Depends on the workshop, depends what else they might find.

Everything being in order and correct (rare) 3-5 days.

I mean if you rock up in the morning with the car, its obviously going to require hours to cool down etc. A lot of people don't factor that in.

So you've wasted a few hours of the first "day" booking before anything is even touched ;)

I would recommend 8-10 hours including the swap over off oil and water line fittings. 10 hours would allow for small setbacks like seized nuts or other such things. Generally you can expect $800-$1000 plus any parts used

Then for the tune they will need time to install the chip and tune it. You'll need to leave it for about 2 days to get the tune right usually but sometimes an additional day might be required.

Total time I would say 3-4 days for everything

Took my tuner 2 days to install turbo, injectors, make custom intake/cooler piping and tune the car. When I got the NIStune chip installed he only had it for half the day.

All of my stuff was direct bolt on replacement though, except the turbo needed the custom intake/cooler piping to fit.

Haha yeah Martin that's Andrew though. Providing there's nothing else booked in for the day, Hyperdrive's gotta be the most efficient workshop I've heard of.

My car took about a week all up to install the EMS and tune it. That includes shipping the ECU back to SA for a firmware upgrade. So turbos plus ECU and tuning, couple of days providing nothing goes wrong...

You talking on your GT-T?

If so, its markedly easier to remove the exhaust side and replace a single turbo as opposed to the twins.

A GTR does take longer.

Yeah but all his custom intercooler piping and shit wouldv'e made up for the difference I bet...

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
