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..

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time.

      This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins.

      Was the car running before he touched the car?
