Ben, who is feeding you this rubbish............try running -5's (with or without stock boost) and see how they run without a tune....they def have different trim and comp size hence your AFR's will be all over the shop

You're requirement for a tune is based on AFR"S (in this case) not just boost.........I'm not even referring to boost

Cam gear adjusting will affect your valve timing.............a good tune will give you a nice balance between correct AFR's and ignition timing

well this is what ive gathered from the nistune forums and a few other sources

I'd be the first to admit I dont know what Im talking about, which is why imma spend the next 18 months figuring out what I want to do when the time comes - I want to do the brakes/rims/rubbers/suspension and interior over the next year and a bit - performance is not a concern atm

that said, when it does become a priority, it would be good to know wtf is and wtf isnt.

simply telling me that ive been fed rubbish isnt helpful tho.

That's fine, and that's why I said, based on your sentiments towards your current setup, you'd be happier IMO with a -5 setup which is pretty much the next step up from where you are now.

Spending $$ on -7's will not see much (maybe a smidge) difference to your current setup.................R34 N1's are a different story again though (they sit somewhere in between your current setup and the -5's if my memory serves me correctly)

Hope that helps a little............good night all :D

further truth would be even to say that perhaps the next upgrade just would not be worth it for its purpose.

how often does a daily need 300kw in any case?

-D

-7s are the same as 34 n1s

33 n1s are laggy pos

If you're happy with 300kw then you want -9s as they are basically an updated -7, they make more power but have extremely similar spool times. They are however slightly more expensive. -5s need something to help wake them up. Lots of boost is ideal but obviously not for a standard motor. I use poncams. E85 would help massively too. -5s+E85 would be the perfect street setup on a gtr IMO.

-7s or -9s are the turbos you want.

Just go dash 5s... In my opinion they are the perfect compromise between power and response. My 26 with poncams and 18psi makes a nice 320awkw with nice response and fantastic power delivery. Sure the turbos have a lot more left in them but when i build my motor then ill push for more. Until then Im more than happy with my setup

Congratulations to the f**king retard silver skyline owner who was involved in the hit and run death of a motorcyclist this morning. You have held up 100% of the traffic from anywhere in Adelaide to Wingfield.

yeah its pretty bad, i dont understand how its possible to not even realise you hit someone. the news was quick to mention that police are searching for a silver nissan skyline

"silver or maroon nissan skyline" what? they arent similar colours haha

Dohmar, if you're wondering what turbo's to get then you should listen to people with them and they probably would all tell you that any boost level under 18psi is probably not worth your while. its a too laggy setup for between 250-280rwkw. they start coming alive with 18psi. because then when they spool up they go hard!!

i had my 2860's for ages, started on a stock motor and they were crap, laggy as full boost by 5000rpm and only made 210rwkw on 14psi. this was with all stock ecu fuel pump and injectors.

with a rebuild motor the comp was much better cos it wasnt so tired. it managed 250rwkw with still std ecu and 14psi

it wasnt until i got my nistune and injectors and fuel pump that i could push 18psi into it and thats when they came alive. i ran 320rwkw on boostworx dyno.

IMO they're a good turbo for the compromise between a mid 300kw car that you still want to use on the street.

so if you want response and are not looking to be in the 300 club then don't buy them, stick with your N1's or go for -7's or -9's

Okay the ARC intercooler didnt make any difference!

Damn!!

it probably cools better but obviously wasnt the thing causing the flow restriction.

the only things left could be the STD cams or the 3in exhaust.

i'd love the car to have a lumpier idle, but i think with possibly being a home owner in 4 weeks time is going to put a serious halt on getting cams.

looks like i'll have to be satisfied with 365rwkw for a while.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
