hi guys i just got my car back from the tuners after having a hypergear highflow fitted after my standard turbo spat both wheels.

the car went on for the first dyno session and was pulled off as the standard suction pipe was collapsing and vct was not working and the car made 144kw on 13psi.

i ended up needing to get a jjr suction pipe but there was a problem plumbing my bov to the new suction pipe and it was blocked off for the tune.

the vct problem was suspected to be the solenoid and that was changed but nothing was still working and the signal was checked from the ecu to the solenoid and it was all good but the vct would not turn on. they tried to get it working manually but also still had no luck in doing so and the car was tuned without vct and made 252kw at 18psi backing down to 17.

upon getting the car back it was fine untill i got off the m5 ( i did not need to stop on the m5 so i didnt notice the problem) upon getting off on my exit the car started hunting for revs and was about to stall if i didnt rev it.

i came home and turned the car off and couldnt do much more as there was almost no light to start looking around in the engine bay.

im just looking for some answers as i did not want to be left without a car during the holidays and it is heading that way as it seems

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
