Just posting this as i haven't seen any up to date dealing with this company.

Got there this morning and spoke to Herman, was only looking at getting a SAFC II fitted to the car, had a bit of a chat to him and found out that they are now a NISTUNE dealer.

Having looked into this before it was a few days turn around from other suppliers, I asked them what the turn around time was, to my pleasant surprise he said 2-3 hours, as they keep them in stock.

Ran the car on the dyno to see what it was doing.. I have now got the record for what he said was the dirtiest (fuel out the exhaust) skyline he has seen!!!

Had a bit more of a chat and decided to go with the NISTUNE as it just seemed like the better option..all up the NISTUNE was fitted and tuned to my car for $1000 bucks

Car went from 155kw to 221kw, backed off slightly to 216kw due to a slipping clutch.

Spoke about future mods that i should do with the car, any question that i had was answered, and he even explained a few things i wasn't aware of.

Im just posting this up as it is always good to see positive feedback about a garage, they will defiantly be seeing my car back in there.

Mick!!

I would assume for 216kws, he has upped his boost a lot, or it's a happy dyno (which is the word on the street for envy).

But the peak power isn't really important, it's the delivery of that power and I'm sure now with a tuned ECU that you're happy as larry!

Massive gain there Mick, you have to be happy with that :D

Are you still running standard boost?

No boost controller atm, they recon with a EBC and wastegate i will be pushing high 230 , low 240kw

what about fuel system??

Stock atm.. when i do the EBC im going to upgrade the fuel pump, they recomend a intank walbro

Good to hear!

Herman was asked to guestimate how my car would go on Dyno at the SAU Event 16/08/08 and with my minimum mods/boost

he was only 8kw under.

BTW, he would have upped your boost a bit?

Hey terry, i think herman said that the boost is up to around 15pound but bleeds of to around 12pound, hence the need for a better wastegate

I would assume for 216kws, he has upped his boost a lot, or it's a happy dyno (which is the word on the street for envy).

But the peak power isn't really important, it's the delivery of that power and I'm sure now with a tuned ECU that you're happy as larry!

Yea power delievery is so much better.. just felt like a new car when i left the place.. even the girfriend said she could notice the difference!!

Id say the stock fuel system will be very close to its limit..

my stock fuel pump died cause a certain workshop tuned it with a fuel cut defender on 12psi and made just under 200rwkw (not envy)

went to unigroup and had the walbro installed - much better and then when I did the turbo conversion had the larger z32 afm and 555cc nismo injectors

once you get them, get a retune and you'll be laughing :huh:

However your stock turbo may not last..

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
