Got some piping made up, just need to buy some pod filters and the intake side of things is done

thats all ive got done so far, waiting on nissan to deliver my gaskets and injector o-rings

Was just wondering where you got your MAFless induction pipes from? Very nice build up so far too. Im doing a major overhaul/restore on my gtr too, will start a build thread soon :)

Hey mate,

those pipes were just some spares i had lieing around (ive wrecked a few performance cars and few odd bits and bobs that i couldnt sell have found a new home at my workshop lol)

i had to cut them shorter and weld on a quarter inch reduction on the turbo side so the rubber piping fits onto them. The rest of the piping is 3" which is what most pod filters are anyway.

Well AFMs shit me :) and the fact that the driveability of the car is now better is a justified reason on its own now but i was planning on doing a big single conversion however i cant afford to do that atm. Ive got half of it done now, just a matter of time before i get enough money to go for a big single and get a re-tune.

The boost control is alot better now btw. It spikes quite hard to 1.5bar on a cold night in 2nd gear but in 4th is stabilises around 1.35bar. On the dyno was reading 1.30bar and 1.20bar at redline though but its still running on the rich side. Great tune, has never knocked once, on startup i get like 100 knock but i think thats from the starter motor but generally my knock while the car is running never goes over 27.

My old ecu used to get some false knock during driving, i think its because it was old maybe?

Did you buy a brand new D-Jetro with the new H/C? With the price people want the normal PFC with H/C for these days its easier just to pay the extra few hundred and get a brand new one!

Well i bought the dejetro off a mate for 1k with sensors and hand controller and it was a very new model. My old power fc i sold for 800 bucks and it was an older model.

all i can say it well done and i very much enjoyed reading this thread, its easily got some of the sexiest+toughest midnight 33R's ive seen thus far. im very jealous having to stick with my gts-t due to my pathetic excuse of an apprentice income. :ermm:

im in the same boat buddy :ermm:

Nothing wrong with a knock level of 27. Anything over 40 will get me worried but on a cold night it never goes over 20 no matter how hard im driving it and im very happy with that.

Theres a possibility that your low knock level is due to a too conservative tune? (if that makes any sense) Room for more power maybe?

How much power are you making and on what boost?

    • I don't know if this is accurate. The EPC places the EPS control unit somewhere in the engine bay or somewhere in the interior near the firewall, presumably because the things it's controlling mostly live up in the front of the car unlike HICAS which has a whole steering rack on the rear axle to handle. @D.phantom The R32 GTR manual actually has more than I give credit for talking about the non-HICAS cars: You can probe the pins on the diagnostic connector directly to read the EPS solenoid voltage as far as I can tell following the flow chart.
    • Hi all, so I bought a very low kms 2019 Q60s in Nov 2022 and have been driving it stock for 17 months. The power from the VR30DETT has been a little scary as these cars did not come with a LSD. Although the ECU does well with compensating the lack of LSD by using automatic braking on different wheels when there is lost of traction etc, it does not really give me much confidence to push the car harder. Further to that, the car feels quite boaty especially around sharper corners or roundabouts - it would seem like the wheels are lifting on one side. These engines are also very prone to heat soak as the heat exchanger is tiny. I felt this during the heat wave in WA over summer even in normal driving. Gear shifting in the Q60 is also something that I hated - it's quite harsh at low speeds especially in traffic.  I recently purchased a set of f&r sway bars, rear diff brace and a heat exchanger from Z1 in US. Here are my thoughts 1) Rear diff brace - no more wheel hop when accelerating quickly. wheel spin still present but manageable comparing to before. Gear shifts are now smoother, you can still tell its shifting etc but you dont feel the harshness. I would highly recommend this mod, and it should still be on sale at Z1 at the moment. 2) Sway bar - there are 2 settings for this F - 114%/165% increase in stiffness over stock and R - 138%/214% increase in stiffness over stock. Currently I am on the stiffer settings. The car feels very planted. Due to the weather over here I have not been able to test if i need to reduce the stiffness. So far it's much more comfortable to drive over stock as you dont feel like your car is lifting up and in fast turns you can control the car a lot better while turning left and right in quick succession.  3) HX - the Z1 HX has a much higher capacity and surface area (up to 200% or something). Again with the cooler weather it's a little hard to tell. I went with the Z1 HX due to the price, size and colour (black). You can't see the HX through the front bumper. There is a cheaper brand but it was smaller and the rest were more expensive which i didnt think was worth the extra since I won't track this car much at all. All 3 mods were easy to install, all plug and play. Note of caution, the front bar needed to come off for the HX to be installed.  
    • A is the HICAS CU.  As far as I know, there are no other modules located at A in a car with HICAS, so it is fair to presume that F is the variable power steer module for non-HICAS cars. Same location, give or take. Makes sense - the wiring loom for the HICAS cars has the speed signal, power, solenoid drive, etc wires all present there - so why move the module and have to upend the wiring loom?   Having said the above though, it may be the case that F is further down in the rear guard - it's hard to tell. In which case it may be something else. Yes, it is the multi-pin plug next to the under dash fuse box. Top left corner. Can't miss it. Be very careful though - use insulated probes to poke around in there so  you don't accidentally short 12v to ground or an ECU input etc etc.
    • They didn't. This is their comments; I'm not sure why they don't have the OEM specs.
