Fitted the temp controller I bought from Scotty this arvo; after a bit of rewiring, I now have fan control.

Also threw my rear brace on ; but haven't driven far enough to feel the difference yet.

So it all works fine? Good to hear Dale. :)

I should fit mine...

Sure does mate, but not before I'd given it a good stern swearing at.

The good news is; the thermocouple appears pretty accurate.

I wanted to test it on it's lowest setting (70deg) and it still hadn't cut in at 85 deg; so I thought something was amiss.

Swore for a bit, then switched it off & had another go; the important bit was setting the dip switch to allow the dips to adjust; not the button.

Due to the clear, concise directions; I'm not sure how I missed that bit. :rolleyes:

Going to run it with the thermocouple on the rad and see how it performs; I may end up moving elsewhere.

Stagea is going on the hoist tomorrow (thanks to Andrew at ASR Automotive in Castle Hill for making some room for me to enjoy my day off) for a wheel rotation, plugs, oil + filter, fuel filter and drop the front driveshaft. Meanwhile the ECU is coming out while the Nistune is reflashed with a manual image...thanks to the original supplier I have an auto image and it is anyone's guess whether that has been causing some issues with boost cut, throttle recovery, cold/hot start and few other niggles??

Then Saturday up to DVS-JEZ's dyno for a bit of a check of the tune. While up there I will try a different CAS, drop exhaust and play around with a few settings.

I had a little care package arrive yesterday from Iamhe77. 3" Nismo exhaust and Ox rear brace.. Will admit I am pretty happy so far. The car is a little quieter then i expected but i think once i change my dump and front pipe it should be just about perfect.

The OX bar seems to have made a little difference, Cant wait for the front now

My Legalis was pretty quite until I finished it off with a dump and de-cat front pipe :)

All went smoothly enough car has new fluids, plugs etc ready for some dyno time on Saturday.

Big thanks to MRC for removing the Nistune and flashing the manual image back onto the board. Mark was kind enough to show me the full procedure from de-soldering and bridging the board to put the board into the correct mode to reprogram and then the reverse.

Glad you're happy Josh but I should mention again that 70mm is 2 3/4", not 3".

Missing my rear brace :( Guess I need to find somewhere down here that could make up a custom brace...

Just back from DVS-JEZ after tidying up the tune with the manual image. Great job by Jez sorting out all of the issues with the fat slug.

The drivability off the line is so much better with a few changes to the variable cam timing and a few tweaks with fuel and timing just off idle. Found a some more power by going a richer in the midrange to top end. It liked the extra cooling and made some solid power gains with a few more degrees timing.

More low? Maybe grab a set of Silk Roads?

SO....Scotty helped me fitted the SilkRoads Coilovers today...with the custom springs from SilkRoads (Previous ones were too low)

REsult: Now I can go bush bashing...fronts look good but rears are now ARX height, if not higher :S

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
