Do you guys have a dyno down there? .... I'd sure love to dyno my car while it is still fairly standard .... before the LS1 dyno day (when I hope to have my exhaust etc on by then).

What sort of dyno/dyno-tune deal could you get me? :D *cheeky*

Yes we have a dyno. I'll speak to Tim, and get back to you regarding a dyno run on your S15. I'm sure I can twist his arm regarding a deal for you Andrew and all the Skyline Aussie members.

Or otherwise give RPM a ring at 82772266. And ask for Ivan from next Monday.:D

Ivan,

You'll be seeing me from time to time then mate :( I've had a number of modifications done by (or in conjunction with) Tim, Mick, & Steve.

Come to think of it, you'll be getting your hands dirty on a 1UZFE (4.0L DOHC V8 Soarer eng') transplant into a Hilux Surf very very soon :uh-huh: My father in-law is booked in to have his turbo diesel Surf given some mumbo!

I'll be seeing you soon myself, I've got a few basics I want to get done before the dyno day, gotta’ squeeze those last few rwkw :D

Cheers,

Matt.

Andrew Nightcrawler, we can do the power run for u for $40, we can 'tweak' it up to get more rwkw for your 200sx.

If you want a dynotune it will be $137 plus parts. Ring RPM and we will fit u in before the LS1 dyno day. Mention Ivan.

Thanks Matt and Aaron. Will be looking forward for the hilux!!

Thanks Ivan .... I'll definitely take you up on that!

Congrats on the job btw .... I'll bet you can't wipe the smile off your face - get to play with hot cars all day *lucky bastard* :(

hi. just wondering what the cost is involved with that?

thinking of doing it my self.. did you use a crown engine or a soarer?

thanks,

Dave

Ivan,

Thanks mate :) I just want to do a basic once over, change fluids (diff/box/eng/filter) I'm too slack to do it myself & with the hoist it's much easier :( I've already got all the fluids/parts so it'll be a pretty simple. Hopefully I can drop in around the end of the month?

I'm also thinking about trying a set of NGK Iriway7's too? Nobody stocks them on the shelf in Adelaide yet (to my knowledge?) & Autobarn want $30+ea!

For those that didn't know: Iriway/Iritop/Irimac are the newish range of NGK Iridium plugs designed with performance, high comp' & boost levels in mind. They only come in 7,8 & 9 heat ranges. According to AB & NGK rep's HKS plugs are re-badged versions of these plugs?!

For more info read here - http://www.ngkspark.com.au/bulletin_SB01-1.htm

dAVE,

Give Tim a call @ RPM PC, he can give you a good run down as he put the package together. The engine they've sourced was from a Soarer.

I suggested the conversion to the Michael (father in-law) & he said, "Yeah lets do it!" The whole package drive-in / drive out will come to ~9-10k, that includes the g/box, clutch & flywheel set-up sourced by Michael via Melb'. I'm still working on convincing him to add a supercharger :uh-huh:

Cheers,

Matt

Matt,

We can do the plugs. But I would recommend the NGK BKR7EVX which is a platinum no7 heat range plugs for mild 1/2 serious street car.The Iridium ones are good for SERIOUS race applications but they are proven no better on the dyno for HP than the BKR7EVX.

When Tim was in Brunei tuning some cars for street drags, there were some cars over there which were running the Iridium heat range 8 and 9, thay were TOO COLD for daily driving and were fouling up. They were then replaced with the BKR7EVX and were running clean all week and were not missing at all.I'm sure the Iridium are a great thing but you will probably end up favouring the BKR7EVX for your car.

The Iridium and the BKR7EVX retail for $30each and $22 each respectively. But I can do them cheaper if you ring me at the end of this month.

Hope this helps,

Ivan.

G'day mate,

Really appreciate the help dude!

I'm actually already running BKR7EVX's so I guess I'll stick with 'em :) I've noticed a few GT-R owners have mentioned they use them too, & we all agree they're an excellent plug! I guess it's a case of, "when it ain't broke don't fix it" :)

Hope Corey's rail runs some good numbers next weekend!

:(

My car is going in to RPM this Thursday.

Make sure you don't use the powerwindows.. New tint is going on Wednesday Afternoon :D

Fixing up the thermo's.. I need 2 relays for the Twin Thermos.. :)

I was going to get it tuned but I've got it running pretty well now, I've dropped the timing to std now that I'm making 15psi up at 7000rpm, don't want to risk pinging in the hotter weather we are coming in to and i've also wound the Fuel pressure Bleed all the way in as i don't like the idea of it leaning out at all in the mid range.

Anyway it feels quicker than it did when it dyno'd at 156rwkw.

Turbo is coming.. soon.. :) Then I'll get the ECU re-mapped and bring it back to tims to get a possibly final Dyno Read out :)

I'm aiming for at least 200rwkw.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
