Have been slowoly putting together a 10k GT-R mod package and have come to the tuning side of things. 10k got me a PAR gearbox, -5's, 550cc squirters, vipec, nismo pump, K&N panel filter, adj cam gears and half a tune at the local shop. ( the half a tune will be explained shortly)

i have attached a dyno graph of what this setup made and im not entirely happy with the results. I was informed by the tuner that he was not impressed by the car and that power was very umm, linear. I questioned why this would be and 4 days and 2k later, i have no answers and a bloody big headache. Now bieng in a semi regional part of the state of QLD means im basically 600km from anywhere so taking it south was always going to be a second option. Lesson learnt!

If any of the Guru's out there would like to shed some intrawebs mechanical knowledge on this and throw some ideas my way, ill happily take it on board and try it out as im a little angry and disheartned. AND, before i get grilled about going -5's, i went that option for future mod plans. The car drives average and seems to make about 4hp more than stock, even in the top end, has no coldstart properties whatsoever and seems to be running as rich as an arab oil baron at the moment so fire away!

I'd swap tuners, or swap cars. Owning a car like a GTR in a country town has its problems [i'm in the same jam]. You have to decide if you want to drive 2-300km and get a 'real' tune, or if you would rather live with an aussie V8???

I think that your mods should give good power and maybe more than what you already have, 280kw is OK, but a GTR with those mods should be over 300. So your tuner is the weak link in the chain.

As they say, only a poor workman blames his tools..............

What exhaust do you have? If it is a standard one then maybe that could be affecting final power?

      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?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      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.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
