I'd say its all about drive line. When you look at (I know you already would have...) Craigs vid of his stall launch, you can see the punishment that it cops. However-

I think the more and more you guys find out about the VQ25det, the more I see that nissan have choked it from factory- Intake pipe, THAT dump pipe, the throttle, the untuneable computer etc etc.

I think that they would have had a situation on their hands if these stageas started cutting in on their sports market. I mean, it doesn't take much for a Stagea to rip a CPV35 or a Z33. Wouldn't be a good look for Nissan to see the Wagon passing the "sportscar" down the highway!

YES ! I agree & continually thank Nissan for designing an engine that was too good for it's intended purpose and/or market. It means one only need spend a few thousand to remove the breathing restrictions & some electronic ones & it turns into a completely different animal. Maybe the engine guys misread the memo & thought the car was going to weigh 3 tonnes, not 2, & designed it accordingly, lol.

Or, more likely, one of them wanted a Stagea and was making it easy on himself for later. In any case, way to go boys :worship: .

Anyone interested in this again? I would like a re-map as I'm not getting any of the tards in this state to touch my car with an emanage. Do you still have the Japanese translating contact Ryan?

Get on it & report back with your solution.

Good luck.

Sorry Rich, the translating contact was through someone at work who is on maternity leave, so not easy to get them to pick it up.

The guy at G-Zone speaks little to no English. If you're really dead keen, I'd get Jesse Streeter to do the gophering for you and just pay his commission The Japanese lady who was doing the translation for me didn't understand cars, and that made things much harder.

I've gone F-con myself, there are a few other benefits to going with something like that. But is there really NO ONE in Tassie you can trust to tune it?

What Nismo ecu is this? It's difficult down here as no oe that I know of has tuned E Manage and there are only 3 or 4 dyno's I know of.Getting on the boat makes it a very expensive exercise in the end.

My mate has a 2012 wrx sti.

He got a tune for his car online for $100 includes data logging sent back to the guy to adjust it.

Life isnt fair.

Mail order tunes are shit no matter how much data logging you do.

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
