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.

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
