Nah, got someone else to do it on a dyno. After watching it once though, I think I could do it myself now on a dyno. Anyway..... I'll tell you something else though..

I went to someone who claimed he could "street tune" the SAFC for $50 (coz a dyno tune was over $100, and i had no job and was a tight arse). I told him I wanted the hesitating at 5500 rpm that was so common to boosted R33's sorted out. This guy did the worst tune, basically did stuff all difference to A/F ratio's, but he wound the timing right back to 10 deg, so I wouldn't feel the hesitation... Needless to say the car ran like SH1T!!! Smooth, but slower than in stock form!

So anyhow, I wound the timing up to 17deg, boosted to 11psi, and took it to get it dyno tuned. Needless to say I was very happy with the results afterwards.

If u aren't experienced or confident enough to tune it yourself (and u r at the risk of wasting ur engine if you lean it out too much), take it to a dyno where u can have a lot more confidence in your tune....

Thought I would show you my FMIC,

I purchased this FMIC second hand for under $1000 and it bolts striaght up to the existing plumbing...

It's not too big but you can tell it does the job. The biggest improvement was the flow (up high like 4500 rpm) compared to the stock I/C. Then you also notice less heat soak on warm days.

Anyways, I am also aiming for as close to 200 rwkw's as I can. The below FMIC will be fine:

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
