Hey guys, I'm still cruising around Townsville so wave to the bloke in the turbo'd Tokyo taxi if you get the chance. I'm also trying to decide on a few things. My ride has some issues and its been tough to get some of them sorted. Boost creeping past 15psi, hesitation at 5k and stalling. Up until now the main issue has been cash flow (I'm studying - hence strapped) but I've got some plastic cash put aside now so I run into a second problem. Who will do the work?

So far the choices appear to be Paul at Extreme and Lee at LG Automotive for the mechanical (unless anyone else started tuning Nistune in the last year and I've missed it?) and Prestige Paint and Panel for some touch ups to the body work.

Any other ideas?

Deal, remember to bring it with you when you come up here.

Just had a look then and apparently it got thrown out a few weeks ago while I was at work. I'll try and find one from someone in Mackay for you tonight if you want

If anyone is interested I also have a turbosmart dual stage Boost controller and a set of anodized blue tuner wheel nuts (the ones taleb tyres sell)

Hey man how bout dynolink?

Hmm, When I emailed them last year they said they didn't really tune nistune but could do me a viptech for a cool four grand.

It's already got a 3076R and some supporting add ons but it needs a decent tuner to get the best out of it. Right now I don't get much love above 5k because it either over-boosts until it cuts out or it hesitates so much it feels like the engine is just about to fall out of the bottom of the car. I think I will end up taking it to Paul. He had a little trouble with the software last time I had him look at it but I think I've got it sorted now. Plus he didn't have his dyno up and running then.

As for the body work... It's been to northern crash repair and I wasn't too pleased with the finished result. Nothing major just little things that could have been done better. EG: Small dint left in a freshly painted bonnet, bonnet wasn't aligned correctly, the body kit could have been better secured and tighter.

It's booked in for Tuesday with Paul @ X-treme. I'm going to try and get a video of it on the dyno so this weekend I'll be washing it and changing the oil.

How much did paul want for the tune? I might hit him up to for a retune myself.

      EFR7670 exhaust selection RB26

      By LegendGTR · Posted

      I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀

      Stock Airbox and Snorkle for RWC - VIC west

      Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By PranK · Posted

      This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
