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..

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
