firstly let me just say that he changed the plugs and gave it a routine service fitted the supra FMIC as low as possible to get more airflow, recoed the drive shafts (fitted too) then tuned the car, then did a horsepower test. This all for the sum of $420. I was pissed about waiting but for $420 he has looked after me.

And the dyno result is............................ you'll have to wait because he can't print it until he gets some paper for it which is Friday.

Sorry

get this, I went to flow tech EFI to run the car on the dyno again and all of a sudden the motor starts running shit. Then it starts knocking intermittently. So he has a look and says, 'you've broken a valve spring, I'll have it fixed on monday' . So in short I haven't got the dyno print out yet.

BTW, I did 0-100kmh in 6.1 seconds today with a bit of wheel spin. If I can get it to launch with just a chirp I am sure I could do 5.8 seconds.

Found out the turbo let go and sent bits of bearing through the motor... expensive, but cheaper than fitting another motor.  Looking for one in WTB section.

if its the standard r32 turbo then it may have over boosted and the ceramic wheel/sharft let go common thing to happen, probibly less damage to the engine than you might think. have it checked before spending $1200 on a new engine/$400 for a new turbo from shops or 1/2 that from the for sale section on here!

Been offered some parts. I put an add in the WTB section and I have 2 options from that.

Apparently on Daves Silvia page he quotes a magazine articly that states the turbo is good for 1.2bar or 17 psi. Mine wasn't running anything near that and the mechanic said it is a bushing not the bearing that crapped itself as it is a ball bearing unit. The turbo was still spooling up around 10psi when the motor was running crap so it probably isn't too bad. I will modify the wastegate to run higher boost too because the bushing screwing up was probably causing the heat in the turbo. Anyway, we'll see when I get the car back.

I also had the rev limiter at 6800, I am going to change it up to the factory setting of 7500 so I can hopefully get a 0-100 down from 6.1seconds to something in the 5's

Just got the call, turbo is totally rooted, the mechanic told me to stay away from getting another one. He also said to get an RB25 which should run 15 psi or get mine rebuild with a VL turbo Impeller which can flow 450hp. But that would cost $1500 which I don't have.

I think I'll get the RB25 turbo.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
