Well just got back from Unigroup in Girraween over half an hour ago as they have been flat out!!

Long story short, no good. Found a split hose on the run, the one that goes from the "twin turbo" outlet past the airbox...GRRRR

So I'll need to fix that before a tune can be sorted...Well, I'll have to go back there tomorrow and get back in line once I fix it :(

Yeah, just some nice cheap ones will even do as long as they are good quality. From memory, I'm pretty sure I had the exact same problem until I replaced it with a hard piping kit and even gained me some extra wasps.

Went with a cooling pro silicone black piping kit. Looks rough enough, and no more leak :)

Oil problem was a combination of rings not bedding in yet and lack of crankcase ventilation.

Once it was caned on the dyno blowby reduced very quickly. 312kw @ 16psi. 326 @18psi. Will go back in a couple of weeks for the power tune :) In the mean time it's Sau nats time :D

Dunno about Sean but with my HPI 3" dumps I got custom 3" to 3.5" front pipes made, couldn't find anything that big off the shelf

Custom pipes are the way to go , but aren't you still restricted by the turbo outlet ? Edited by NISSAN GTR

Mine are twin 3' into 3.5' front pipes as well with flex joint, then through a nismo metal cat.

Getting a 3.5 inch cat back stainless steel exhaust sorted out tomorrow as the HKS one is 3' from cat to 3.5 from the back of the resonator, then less than 3 inch through the rear cannon...

But you got 4L of engine telling that gas where to go lol!!!! gas has got no choice :D

The cross-sectional area of a single 3.5" pipe is about 38 inch square. The cross-sectional area of the twin 2.5" pipes is about 39 inch square. That gives equivalent flow.

Likewise, the cross-sectional area of a single 4" pipe back to muffler is about 50 inch square. And the cross-sectional area of twin 3" pipes is about 56 inch square.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
