I had a mines ecu in my gtr left the boost restrictor in till I removed it and never had issues, the issue with them is they run lots of timming and rich and are tunned for 100ron, but the stock ecu is fine if Nissan didn't want us removing the boost restrictor then they would of hidden it better and not painted a yellow strip around it, if you don't know what detonation sounds like or how to read your plugs or check base timming then I would be leaving it to a mechanic who does

Yes, that makes perfect sense. I could have figured that out myself, Always good to hear it from others though.

No issues with the Mechanics side of things, More of the what to do and what not to do. ( Former All Holden guy... )

So, an aftermarket ecu and a good Dyno tune wouldnt hurt. Any excuse to do more Mods.. =D

yes it was designed to be taken out!! When using 100ron fuel, which only very few United servos have and nobody else. On 98 it hurts engines

My 32GTR had a catback and nipple removed to net 1bar boost everything else stock.

Factory setting for base timing @20deg was fine with 98 octane so long as it was 22deg or colder outside!

Pulled very hard but I noticed temps over 22deg outside the factory ecu would pull timing as it prolly detected light detonation.

But on hot days I wouldn't be belting a gtr anyway.

So you could do the above std setup being mindful of fuel Ron and weather or turn base ign timing down via cas to maybe 17 or 15deg and have a laggy pig no matter what weather or fuel used.

Run no. 7 heat range plugs too that also lower temps avoiding detonation.

As others have said in the thread, mild steel will give you a deeper sound without the tinny rice boy Hyundai sound that so many titanium and stainless setups produce. Forget the look, people don't see under your car anyway. Just use a stainless or titanium end muffler and it'll look the same anyway.

Love my custom mild steel system. Deep and never droney, but thanks to my special cat it rasps when you're up high in the rev range. Best of both worlds.

    • Yeah the Drift R wheels look awesome. They are pitted though, wonder if I can fix that somehow.
    • I picked up my diff today. Both their shop manager and machinist wanted to have a chat prior to me leaving. Conversation started with "Where did you buy these garbage parts? What's the name of the company?" They actually went on Speedtek's website during our conversation and made what I think is the best gear head joke I've ever heard after seeing they make straight cut gears. "They've probably only gotten away with selling straight cut gears as they'll make noise whether they're properly machined or not. People are none the wiser" The humor made the 2500$ in the hole I'm in after this whole experience a little better lol. They also pointed out that not only did they find identical issues on both ring and pinions that Speedtek had sent, but that by eye you can see the pinion teeth do not have the same profile from one end to the other.  They went on about this being the worst diff job they've ever done and how it was a colossal waist of time. Luckily after mentioning how I purchased another diff to learn how to assemble them, they were nice enough to give me a crash course on diff assembly on another diff they were currently doing. I like to tell myself they did this to be nice but deep down, I know it's to be extra certain they'll never see me there again lol.  Speedtek was pushing for a store credit but I'll never feel confident purchasing from them again due to their third world machining techniques and QC. I just asked for a full monetary refund.  I'll pop the diff back in this Friday and take it for a spin if the streets are clear of snow.
