Hey guys,

Sorry to post a new thread as I've already posted this in the wanted to borrow thread, but this is urgent and I'm aware some people probably won't look in the other thread.

So basically my car is booked in for a tune on the 24th of Sept, but I have lost the valve seat from my Turbosmart Compgate 40 and no dealers in Perth will have any in stock for 2-3 weeks. Obviously without this I won't be making any boost, so the tune is pointless and I will miss out on Powercruise. If anyone has one I could borrow so I can get my car tuned, I will be your best friend!!

Either PM me or send a text on 0431047984. Cheers guys!

Martin.

This time, its probably not the fact that no one likes you but that no one has one..... :rolleyes:

They're a popular gate, I'm sure someone somewhere has one. Also, that first reason you mentioned is just preposterous :P

Have you tried an Eastern States supplier?

That will fit in a 1kg overnight airbag, delivered before 12:00 next day, usually before 10:00 ....

Yeh I've tried, it seems nobody keeps any stock. Turbosmart HQ said they would need to get it in from overseas. Australian product with no product in Australia, it's great.

Is that the O ring sits inside the gate and seals against the piston? I can make you one out of stainless steel for $60 express posted. Funny how many people have lost that part.

PM sent, thanks Stao.

Indeed :D

Car made 350rwhp @16psi. Also made 350rwhp @20psi, so it's got a restriction holding it back somewhere. But it will do for now :D It'll still be at Powercruise making a bit of noise ;)

Ahh I think I might remember your car there! I remember seeing a 34 that I was pretty sure was stock. If we end up on the track together we shall have to have some runs! You know... for science ;)

A quick question.

after i got my car back it does what i think to be excessive backfireing when revving down.

Say im coming to a set of lights, 3rd down to 2nd , with 2nd starting at 3000 revs, it backfires all the way down from 3000 to 1000.

Now its not just 1 backfire, its several and only happens when my foot is NOT on the accelerator.

My guess is to much fuel while decelerating?

( it does sound cool.....but gets anoying...)

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
