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.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
