So much for "not mentioning it", aye?

Congrats man.... but why didn't you just save it for tomorrow's tune?

(will need details on what was replaced, results between the two etc :O)

Sounds like a sad excuse TJ. :)

Would have been good to meet some more Stag owners and Ive only ever met you driving on the freeway.

Congratulations... a good result!

Do you have a 1/4 mile time?

Havent got it all sorted yet Bob, just waiting for the E85 tune tomorrow then I will be keen to test it. Looks like a run up to Heathcote one night as ive heard the line at Calder can be long.

I will try and make it to one of the track days too this year, especially if its at Phillip Island, ive always wanted to go there.

wow thats a very impressive result - even with the handicap.

id like to meet with some of you guys. there are lots of questions id like to ask some more experienced stag owners.

im in the SE suburbs of melb.

Sounds like a sad excuse TJ. :blink:

i'm all for a Stag meet up :down:

i need a powerFC before i'll jump on the Dyno again!, keen to see the difference it will make!

It will make a huge difference Atomaly, on the day a S2 c34 pulled 110awkw just to compare. That would jump to 170-180 im guessing, with just a tune.

wow thats a big jump.. mine pulled 160awkw at RE last time so it should jump into the 200s then i take it ?? :down:

if u see a PowerFC to fit a manual S2 C34 going cheap let me know! :blink:

HERE you go Tom (quick search for "R34 power fc" in the For Sale section)

Damn, the tune didnt go ahead today, Trent cant dyno M35 Stageas as removal of the drive shafts isn't possible without taking the whole hub off.

Im booked in to RE Customs on Monday now, another wait. :P

At least its the same dyno again as the graph above, should give me some good feedback.

I hate to say I told you so Scottie....LOL

Yeh thanks Andy, right as usual. :P

Gives me time this weekend to fit the rest of the goodies I bought, Greddy map sensor, wideband logging cable and pcv catch can. (thanks Craig.)

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
