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?

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
