I was told yesterday it was running really rich an can't change that till it's tuned but better than lean ?

But they were talking to a Nissan moron ,now I know how other people have felt when I'm going on at a mile a minute on other topics.

Larger turbo on stock ECU will run rich

To protect the engine.

No chance of getting 280kw with just a computer.

As zebra said, chances are that it's got stock injectors, fuel pump and AFM because its the stock computer.

So max with those parts and a tune is around 210-220 but with a larger turbo its going to be a laggy 210-220 I would guess.

So start planning what you want and we can help try come up with what you will need.

The mechanic I seen yesterday said he'd have it running 280kw in a week, but what we spoke about the haltech platinum piggyback I'd have a safe 220-230 but your right about injectors , regulator and pump.

Are I tank fuel pumps a hassle to install?

I'm about to run an injector cleaner through a full tank but still have to find out about the fuel system

Thx

Have a good look at you injectors and compare with photos on google images.

If your keen, take out the fuel pump and do the same.

If you spend a bit of time reading : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/55845-rb25-turbo-upgrade-all-dyno-results/

You will see what is actually needed to make power, and what does nothing.

What i learned is if you have a bigger turbo and want more power, you need more fuel. The standard fuel system only has enough for a slightly bigger turbo, and small power gain.

And you need a computer to run it of course. A Nistune is suitable for anything thats not making heaps of power. ( for rb 25s i dont know exactly how much )

Almost anything else you do to the motor wont give more power, like wanky bov's etc. But things like an upgraded cooling system can keep it in good nik longer.

Dont forget the cheap effective things like exhaust and intake, though you may have most of that done already.

Personally id make it run nice with the turbo you have, and concentrate on handling.

Theres a lot of bits and pieces to make it handle good. It can eat up a lot of cash.

I couldnt use all my 180kw because my diff was stuffed, no point having power you cant use.

Ps: im jealous of your wastegate actuator, thats nice and simple, reliable and adjustable.

fuel regulator usually isnt needed as upgraded injectors dont need more pressure.

unless your going for huge power

How can the mechanic say 280kw without knowing what its got.

Not being a flamin mongrel.

Trying to help.

Haltech piggyback is the most ridiculous thing ive heard.

This isn't 1999 anymore.

Nistune will do everything you need for half the price and as a bonus will actually work.

Car wouldn't run with bigger injectors.

If they are purple they are stock.

Ok.

So what you want is.

And this depends on budget too.

Nistune or a powerfc.

550cc or larger injectors.

Larger fuel pump. Walbro or something similar

Z32 MAF

Metal intake pipe

Then better than stock clutch (im partial to os giken)

Then tune by someone who knows what they are doing...once again my preference to take it to yavus at unigroup engineering in sydney (I wont ever take my car anywhere in canberra, but im a fussy prick) others are happy with a couple of the locals.

There arent many highflows that will do 280rwkws on 98 so expect 240-250 at the most.

Now you have a quick car that needs to stop and steer better. So factor in good suspension stuff. A good diff Centre and work on the brakes. New rotors and good pads are enough for most.

:yes: exactly

Just found out the guy I brought the skyline off in apr cashed in the rego 2 days after I did the revs check an I've got to re rego it , have to either replace the steering rack or stop the leak.

3 new tyres and kill 6Db, also raise the adjustable coil overs they do hight but can I do it or do I have to get pedders or such too, same principle as a motorbike shock I think but I want the adjustment to be exact.

Also thought about adjusting the boost with the adjustable rod but don't know what distance to boost it will make.

That's where I'm at.

Also looking for a maf befote tune.

Cheers

Oh also found out they wound back the tacho it's got about 300000 not 169000 as it read , is anyone honest anymore

But compression check an engine check is healthy so don't know what to think

I will never do biz in vic again. That's 3 times now I've been screwed down there .

Be careful not only in Vic but every other state. Normalllllly - SAU people are fair honest - as we are a little tight knit community. I purchased Rosie from vic (SAU seller) and it was quite a good deal. Nothing wrong with it and all in good nick - all I could ask for was a little less lazier seller :P

cheers

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
