Ok just ran up Ron's R34, mixtures down low were around 14.0's now much better. And i turned on the 02 sensor which i must have left off last time,

Went from 182kw to 205kw with some more timing, tune was limited last time by the stock dump pipe which has been upgraded since.

Went for a drive with Ron before putting on the dyno, theres no hesitation as such but the boost controller does a poor job holding boost and is oscillating as it comes on which is the feeling he is getting.

Smoke test came up fine

Thanks Jez the cars running much smoother n better across the rev range now and feels more crisper and lighter than when I brought it in. The groaning/ hesitation/ lack of power around 2500-3200rpms seems mostly gone now, due to re-adjusting the maps/timing. Lets hope the fuel economy wont be 20L/100kms now- fingers crossed.

That bit of hesitation you mentioned doesnt worry me, it would be the bit inconsistent boost control with the manual T controller as you say, its not bad at all,. It was the lack of power/groaning for few seconds under hard throttle that was bad, the touch up tune this morning has killed a lot of it off thankfully. Much nicer to drive now should I say again. Thanks Jez :)

Just went for a proper hard spin and I confirm that groaning/ hesitation/ power loss is completely gone, pulls clean and hard from 2800-7000rpms- no doughiness whatsoever, feels light as a bird and much faster than before @187rwkw, now @206rwkw, not much diff on paper, big difference on road. Beaut :). .. Ah cant wait now to see what the Precision will be like

Yeah mate, having been in Micks blindingly fast 335rwkw demon, even my 206rwkw feels wuite smile-inducing fast on the street when u give it, and so bloody responsive now to drive, now I realize now how paper rwkw doesnt mean much, but road feel/drive does..cannot upload dyno sheet from phone but it did make 110rwkw @3000rpms.. Now it feels like a Skyline not yaris. :)

wonder how long you'll be happy lol.. im betting you'll get the power bug soon and go gt30 territory..its an addiction..

sell that turbo and get a gt3076 and start frying 2nd and 3rd.. then you'll think shit.. this is good.. hahah

Hahaha glad you didnt leave any stains on my seat when i took you for a run Ron because most people generally tell me to stop when the needle is getting close to being off the clock :whistling:

Glad Jezzy boy found another nest of killerwasps under the hood for you,how far off is the 5558?

You best be bringing it back out west into the sticks when you get that PT bolted on so we can see what she can do :P

Hey Mick how you goin man, nah I really wanted u to give it more stick harder to feel it to the max but was too polite to ask you as you were so kind to take me for such a nice spin. I give my car a pretty hard time when I can lol, living in Sydney doesnt allow me to do much of this anyway :unsure: ...I mean this is what these cars are meant for.. The PT was ordered a week n a half ago so I will defo be bringin it out to the sticks, but I dont expect it to be as lowdown snappy as yours as it will be on 98 not e85... :woot: But she better make at least 300rwkw hehe..

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
