Manuals are evil

No

Gladly, yours would no doubt pay a fair bit better than mine

Yes but it can be a shitty job

And slow ;)

No

well see about that uncle Natro

This

Only time an auto should be in a jap car is if its a 2 or 3 speed and used for racing.....

And this

Trannys are good - I love me some Trannys

FYP

Going to be keeping all the associated turbo parts off the 25 skyine incase s*it breaks

Suggestions a for turbos for the dirty? Don't know whether twin or single

Something that's 300 to 350kw max, more than that is fairly unusable without big $$$ tires and borderline too laggy for daily use.

A gt30 with a .82 rear will drive almost as nice as a stock turbo 25, just that it has 300kw instead.

I reckon if you go to the trouble of building a 30/25 then you should choke it up with a small turbo like a GT30.

To get the true benefit of the change I reckon a GT35 or larger is a must.

In saying that Ive never been in a 30/35 running a GT30 variant so not sure how it would drive

Inestment home or residence colin?

Still undecided yet. Its nearly 1k a week rental at the moment so it will be tough to let that go lol. Would still get decent rent if we lived there and rented a few rooms but we dont know yet.

Yeah Ants capt barrel roll is me so wanna get into another one

i had a 35 on mine, too much power for daily duties and enough power to make it about as reliable as a rotary. power came on hard at 3500-4000 and insta wheel spin on anything short of near new 255 semi slicks.

a GT30 with 0.82 would give near on stock turbo spool, but an extra 100kw, a 1.06 rear would tame it down from being so agressive onto boost, but obviously that comes with more lag.

GT30 size turbo is the SMALLEST you can go on the 3L without choking it.

check out the results AL from victoria got with his 3L with GT30, decent power/torque everywhere and the benefit of being able to keep it looking mostly stock if you wanted to, if i was to do my car again. thats the combo i would go for.

Guess mine will be interesting to steer then lol.

I'll have a look for those results. can never look at too many :-)

Congrats Col, I looked up 5 bed townhouses, I think I found the ad. Looks nice! If you are getting the stamp duty concession you need to live in it for 1 year with occupancy starting within one year, and renting out rooms counts as you not occupying it. Something to keep in mind!

these results. i believe the full specs were somewhere in a mountain long thread. but it was from memory it was running a 9:1 comp ratio with some minor head work.

Just realised that i haven't updated my results.

Officially the engine is now out flowing the turbo, but i will not change the combo for anything.

Below is my full tune as it stands now.

The car has been booked in for next week to get the following done:

- Change exhaust and see if any gains are made. Currently i have the more quiet exhaust fitted and would like to compare this result with the Apexi cannon exhaust system i have laying around.

- Play with my cam gears. I still have VVT active, but have modified the std gear to also be adjustable.

- Clean up the afr. Dips too low up in the higher rev range.

- Play with the boost settings, to come on harder on high boost.

- Most important: Find a pair of tyres that will hold traction on the dyno. So far i have tried 4 different pairs of tyres and all have lost traction on full boost at high rpm. I have tried: Hankook K104's, Bridgestone RE55s, Toyo T1R's and another pair of cheap ass tyres from another 33. Anyone know of a good pair of dyno tyres????

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
