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.

    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging. Cheers 
    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
