No worries dude, I'm on arvos this week so maybe catchup on the weekend. I've got a cold ATM so don't wanna give it to anyone else.

My sticker mistake has been fixed thanks to Troy, cuttin is back and doing one more cost and wallah. She's new!

Got my car back yesterday... Crank Angle Sensor was rooted as well so got it upgraded and new tune. Dyno attached

Mods are

R33 GTST S2

Stock motor

FMIC

Spitfires

Nismo 740cc

Walbro fuel pump

Vipec ECU

GT3076 [Low mounted & Internally Gated]

3" Exhaust with Hi-Flow Cat

4" Intake pipe

Still seems a low figure. Do you guys agree?

That looks ok IMO, how much boost are you running? May not b a huge thing but if u dif the pump did u do the regulator aswell? I know Clint did both and he runs close beside a high flow.

Still a big improvement though!

I was going to go with a highmount setup, but the costs and cons of doing it isnt worth the money nor the power you make, which isnt a hell of a lot.

There are so many more options to go than that, but thats just me :P i would probably look at going forged if you want a beastly power with the 25, now thats worth some dosh :D

Bodo, lemme know if your free sometime before sunday this weekend? ill bug ya for the gear knob, otherwise tee it up for next weekend

Running 18psi.... Think I'll look into upgrading exhaust to 3.5" and save for highmount setup

Lot more money and not better result. is that 3076 in a .82 internally gated rear housing?

Having said that its an out come of a package instead of a turbocharger alone. As a bolton option it isn't unreasonable, and rarely any one makes their desired output in the first go. Either way, the most your are likely to see on paper with current setup is roughly 280rwkws. For trouble shooting I would drop the exhaust, try a different pod filter, and a different cooler. Some of the small alterations do make a big gain.

Ultimately a proper high mount manifold and external gate definitly helps with top end power.

Sometimes northing ever goes right does it!... driving car around last day or so and seems once i get a little happy with the right foot it starts making a strange sound in boost over 4000rpm and engine light flicks on and off.... Looks like it back to the workshop it goes on Monday. Hopefully all will be fixed for powercruise on Thursday

its likely to be an occurance of high level knock. engine light doesnt come up unless knock level goes beyound 60 means danger. the sound you heard is probably detonation. i would take it straight back to the tuner for a check up.

does the engine light blink on then off?

Yep, exactly what it does.

already booked in monday. hopefully it gets fixed

Welcome to the world of detonation unfortunately. Not bad power for the mods. If you do little changes, such as a larger exhaust or a different pod filter, it can alter the tune a little. A lot of people don't realise this. There would be nothing wrong with the size of the exhaust, there are plenty of cars producing big hp on 3" systems, so I wouldn't be worried about that. If you want to change pods, i'd do it now before it goes back, or give them it so they can fit it before they retune it.

It's got a new pod in the last few weeks, they just upgraded the CAS the other day and retuned it.... Maybe it's related to that...There's a thread in forced induction where someone is experiencing knock and believes its CAS related

+1 to the exhaust. To many people think the exhaust is the answer when it isnt

Don't mind me just lurking around, I'm a North Sider not rocking a beasty Skyline yet.... but hopefully real soon just wanted to have a look and see what we got on the North Side :D

    • We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.
    • Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)
    • Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
    • I ordered it this morning, I'll disassemble it post pic's and info following delivery.
