Cheer and if anyone has the above mentioned bits for sale in SA let us know Cheers!

RB20 (R32?) Actuator - http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/salisbury-north/engine-engine-parts-transmission/r32-r33-rb20-rb25-parts/1053295328

Not mine, no idea who it is, don't know if it is the right one, 2 minutes searching....

Edit - another one - http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/kidman-park/other-parts-accessories/nissan-parts-r32-s13-s15-skyline-silvia-180sx/1049901329

And a Z32 ECU - http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/para-hills/other-parts-accessories/parts-300zx-z32-tt-manual-2-seater-ecu-black-carpet-interior-/1054098498

SO let me get this straight

this

Z32 (300ZX) or R32 ECU plus a Nistune daughter board - this will allow a tuner to modify the factory tune

R32 Wastegate actuator (10 psi vs 5psi stock)

or an aftermarket ecu like the power fc at this stage seems like my best bet for a bit more usable power.

Also worth noting that a PFC and a commander allows you to monitor and change settings easily. Nistune requires a license and cable as an extra cost. It is another thing to consider before committing one way or the other.

Cheers mate second hand ok for the pfc found one with controller for about 700. Would i still need the r32 actuator as well?

Being able to monitor some settings is pretty handy IMO. There is an extra cost for the cable and license and should be accounted for if choosing Nistune to get this functionality.

I have used both ecu's and both are good so I have no inherent bias for a street car.

You are spot on about people messing things up....but we can only hope we are advising sensible people.

I've got an R32 Rb20det factory wastegate actuator (10psi).

according to the gauge I had it was actually 0.8Bar which is more like 11.75 psi. Depends slightly on your exhaust and FMIC set up, and where you source boost from for the actuator.

anyway it's sitting in a box doing nothing let me know if you want it

You in adelaide mate? would be keen flick us a message.

I had about 7psi before i put the front mount in and now i get 9psi after the install.

is the z32 ecu good value at $200 second hand? Say if i go to jaustech or morpower can they supply the nisstune board to suit or would i have to source that my self. Looking at $900 for a tune so price wise looking pretty good at the moment. I would like to run 10-12psi once tuned fingers crossed.

Also read through the rb25det dyno sticky and there seems to be a huge variance in power with same mods. Would most put it down to a dud motor or just flogged out.

The Z32 seems good value. You can get Nistune to install the daughterboard for you, as previously posted they are in Adelaide. Have a read of http://www.nistune.com/equipment-products-type2.php - $300 installed

If one of those actuators are still for sale I would grab it - as posted (GTSBoy?) they can be hard to locate as everyone with an RB25Det wants one.

There are cheaper tune options in Adelaide. We went to Graham West & it cost $350 - we got 215RWKW with the mods listed in my original post, although we did have a base tune for similar mods already. Very happy with the attention to detail & the results.

How many people does the power fc hand controller actually help?

Everyone i see it just confuses them and the mess stuff up with it!

helped me when I couldn't get 98 and put in 95 RON.. just went into the controller and trimmed of 3 degrees of timing - happy days..

not to mention I ran the Apexi Boost Kit too.. so hand controller was tits.

these days, wouldn't touch that dinosaur.. rawr lol

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
