorst system ive ever had on any of my lines.

And im running a ORC twin plate clutch, pritty good so far. Grabs up really well, has been put through many 6k launchs. Fairly Noisey but, when the clutch is in you can hear them rattling quite abit, but i spose its the same for most twin plates.

cheers mate

: D

Interestingly I was told by the bloke tuning it that the stock air box will be a restriction when it's fixed, that it should see over 300rwkw with my turbos but the air box will keep it to 260/270rwkw. specifically put it back on as the pods were rooted. Thing is on here we've seen people on here with upwards of 340rwkw with them, so yeah I dunno. :D

R32 one isnt the greatest

R33/R34 - EASILY 350rwkw through the stock airbox.

Aaron34 & Snowman both have stock R34 Airboxes, near on 400rwkw

I have a 32 with stock airbox, 260awkw @12psi and 310awkw @18psi. Its not an issue up to there at least. In fact all intake including cooler is stock.

Nissan looked after us engineering these cars....

Hopefully the QLD charity cruise has someone with the regu06. I'm really tempted to buy that to replace the trust ti-r if after putting the dump/front pipe on it becomes even louder...

Thanks for the info as usual. :cool:

Good to hear, I've heard 340rwkw with the stock R32 airbox also. I would love 300rwkw but anything over 260rwkw is a bonus. Got a turbo (and more importantly clutch - hopefully today!) issue to sort out now anyway. :D

  • 2 weeks later...

The truth is out... Sadly it made 340hp at all 4 and thats 255awkw. Will post the graph up tomorrow when I've scanned it. Injectors were around 90% so I guess its a really safe tune. Overall although it didnt make what I expected, I'm happy with the response. Its way smoother to drive now.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
