Yea Paul it was on roo we didnt chase the tune at all. put some timing and boost into it and that was it.

wont be long till we race it i still have to put the auto in it and gas it{ i know gas is for fags IM GAY}

less power than you... :P ...with slightly less boost. Very safe tune though.

We thought it best to get the car set-up and running good consistant times with a sensible tune and reasonable boost levels. Ringing the engines neck while trying to get the set-up right is a bit silly as these engines have a short life at 1000hp+. Its now set-up right and quite consistant as the last 6 or 7 passes have been 9.7's or better with all the 60' times being in the high to mid 1.3's. Mark says there is lots left in it (about another 120hp at the treads with further boost and tuning) so ill be flying back up in a few weeks to run it again with a bit more power and set-up in the car. Small steps are the order of the day...trying big jumps can leave you frustrated and or a big expensive mess to fix.

any idea of how long till you take it out? remember the suspension guide i gave you...its a good starting platform and easier to fine tune from there.

good luck

Thanx mate. it wont be for about a month or two ive got other things going on{work shit}

so i still have to bolt the auto in and get shafts made but i will let you know

i know its easy enough to make the power we just have to get it down the track

Ok dyno dynamics could read high but knock 200kw off the figure and im still making 300kw more than most :P

i lol'd.....to save an arguement...get Vic to do it in 'Shootout' mode...its the industry standard and cross-references directly to Mainline figures.

dyno's are for tuning anyway...racing is the true measure of performance.

id like to see it run so stay in touch before you take it out.

Haha its been a while since the last "flame someones dyno figures" session on here.

Nice work Superjet, sounds like a very impressive setup - be good to hear how it goes on the strip. I know RIPS has run around 150mph in a full weight R34 GTR without NOS and slightly less boost on an RB26/30 with the same or less amount of "turbo" so while I can't make heads nor tails of how different Oz dynos read, I know that if your head is good and the tune is nice - a 26/30 with a bunch of turbo, good fuel and 30psi can make for a very hearty amount of power.

Well done mate, glad it worked out well for ya.

Was good talking to Con last week, we discussed a few things and I told him to go for it as we'd been alot further than you wanted to go with the same bottom end setup.

Best of luck mate, get the gas on there and let me know how me old auto goes too :D

Rob is this the Turbo400 4WD you been working on?

Nah, this is a different set up alltogether.

The TH400 is all but done, I'm just waiting for the car to get here from overseas thats going to be our test mule.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
