i think it has 3 inch exhaust on it i talked to tuner he said leave it for couple of weeks make sure everything runs smoothly then he said we can talk about more power but surely i can make more power than 410 hp safetly with that motor and turbos ?

So there's your answer. Its not a final, full power tune. Sounds like your tuner is being conservative to keep the risk of a blown motor/turbo failure/whatever to the minimum. If that's the case, then his opinion and approach should be respected.

3in is definitely too small for -5s and therefore sub-optimal. It would be worth getting a 3.5 or 4 in fitted before you take it back for the full power tune. Dont skimp on the cat.

1 page later the real truth is posted... *facepalm*

IF you were told it was deliberatly tuned that way, for a reason... What is the problem?

you know why its down on power a bit.What a waste of a thread.

Point to remember, just having a particular engine and turbo combo does not mean you will automatically make the power its capable of. So much depends on exhaust, intake, intercooler etc.

You are 100% right, that engine and turbo combo is capable of a lot more power, but if you do not have all the required supporting mods as suggested above then you will not make the power and the tuner can only tune with whatever is given to him. You really need to build a relationship with your tuner and tell him what you want, then he can do testing and find out what is limiting things.

Umm... Just to be clear ....

Are you attempting to pick a 10hp difference (or less than 3% difference) between two different dynos at two different workshops? Presumably on two different days?

Whatever the numerical difference, there were have to be a whole lot of change in the power delivery to pick it up using the "seat of the pants" dyno as well.

+1

With possibly two different batches of fuel. 10hp is sweet FA.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out

      OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
