I hate cars :)

You have a torquey responsive >500whp pump gas GTR, even if there may be bugs to iron out it probably smashes most people here's pump gas cars in terms of all around power delivery even while hobbled. I'm playing a tiny little violin for you right now, thinking how little I'd complain if I had what you have right now :P

haha, do you think I would keep spending money on the heap of shit if it was not my baby :)

Thanks for your input. Hopefully when this is all over I will go over the thread and see how it matches up with the findings and hopefully a happy outcome .

Get a bigger Violin, I can't hear you :cheers:

What's controlling boost, Pete? The haltech or the boost controller? Maybe the boost controller is just being used as a digital display?

I do not know , the Boost controller is functioning but apart from that I would not have a clue , if it is just a display or controlling it. Mick ask me to have a look at something and I will do that tomorrow.

Only a week or so to go, so I guess I will find out soon enough ??

Still think it's excessive back pressure due to too small a exhaust housing

.....as asked 5 pages ago, have you had the back pressure tested, my car shares similar issues to this and I have huge back pressure.

Haha he has a smaller turbine with a smaller housing with a bigger engine being pumped up by a higher flowing compressor. It's gonna be awful if yours is bad :(

Yup, I would say so....mine's kinda nasty, iirc it's something like about 7psi

Is there a boost curve? I wouldn't be surprised if the tuner has tapered the boost to try and get around it.

I would like to hear why people think it's excessive manifold pressure that is causing the boost to taper off 5-6psi

I know this is wrong but would like to hear why you think this, exhaust back pressure can cause this but not manifold presure

Either the boost controller is set to do this or the compressor is running out of puff, I would have said exhaust back pressure as a cause but the dum pipe and cat change made little to no difference

HI Chris, how have you been.

I cannot answer anything, I asked, gave up :(

But moving on and will wait for tests to be done and maybe I can answer the question..

I doubt if there is too much wrong and will be sorted for once and all :)

It's a possible explanation, not "oh this is it, case closed." Not everyone is arrogant or ignorant enough to say stuff to the effect of "I don't know what your reasoning is, but I know it's wrong."

I'm not going to explain the reasoning as I'm well past getting trapped throwing pearls before swine, I've just taken an interest here as I've been hearing quite a bit from people about this thread and keen to see a good outcome.

Why is it a possible explanation?

What is the thinking as to why this is a possible explanation ?

I never said case closed or I don't know the reasoning, I asked what the thinking behind it was from other people

But hey thanks for reminding me why I have been avoiding posting in SAU lately

interesting what the turbo does on an evo, although yours is a 0.84 split?? so it has a 62mm turbine??

Exactly what I was thinking. I'm not explaining to you because it has already been explained in here and because you've made it clear you disagree regardless... why would I?

Was good to dip the toes in the water again and see this attitude is still strong here, I hope this works out well - Pete... I hope things clear up for you soon, I'm sure Paul etc will keep me up to date :)

I just hope this thread stops...

perhaps even on page 69 for the humour

LOL 69 , always liked that #

I have said it before, it is easy to close threads, don't read them and even if they do not close, you will not have to read the shit :)

You say the same thing every couple of months, see you soon.

Just read the last 20 pages. A lot of people have thrown different theories around with explanations. Maybe they are right or wrong, but the discussions have been enjoyable and valuable I recon, even if we are all wrong.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
