Troy sorry I missed your post the other day, I have used Kent brake and clutch on port rd they are very good and not that dear

Jenna sorry I have no idea for all I know its a high flow as he was saying to my mate for $1750 he could have the turbo and fitted so it must be a bolt on most Garrett require new dump pipes

yeah steve @ racetech has a good reputation.

ash hobson at hackham classic perfomance dyno (chapman road, behind cottage lane) is good with skylines too, loads of good results, but probably not that cheap - drop in and ask for a price.

Jenna, Adelaide Turbo Services can make you up a GT30-based turbo with stock (fully ported) front/rear housings. Get a price from Bill Keen.

Andrew - with the SAFCII I would suggest to also add in an apexi SITC, so you can tune the air:fuel ratio along with ignition timing. Well worth it IMO.

Highly recommended :)

Willall is the go for all your tuning needs - no Disney dyno crap there - just no frills tuning that simply works. On a related topic - big thanks to Martin for tuning the tow rig, an excellent result!

Jaustech at Holden hill are great if you're near that area. Anthony has done most of the work on my car and he definitely knows what he's on about, just have a look at his cefiro. Plus they're great blokes too

That's about what I get in my dead stock R33 GTS-T. In regular commuting traffic my fuel economy hovers around 10.5 to 11 ltr/100km, on whatever the pump 98 RON is I get. And that's with a mighty 128rwkW ;D

My economy is with it at 270rwkw, I actually got about another 50-70 k's per week by changing to a bigger turbo due to rarely being on boost

touch ur toes at ash'es but gets results

^^^ DOH! How many hours had he owned it when he did that?

2 and a half days. Might be a write off, a pillar is moved and floor is creased.

Supposedly he was just putting around and got t boned.

Considering I've already had 3-4 concerned phone calls from people asking if it was stolen recently, the young lad has been driving it hard.

So I doubt it wasn't partly his fault.

Steve Knight racetech in Lonsdale.

Has an AWD dyno too for any GTR owners down that way.

Def my pick for down south....more so for mechanical work than tuning........Troy, he'll be fine for your clutch change-over and belt replacement

ahhh, Martin told me he was going to tune the ZF in your Disco.......how have you found it compared to its previous tune and what gains did you make?

We gained 30+awkw to end up with 175awkw and more importantly gained 100% more torque - I'll default to Martin to share the results from the dyno........

As you know they are already quite grunty for a 4WD, but even more so now and it drives very nicely. Fuel economy should increase now too - test underway currently as I compare the usage on the current tank load.

thanks bud.....I completed a long trip with my Disco pulling a 3 tonne van and it did it every bit as easy as the LC200 which has an extra 1.5 litres and an extra 2 cyls :thumbsup:

Sequential turbo setup is what I'm putting it too (with the small primary and bigger secondary).....the new 3.0L is an awesome engine too......and doesn't burn oil like the LC200 either, LOL

Where is the meet point, and what time, matty? Maybe for me - got the kids, and me & the youngest have a bad cold.

Having said that, we're off in a moment to see Adelaide United vs Gold Coast with a mate.... my children havent been to a live sports match in a number of years (youngest was in a pram last time we went to a sanfl match) so it should be a good night, both kidlings are soccer players & are looking forward to it.

come to the T20 big bash on sunday brendan. even though i pretty much hate that form of cricket, i go just for the atmosphere, especially seeing as the redbacks win one every now and then

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
