Nahhh, I open my ears and listen to the glory :D

Then when they hand me the dyno printout, I squint my eyes and ask where the hell the power is glare.gif

Give then more money they give you more power!!! I'm going to throw my car on the dyno just to get a power run and suss out my afr's. I got DVS JEZ to tune my car but a while ago it pinged it's ass off on high boost so I pulled timing out from everywhere lol. Still feels the same but no ping.

As a side note question then. (have no fear i will read more before jumping in) but the dyno? I . . . well hows it work? does it require a piggy back unit or new ecu to be worth the tuning or to be able to be tuned? or once again should i get my head down and search for it properly :P

Yes your car is untunable. Read up "which ecu for my car?" have a look at the Nistune website (why do I need a Z32ecu?) and PFC v Link/Vipec

Try and get a drive (or at least a ride) in some modified cars to see just what power level you really want. You might be able to avoid the mistakes made by people like me who buy stuff and then have to sell it and buy more stuff because their goals change!

But as said above with decent supension/tyre/brake upgrades you can actually drive faster with the same power.

Sorry still learning . . whats PFC?

Sorry, should have explained better. It's an aftermarket ecu produced my apexi (as stated above). Its an older type ecu, without things like individual cylinder tuning, but..

It is tried and proven to be a top performing ecu. Almost everyone can tune it, and it can basically handle anything thrown at it. Its only real limitations are those from the afm's that are used.. But there are ways around it :)

But wait.. There's more! :D

Have a read through the FAQ and the external link that is in there, great stuff :)

That external link is perfect! everything I could of needed to know, i like it. Ha well youve sold me but guy I am ive decided to run low on funds . . . just so i cant go out and buy things i wont need . . . . But ill keep it in mind for when money comes around my way. You wouldnt happen to know rough NZ pricing though? or do you think just exchange rate would give me a good enough estimate?

Yer I had a wee search around and theyre now producing the FC datalogic, Which seems to be the upgraded version of the controller? Ill keep it up on the list of things to search for when cash is available. With personal experience would you recomend this as a starting mod as apposed to after a few mods first?

Having an ecu first will allow you to get better gains from any modifications you do afterwards :)

Datalogic is tuning and data logging software so an add on to the PFC.

Here is a PFC http://www.trademe.c...n-449954201.htm

but there is no reason why you can't buy a second hand one from Aus. If you are in NZ I would suggest your main options are

(cheapest) Z32 ecu with Nistune

or also cheap: megasquirt but you really need to be a computer geek to run one of these although this guy will set them up for you:

Power FC

HKS F-Con (good support in Auckland and Wellington).

You can see from my sig that I have a G4 Link which is made in ChCh and still developed and supported by the factory. Purchase, installation and tuning came to about $3500.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
