Yeah you're right Scotty. Double checked my figures today, and the injectors are maxing out. The FPR will get me out of the shit short term but I'll be getting it tuned shortly. You get the email from the HKS guys about the tune?

No mate, no emails about the HKS...

So Cihan should disclose all his tuning secrets so other tuners can copy his work? It won't happen... Too much time has been invested by him into the VQ25det now to just give the information away, I think my car has over 200 dyno runs on it already...

Not far to drive over Ryan for peace of mind...

Its not, but it becomes a pain in the arse to go back and forth every time I need a tune. Would rather work with someone local who is good and is interested in spending the time. There are a couple who have expressed interest, one with their own dyno.

It's interesting how this happens; your guy (and you) had to go through the learning process, and now there is more demand; the guys who put it in the "too hard basket" suddenly need a hand.

I don't doubt you have plenty of your own cash tied up in the entire process Scotty; no way 200+ dyno runs is a cheap process.

If your guy is good and interested; that is the ideal combination!

Maybe it would be worthwhile him investing his time and effort, so that he can hold himself up as one of only a small number of tuners that can work on the M35.

If you build it; they will come.

Exactly Dale, and that 200 runs isn't including the Emanage learning process before it.

I do honestly hope there are other tuning options and tuners in the future for the VQ25det, and if the guys at Nistune finally get on board we will all benefit. The HKS software is the best option available to us at the moment but there are so many things I would like to adjust that it doesn't have the maps for...

Agreed. Surely if your tuner is interested and is competent he doesn't need his hands held by someone that's done all the work...

Not for free anyway!

My tuner doesn't Jethro, it's the HKS guys who needed more information. The information they needed I don't think we could get from Scotty's tune anyway, as he's running non standard injectors.

Andrew now has these for sale on his web site: http://amperformance.com.au/product/miscellaneous/nissan-m35-stagea-performance-cold-air-intake-pipe

I will hopefully have a group buy price shortly for all those people who've contacted me.

So after installing, good increase in response and power.

Need less throttle to get the car rolling and coasting on legal speeds.

Car seems to have more rasp in exhaust note and engine feels slightly less smooth in the rev range.

Does this sound normal ?

cheers

Wow what a difference the intake makes on stock tune.

I've put the power duct cover back on and blocked half the stock snorkel to reduce airflow until my tune.

Back to normal, engine smooth, better idle and less noisy.

How's that for home tuning !

Block off the f**king intake...

So is it possible this intake could cause the ECU to change timing ?

It feels like a late spark or something.

Still surprised I have rough idle and engine rev.

Blocking off power duct has helped a little but not much.

Just had another thought.

Maybe air is coming in through the join, which is after the AFM.

There's no physical seal on these,just metal to metal.

Gonna try and get a clamp around it.

A clamp probably won't help; but a solid application of tape around the join will tell you if you're on the right track.

  • 1 month later...

Yep these intakes DO leak between the middle join.

When it's fitted the two halves are pulled out a fair bit stretching the spring.

After doing a smoke test, it was visible.

So had it removed and sealed with silicone.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
