Sounds good I'm even close to brendale aswel :) the car came with 3" turbo back exhaust, bigger intercooler, splitfire coilpacks, pod filter apparently a larger fuel pump

Have a chat with Richard about what power you want to achieve and what your budget is, He will point you in the right direction.

Check the forums out too, depending on what power you want to make you may want to look at an upgrade to your turbo, injectors and a good quality ecu.

Will do, the car is making 271hp at the moment and it got dyno'd like two weeks ago because of the upgrades the last owner made, I have a feeling the tune it has could be better from some of the responses I feel in the car, I'm really wanna make 300hp and iv been told the injectors from stock need to be upgraded so I was looking at 700cc Bosch injectors and apexi ecu and if course upgrade to a new turbo. I'm aware 700cc is big but I can only see myself trying to get more power once iv reached my goal of 300hp

I run 660cc Injectors and they are getting close to max @ 377hp on pump fuel, Best bet is to work out how much power you want to make endgame as this will save having to buy injectors twice.

Apexi Power FC's are OK but a Haltech or something similar is better bang for buck if you're looking at going beyond 300hp as they are better suited to Flex fuels and such (this does not mean the power fc isn't good just that other options are available that are better suited for high HP applications).

This may seem like a lot to take in right now but with some dedicated reading and having conversations with members will teach you a lot and save you a massive sum of money as every man and his dog on here has built a skyline in just about every possible combo you can get, Looking at what does and doesn't yield results will save you so much time and cash. 300HP is a good goal, what model Skyline did you buy?

At this stage I have no end goal but this being my first turbo car I could

Like something functional but also with a very nice power figure, iv had a little look at haltechs but I couldn't tell you any differences from the apexi so I'll do some homework tomorrow and just quickly what's a "flex fuel"? And I bought myself a r34 gtt

Flex fuel is e85 . Now there is a catch with that as you can tune for E85 only or tune the car to run on anything from plain pump all the way up to e85. To my knowledge Apexi won't do the flex fuel set up the others will. Personally I have been looking a a Link g4 extreme for mine. (HR31 coupe) so I can run it on flex fuel,

Best you let google be your friend on that term and add haltech or link to the search term.

Actually CLICK THIS.

I am switching from a wolf v500 to haltech unit for my flex tune. Haltech have better support lately, that's my opinion though.

How will they tune for flex fuel though? Just keep mixing e85 and 98 to get different % ratios?

I for one dislike Haltech!!!! I had an e11V2 and after a whole 18 months it had an issue and when contacted, Haltech said they no longer provide service for my particular model as they have moved on to the Platinum range. The guy even went on to try and sell me one!!! After sales service is very dodgy. A mate sent his ecu back to them with an issue and it was returned with a hole drilled through it and a note to say they couldn't fix it...

I now have a Wolf ecu and couldn't be happier!!!

f**k that sounds dodgey, you would thin haltech would help regardless just because its a haltech product. You guys have got me thinking now :) do my research and ask some more questions.

Scre48 mayo ask what's being done to your car?

Nothing extra at this stage. Just not happy with the current tune and way car is running.

If yours isn't making more power on pump fuel than mine when you get it back I'll buy you a beer to comiserate.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
