So far so good.

Johnny has called and let me know of the current status.

I stuck around there for a little this morning just chatting to the guys (while waiting for a lift to work). They are friendly and seem genuinely interested in looking after you and your business.

Thumbs UP!

Im booked in for Rego and servicing at Trojan today.

I called them yesterday. Johnny answered, he sounds good and sounded more than willing to help me out.

I'll see how it goes.

Question: Where are trojan? i checked the yellow pages and couldn't find them listed.

As said above, Trojan are at:

Unit 2, 45 Heffernan Street

Mitchell

ACT 2911

Phone: 02 6242 6277

Fax: 02 6242 6233

Email: [email protected]

Have had a few mates go through them with great results, I will be taking my car to either them or Ed @ Integra for servicing etc.

Awesome. i'll be giving them a call soon. I'm having boost/misfire problems with the stagea and i've got my bother's skyline in town with major electrics problems too. I'd go to Ed, but mitchell is closer at the moment

Boost Missfire problems around 4000rpm. i put the stock solenoid back in, and now it has a massive spaz when i boost, then i don't get any boost, i think it opens the wastegate totally and doesn't let any pressure build up. anywho, we'll see what someone who knows about cars says.

I'll be coming in on Thursday with the Stagea and Friday with the Skyline. too many cars with dodgy RB25DET's.... wish they'd just work

Last time I was at Jakes, he didn't have a dyno, he used the business next door's, they had an in floor 2wd one [from memory].

Can't remember their business name, it was the shop right next door and immediately towards the city side.

I need to:

Install a Tomei adjustable cam gear, belts and water pump.

Set up my new power FC.

I thought of Jake's [and was happy with his work] but wasn't sure if he was familiar with the gear, I'd go to him again if he 'had the knowledge' so to speak. Otherwise Trojans may be it?

PS I'd consider Ed if he had a Dyno.

PS I'd consider Ed if he had a Dyno.

Ed has access to multiple dynos including Autotech in Fyshwick.

If you want a dyno tune, tell him and you shall recieve it :P Most people stick to street tune as its cheaper and works effectively for what most people want. He has no problem doing the tunes on a dyno though.

Id confidently say he would be the most knowledgeable and experienced with the Power FC in Canberra (come on, tell me at least one other tuner who has tuned a GTR using a D-Jetro (AFM'less) version of the PFC in Canberra? :D)

EDIT: I also forgot to mention, he is the only one in Canberra with the Datalogit laptop software, and he has the genuine Apexi laptop software on its way from Japan. Means he can do much nicer tunes than simply using the hand controller.

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
