haha yeah i was a little worried about that, he said the car was slipping off the dyno but he had no one to help keep it down.

Interesting. What tyres are you using? Shouldn't be slipping when its only making 270 odd rwkw.

Dunlop 18s, but i did recently put stock suspension in and the shocks arent in the best condition. He assured me it is nothing to do with the tune as the afr and boost graphs are fine. im putting the coilovers back in after this weekend then ill get a power run and see how it goes, or ill be at the dyno day if that is still happening, interested to see what i make on a mainline.

200... I hope there was some sarcasim in that, Im sure the figure wont drop 70kw. Either way im happy with the increase in power and how the car runs from changing to E85. I know how good Willall have proven to be but at the moment i am happy to take my car to Boost Worx.

Jet's F6 went from about 420rwkw on a DD to around 360 on a mainline

I went from 270rwkw on DD to 250rwkw on a mainline. There is definately a discrepancy - that said, do the ramp rates even correlate between the two brands?

Just got my car back from BoostWorx, Made a 30kw and 50nm gain.

When does it get full boost in 4th? I have an AX53B70, full boost is at 3400rpm in 4th (no brake tricks, not up hill). Yours looks a touch higher from the dyno - but it's the road that matters.

When mine came off the dyno it took until ~3800rpm in the road to hit 15psi. I richened mine up a touch (about 5%) in the mid-range on the road and it helped ALOT with 3000-4000rpm. (98 octane).

hey guys first things first 30rwkw is on the money for a e85 changeover congrats on doing it bud its great fuel and works wonders for $ to rwkw

but no real reason why a car is allover the place on a dyno, the setting up and strapping down part is just as important as the tune imho not just for safety but for a honest as possiable result on ur progress.

now the dyno debate is a killer dont try to work it out it just is what it is .....farked lol but i will say this there are many workshops in s.a that know what there doing and then others that dont have a bloody clue. this is where willall get big props they are very particular on the strapping down process and there mainline dyno ..............ill say this very honestly ..............seems to be bang on the money for rwkw vs mph not everyone likes to used the same workshop as others and so on but r33 a mate has was tuned on e85 at willall eflex of all crap and came out with 240rwkw on 98 then a direct 270rwkw after the e85 tune, so ur seeing what u should be

yes pete the willall dyno makes the men stand up lol but had a fair idea the first d/d was down hill,

just for a larf we seem a bf f6 typhoon do 275 on one dyno then coupla hrs later 360rwkw on another .....................boggles the mind

but just remember we have a strip now so no guess work, mph is a true reflection for power.................get to the strip lads

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
