pics in my profile garage if u need proof 294.7rwhp until it leans out.

need bigger injectors cos im only running 6.5psi :yes:

look at mod pics

thanks to dean at WA automotive specialists in perth, and Jamie for his MEGASQUIRT ecu which did what a haltech couldnt

goes fkn hard :cheers:

the ABS light is coming up on the dash and we cant figure out why. anyone got any ideas? doing the dyno power run tomorrow so will post the sheet up after work to keep you number guys happy lol. no matter the figure its a different animal than it was :yes: might have to plumb that screamer back in though its f@#!$n noisy!

also did anyone have a funny little aerial on the drivers side dash in their v35? i thought it was something to do with the toll roads but it was conected to lots of little modules and boxes one which contained a brand new brown nissan key that didnt fit my car????? does this have something to do with the abs maybe? beats me.

Just get a scanner and read the diagnostic code. That will lead you in the right direction. When you can achieve full boost very early, I'm not sure a screamer was the right choice. Mines plumbed.

the kit came with the screamer but ill weld it up tomorrow got plenty of tube and flanges handy anyway. not showing any codes thats why im confused. any ideas about that little antenna thingy? it was wired into a lot of different things

Think it might be to do with the security and GPS system in the pop up dash. Just leave it alone. Nothing to do with abs. Abs computer is different to motor ecu, so codes won't come up with the manual process I think. Needs compatible scanner. Otherwise don't worry about it.

Remember you have stock injectors before you go into heroic power attempts...make sure your tuner is monitoring knock.

let the missus drive last night cos i had a few. not a good idea lol whats the best cleaner to use on leather seats???

shes driven my mates boss270 and thought that was a fast car,until last nite never again methinks

interesting to read.that works out to 220kw @ wheels by my calculations.

for comparison, my HKS GTsupercharge'd V35 makes 234kw @ wheels at 7psi max boost.

so, basically similar results whether you go turbo or supercharged in terms of peak power. i wonder how the power deliveries would compare?

what injectors are you running currently?

i suspect your setup will be able to produce more peak power once you sort out the tuning/injectors and whatnot. i guess depends how much boost you want to push taking into account reliability..

its actually 237rwkw but whos counting.

stock injectors at the moment so im not gonna up the boost until i get bigger ones.

im making roughly 18hp for every pound of boost i add but ill sit on it for a while.

the kit was making 270kw@ wheels @9psi on the z it came off but that was a 6m/t

each to his own i guess

i like the fact i can change boost whenever i want and that noone over here has a turbo v (that i know of) while there are a few s/c on Vs and Zs

plus that turbo does whistle nicely

hi all

car is runnin sweet apart from a couple of little issues

1 : cel,slip,and vdc lights wont turn off

i think its because the megasquirt runs the injectors now so gonna wire in some resistors to factory ecu to trick it. tried manual reset but that works until i turn car off again then lights come back once i restart. annoying!

2 : installed an Apexi turbo timer cos its a lazy mans tool so it suits me fine,but,it only seems to work if i drive a short distance. any more than 5kms it wont turn on. is there i setting i can adjust or just swap it for another? also annoying!

1000cc injectors for xmas then a run a 8psi

cheers

1: go and read the error codes and hope to hell they are not for Knock. That will tell you where to go- could be for too rich/ too lean, or misfire, or CAS AFM etc etc.

2: Useless Turbo timer is useless. Turbo is water cooled. As long as you not coming off a racetrack and turning it straight off, there is no point. Easiest thing to go - just don't flog it for the last 5 mins of your journey. Rip it out and sell it to some other bloke.

i also have CEL permanently on - dynoe'd it to make sure no knock/leaning etc when I purchased the car and all good. i cant remember the error code, but i beleive it is to do with the oxygen sensors in the cats - they are very sensitive and as soon as one reads a value outside the normal range (which happens all the time running supercharger with aftermarket ecu,larger injectors, etc) it activates the CEL.

i have also been told this by an official HKS approved worshops in australia who have seen this commonly on super- and turbo-charged VQ's.

not sure what the deal with your slip and vdc lights though..

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
