Hey guilt-toy, i was wandering if youv ever been able to get rid off the clunk clunk clunk hard cut rev limmiter on the link g4's

and got them to sound like the full bangy ignition cut limiters on the older ecus.

We have been trying several diferent settings the last couple of nights with my mates rb25 but still doesnt seem to change it much, channging th control range, turning the advanced mode settings off and having it on plain 100% ignition cut and its still very much the same.

We ended up just setting it to -10* timming on limit to make it a bit bangyer but still not that happy.

This is the limiter we are trying to get rid off

Any help much appreciated!

so i been back in The Republic of Georgia (ex soviet union, thanks paul... lol)

its been great to be back to be honest... not really interested in doing much tuning since i been back, not that most of the people here could afford me anyway.. i been really really enjoying the weather!!! the cheap booze and the chicks here are sooo f**king sexy... fark... don't see girls like this in UAE unless you go to Dubai i guess....

I just finished tuning the car that i was paid for comming here to tune, its a long story but here goes....

Back when i was living here there was a really known car accident, 4 kids died in a BMW M3, they were racing a merc on one of the main roads, this main road has a big ass tree every 3 meters and the road is very unstable....

Inside the car 2 brother died inside the car, and another one or 2 guys.. not sure.. all under 20 years old.. their family are wealthy and the car was purchased by the parents...

anyway before the accident the kids came to our workshop and enquired about buying a Vi-pec ecu for their wrx... they wanted to buy one to tune their STI, with a 2.5 block...

I still remember the day when his father came to our little workshop and asked to buy the vi-pec to finish the build for his son as a memory... i swear to god i will never ever forget the look on his face... the look said a million words without anything having to be said.... just looking at him was hard... he purchased the ecu from us and by the time the car was ready i left the country and moved to the UAE.

Anyway after some time past the car was ready and they were keen to get the car going, but the tuner who was trying to start the car in Georgia could not even start the car, then they offered me to go over there.... to be honest it was hard to say to no to him, because of what happened also the weather in the UAE is really hot atm so i decided to come back for a week for a break...

weather here is awesome!!! i have had such a great time! do not regret it at all!!!

I looked at the STI the same day that i got here, after i put the vi-pec in the case i managed to start it in a few minutes and the guy was on his way to do a 3000km run in period (the engine builder insisted)

anyway i just tuned the car, as we were going down the road where the accident happend the father was driving me, and said "you know this is catatrophe here", i remember where it was and knew what he was talking about.... after comming back from tuning on low boost we were going past the same place and he just dropped it in third gear and boosted the shit outta it, gt35r custom forged ej25 in a sti on 6psi it was flying... kinda scared the shit outta me... but the more i think about it... it was his way to express to his sons that he finally finished their project and that meant alot to him....

we tuned it on .9 bar boost which was enough for the customer and everyone was happy.....

tomorrow morning i will fly back to the uae, so it will be back to the sauna and bad cheap bingali / pakistani / indian made food... its ok when i make my own food though....

so yeah... il post some pics up... since i been here a tuned a few cars but not many... one R32 GTR with a t04z with nistune and another r34 gtt with some custom gt35r with precision housing... the 32 had about 320kw at wheels on low boost and the 34 had 300kw at wheels on low boost....

just looking where they have put the Dyno Dynamics dyno, wow im suprised any dyno could work in these conditions, and this one working without no faults what so ever!!! even though its sucking sooo much dust and shit that it would be enough to kill anything????

anyways.... will try to post these pics soon...

ok... here are some pics of the new dyno setup.... its not a improvement from the old setup but its better then nothing at all!!

also here is some pics of a R33 with a adjustable bonnet scoop! it opens and closed with a setup that looks like a electric window winder... i got a video somewhere of it opening and closing... kinda spun me out.. kinda cool...

ohhhh and a stupid thing that a mate and i wrote about tuning his r34 while we were at a Irish pub, drinking mexican / american beer in ex soviet georgia.... lol...

:)

its been a while i know... but lots of shit is going on here... problem is that i cannot go into it right now.. but if all goes well.. i should be able to update very soon!

the 350z is going good, i don't care what anyone says.. the good ol rb30dett kicks the pants off the v6 =) ! loving that car, but the 32... i am really fallin in love with... i put a hydro handbrake on it and took it for a drift at a small karting track in Dubai, but the power steering rack shit itself when my mate was trying out the car... kinda sucks as its a LHD rack which i imported myself from the usa, its out of a 300zx US spec, the rack cost me $80 on ebay but shipping cost over $200, and now it f**ked :( might try and get it repaired....

here are some pics, and a youtube video of my mate driving the car.

and the r32 after a nice clean =) removed the GT-C's.. they are inside the house and will go back on in winter!

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
