Just a word of warning: No ute makes life harder, mines gone, no more piles of sand or gravel, you cant transport this stuff in a wagon! Stuffing a gearbox in a boot sux, wheels and tyres in the bac

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.

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

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

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
