Hoping for a extra power everywhere above 4000rpm and maybe a tad extra down low :)

Do you have access to a data logger for before runs? If you want I can send over a simple GPS logger so you can map gs and speed so that you can get a feel for in gear acceleration and response. Something a dyno wont pick up

I have read a few people say that Nistune are decent enough but have their limitations. Is there a performance reason behind the change to Vipec from Nistune or just a question of more functionality?

I'm waiting on battery to see how he goes with the billet love... but it may be an option down the road!

Or see the difference a better flowing turbine will make :whistling:

I have trackaroo that tracks speed via gps but I find that the 1hz GPS updating of the phone is a bit of a fail so even if there was a difference you wouldn't be able to tell... Regardless I doubt seat of pants feel will change much, it'll go from shitting yourself to still shitting yourself haha

I'll try and get back down the 1/4 for the black top dyno run but I have faith the hubber should show the differences.

There is nothing at all wrong with the Nistune, it's more getting itchy feet. I would prefer the AFM gone as it's the last link in the blown cooler pipe chain saga. The addition of heaps more funcitons (proper VCT control, boost control and many other functions) is what tipped it over the edge. But mainly just ditching the AFM :)

I would love to give the bigger turbine wheel a go... The reason I gave up on the idea is because I knew that even if the result was better, I would still have to change back to the original turbo and just way too much effort (I'm lazy)

Completely understand. I just need an oil pump and somewhere that will do reasonably priced inlet flanges and I could find out about turbos myself soon enough :)

Re data logger. I have a little QStarz 10hz logger for when I am in hire cars and other peoples cars that if you think it will give acceleration etc you can borrow

Where did you get it from? I've been looking but can't find one jew cheap :)

Been looking at simonR32's pic's & I know centre mounting flange is different but housing size?

Is mine a 10 cm rear, as no marking's on housing?

I got mine from racerecall.com . It does the job, but I don't think it is as good as a Driftbox etc but then again is cheaper so performs the basic job I ask of it.

Whats the idea behind logging hire cars?

Well when you are hiring them and flogging them around the track when you are on holidays :) LOL, that how I know what a Swift can do around the combined GP Circuit-Nordschleife etc etc :)

My rear housing is v-band to the centre cartridge while yours is bolted.... I think that is the difference! Looks like that is the difference between 8cm and 10cm by browsing ebay. What did you order?

Looks like you're almost ready for a tune?

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
