l thought it may be race pace from the comments you posted that is why l asked. If you are not happy get a second opinion.

How could you say it was racepace???

no heart feeling towards them, they are awesome bunch of guys....

might speak to them again i guess....

Safe tune, safe boost level - all on a stock motor with stock parts. I don't really see what the issue is here... :ermm:

290rwkw = normal for all of the above. Look @ the before/after graphs though. It's not just about peak power dude.

If you wanna chase power (maybe 30rwkw if you are lucky)...

Injectors - 700

AFM - 700

Pump - 400

Cam gears - 300 (if you dont have already)

Then there is tuning costs for all the new parts and so on. So spend $2500 more for the bit of power, or be happy as is mate.

You'll then make around 300-320rwkw on 20-22psi but it's a question of reliability mate. If you cannot afford the rebuild (8-10k) then don't chase the power.

I think its quite resonable and safe if you are on a budget. Also there is no risk of the turbos shitting a wheel and destroying your motor.

Oh and side point, don't worry about anything bodge has to say - he is just a serial sook that complains about his set-up in every thread that mentions Racepace, yet won't actually get looked at. He'd rather just complain for 12 months about it :rolleyes:

Now that sounds better...atleast that gives me confidence that my car is fine...

i might do the above upgrades as you mentioned to get upto 300-320kW....

I am not too keen to open up the motor yet as everything seems to be fine so far with the motor....i've been told that opening up the motor can cause problems as well in future (comments from normal mechanic, not skyline mechanic)

so, without opening the motor, i can still chase upto 320Kw...thats impressing now and very temptating :glare:

I guess BODGE is well known here on SAU :rolleyes:

You can chase more power - however i would honestly advise against it.

Seems you missed my point in the above, ill try again :)

R33 motors are getting old now like R32 ones - ~15yrs.

If you do not have the budget nor want to rebuild - do not chase that extra 20-30rwkw. Be happy where it is regardless of how tempting it might sound.

Its when you want that "extra 10-20" that shit will go wrong.

fair enough :yes:

ill probably rebuild soon, but not anytime soon yet thou...

thanks for the info mate, now it all makes more sense to me...

*just curious : Are you from racepace too?

Np dude, i'd hate to see you end up with a broken motor and then in the pooper money wise.

Seen it happen to a few forum users & club members over the years and its unfortunate :(

Nope. I just get some of my work done there depending on what i need :)

The previous figures was on the same dyno as well....

I was thinking of getting an opinion for another tuner....

i was been told that if i had smaller wheels, i could get upto 300kW ???

depends on the size of wheels.

wheel size / tyre choice can play a big part of the number that shows up on the dyno.

semii slicks and even soft cheap tyres will show a lower power figure on the dyno.

ive seen cars make different power on different tyres on back to back dyno runs, with wheel swaps inbetween runs.

thats my 2 cents worth.

on a std engine i would stick to safe power as like ash said, std 33 gtr motors are around 12 - 15 years old now.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
