I'd be concerned, but having said that it is a skyline...... This is what we have to deal with. Power that is making is fine, don't worry. Compression, yes.

So can you please tell me what race pace said about Power FC V's Haltech as I was looking to go a Haltech, as the car I purchased had a PFC, and the AFMs are maxed and I have E85 local.

Thanks!

The power is an issue for me because I was hoping for more like 450hp.

I'm in two minds about compression given that it's a higher kilometres engine anyway and a rebuild would have always been in my future.

With the spares that come with the car I could go a long way to covering the cost of a rebuild and then I'd have a fresh motor.

The other part of me thinks I could just as easily pass on this and wait until something better comes along. There's still things like the box, diffs, etc to consider

Chris said the Haltech had more features but the PFC ran car better, especially on standard ignition setups and was happier without a crank trigger setup than the Haltech.

Just received this video.

I have no idea what a "cold" engine should show on a thermal gun but I'd think it would be higher than 23 degrees.

I did mentioned to him that cranking it that many times can give a false positive as the cylinder has a chance to keep building pressure.

He's going to have another go when his brother drops by so he can video the comp gauge building pressure on each stroke for me.

It's one thing to buy a car to drive and build up at your own pace and another to buy one expecting to do a rebuild.

If you budget extends as much then it's worth considering or even worth renegotiating the price slightly if you decide to stay with this one, covering yourself when you rebuild.

GL bud.

The question is whether it needs a rebuild or not. The guy at Godzilla seemed like a bit of an ass to be honest. To then see these comp test results be different doesn't fill me with confidence he did a good job testing it.

I will have another mechanic look it over.

I would have to think that between the 2x Rims, the HKS Catback Exhaust and the RB30 short block there'd have to be 6-7k there, that goes a long way "IF" the car needs a fresh bottom end.

I might stretch and insist I want the PFC also as he was contemplating keeping that.

Well I just got some bad news...

Jap history came with this auction report and these comments. I'll await his summary but I don't think there's any mistaking the front end damage, especially if it implies an oil leak that was not minor.

I realise that the repairs may have been done well, but its still of concern.

"Unfortunately photos of the car at auction are no longer available since the auction took place so long ago now, just the auction sheet itself and related meta-data still exist.

You may have some questions in regard to the grading which is uncommon - a zero grade was awarded to indicate that the vehicle required mechanical repairs (although not noted in detail - the oil leak noted is presumed not to have been minor). Given the other noted repairs which are structural in nature, the vehicle would have received an R grading had it not been for the oil leak issue.

We'll be in touch again shortly with the registration certificate result and summary. "

No idea of the condition, but it does seem like a good base to build, local-ish is also a step in the right direction

All the best with your search, this is one of my fav threads at the moment, only second to the R34 picture thread

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
