Car is back, Serviced and tuned. Making 341hp with more to come, I ran out of Dyno money because my radiator decided that it didn't need a top pipe connector.

Feels really responsive under power and feels nice and granny spec when cruising around town in higher gears. Not running rich now and when you hit the hammer she really goes.

A bit more work will pull another 30 - 40hp (to tune the duty on the ebc to keep the boost up at the end of gears) but I am leaning towards going to a GT35R.

Really happy with Richard at All Star Tuning in Brendale.

Car broke down this morning on the way to work. Lost power during gear change and wouldnt kick over again. Hoping its just a battery related issue and i can jump start it. Unfortunately due to having to get to work i had to ditch her on the ride of the road, walk back the 2kms to home and grab my daily

No that feel, my bluebird decided it wanted to break this morning as well the bar between the throttle and the butterfly valve for the air flow came loose, zip-tied back together for a temp fix

That sucks man. Ive never HAD to leave my car sitting on the side of the road for long. Hope its something simple

I have, when my fuel pump shit it self, oh and when I broke two wheel studs, oh and when I ran out of fuel :)

After coming back to the car and not being half asleep and 4am in the morning.. I'm feeling its fuel pump. Kicks over fine, can't hear the fuel pump when I turn the car on.. Pumps brand new so hopefully it's an easy fix

So the part that's broken on the bluebird I'm gonna have to get from Nissan themselves anyone know where on ecan go to get a engine bay break down image or now the name of the linkage that goes from the end of the throttle cable to the butterfly valve?

Through nissan for some reason I doubt it. Is there a specific branch of nissan to ring for spare parts or should any branch be able to help? Might even price up a new oil bypass pipe for the skyline.

Edit: did a little interwebs sleuthing and yeah probably under $10.

Metro Nissan @ Windsor and Village Nissan @ Petrie I have found both to be very helpful, as long as you can give them the part number.

Their willingness to look up part numbers for imports though will depend on who you speak too, their mood, the time of day, alignment of the planets, etc.

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
