Nice work Rob!
Bit of a let down with the fact it's not hitting 200kw but not too long and you will be there.

I have decided I'm not going to chase the power right now.

Going to get my car sorted so that it drives well and handles well then I will head down the E85 path.

Radiator, exhaust wrap, muffler and gauges are all going in very soon.

Then I'm going to find time to take it to capital steering so they can tell me what needs upgrading to get it handling like it's on rails.

Ohh and Brakes! they will be added to the list as well as an oil cooler :D

yeah, Rob dont feel bad about not making 200rwks

standard RB25 turbo will never truly make that (for long) the 190-195 is a realistic figure

also we at what 2000ft above sea level.

engines lose ~3% of their power per 1000ft

Also, just because it was a Caltex servo, doesnt mean its Caltex fuel

fouls your plugs mate

If you want some value I recommend Liqui Moly fuel system cleaner

and if you hadn't already done it when you bought the car another Liqui Moly product - at your next oil/oil filter change use Engine Detox (just let it idle - don't boost it !)

Better than any other product on the market - IMHO

Yeah just in case I get SH!T fuel again... Oneshot.

I think? I put some NULON Injector Cleaner through it when I bought the car.

I always put a bottle of NULON E20 Engine Treatment in at every oil change.

(I seem to use Nulon Products alot. :D)

Never used an engine flush etc...

It's also colder the higher you get so surely that evens it all out? :P

Good idea.

Even my 180kw needs more grip, and i thought i had a good suspension setup.

Felt the Power. :woot:

Plugged in my ECUtalk to see that the timing is bang on 5o instead of 150.

When tuning, they had it on 150 but was not happy so did what they could to make it happy.

So 50 and a backed off tune is what resulted. Seems my Timing belt must be out by a tooth or two. :/

All will get fixed and the power will reveal itself. More to come? Yes Please! :D

I think I have heard of people intentionally putting the Exhaust? cam out by a tooth for some sort of gain...

Does anyone know anything about this??

Nah, I just want it to be as it should be, but do people do this tooth skipping thing and is it possible that this was done intentionally for some benefit?

Tried rolling guards, with my DIY tool.

The roller part is not up to it, its too short and when the heatgun is applied, it gets soft and flexes. :/

Or the guards are too stiff, yeah thats it i didnt fk up it was nissan. :P

Cleaning the Volks, not sure whats safe, so using bug and tar remover.

Its safe but not as effective as id like.

Scrubbed till my hands numb, still not clean.

Its the inside of the rim thats so hard to clean, the rest is ok.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
