That's the problem mate, ECU will allow your set up to be tuned to its full potential and not blow the motor,

Nistune like mentioned is about a grand or go the trusty apexi power fc but talk to the person who will tune the car and see what he likes to tune

The tune is the most important part it ties it all together you should get 180 with a tune with some luck with your setup to make 250 you will ner bigger injectors new turbo and a tune. I think many people will back me up on this one ( do it once and do it properly) Spend the cash it makes life slot easier

how much you think it will make if i have the stock ecu

you should be able to get up around 170 to 180kw (or more) with that turbo at 14psi. sounds like you have some other issues going on there. may be a timing issue, or fuel issue (lack of fuel or too much). i'd start by getting a dyno run on a different dyno (to rule out a low reading dyno) as well as see if they will give you a dyno graph with AFR's on it so you can see how rich it is running.

      I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.

      Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.

      gauge needle removal

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task

      Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
