No real updates, just been driving it here and there and slowing dialing in the tune. Looks like I need a new FMIC, after a few 3rd gear pulls the IATs are going well into the high 40s, low 50s.

Last night, did a light touch up because I now need to daily the R33 to and from work whilst the Tiguan is in for hail repairs from last year.

Here's a log of a somewhat "large" rear housing and setup, nearly 1.3bar by 4000rpm in 3rd! I think I can get it to come on even earlier by lean spooling it a tad, but it's a bit hard to dial on the street.

Once I'm happy with it, I'll go hire a dyno and finish it off on 98RON, then one day I'll go and do the flex tune. I suspect I'll hit 330~350kW on 98RON :)

Where are you measuring IAT at and what is the sensor mounted in? 

In the right spot :)

GM IAT sensor, post intercooler BUT not inside the engine bay to avoid heat soak.

It's just in a plastic housing or in a metal one?

If I had a wild, open cheque book build the car would go to Benny at Benchmark Solutions for wiring.

Do it, keeps me in a job ?

It's evo city, need to get a good (subjective term here of course lol) skyline in for a full rewire.

Oh wut you work with Benny now?

Have been helping him with bits and pieces of his wiring for over year now, although really stepped it back recently as my new job has taken all my free time away. But if you send your car up I'll happily do a front to back on it [emoji23]

Check his latest FB post for the electrical dream system you could have. That's out of the ERS evo6 that Benny and I did.

Hahaha yeah if I win the lotto, I'll send it there!

In the meantime my pleb spec wiring with eBay braid will do on the shit box (probably still nicer than 95% of the built shit boxes out there).

Seeing as you're on the wiring mind if I ask; Do you use the factory knock sensors? 

(I f**ked my plugs on removal and finding replacements is proving a bitch)

Kinda, but they're pretty inaccurate. I generally don't push the tune on any car running 98RON also generally not knock limited.

On E85 it's much harder for you to knock, unless you've really cocked up the timing to cause any pre-ignition or actually knock with buckets of timing. 

Generally when you feed in timing and you're not gaining any additional torque, that's time to stop. Feeding any more, you'll start to lose power and be eventually knock limited.

I'm planning to only push it to about 330~340kW on 98RON then send it's mum on E85.

Been to many music festivals, clubs, raves around Australia and other parts of the world but just last week I was fortunate enough to go to Tomorrowland in Boom, Belgium. This year marked the 15th Tomorrowland to take place. It's amazing how the entire country takes such pride and involvement in the festival and people of all ages are supportive and participate in such a magical experience.

Anyhow, probably no-one or very few are interested in this but if you do then here's a few photos of the mainstage on closing night. My wife, friends and I were lucky enough to get a great viewing point, right on the viewing platform that was closest to the stage.

FWIW, I came dressed in a VB singlets and a Bunnings straw hat ?

And here's Day 1, mainstage. Just casually sporting a Bunnings hat lol.

Belgium is such a nice country with nice people. I went to Rock Werchter many years ago and by far the best concert experience I've ever had.

It is, also Europeans party very differently to others. You could easily spot the Americans and Aussies. American girls dressed like wh0res with tape bikinis and ar5e cheeks hanging everywhere and the Aussie girls weren't far behind. The guys were just total morons, sliding down the hill, pushing and shoving people. At the rate we're going, wouldn't surprise me if they limit/ban Aussies in future.

Nice. Been meaning to go, always see friends' photos and it looks awesome.

I did go to Sensation White there, my first rave. Was fun, but wasn't into EDM that much back then.

Should do it man, such an amazing experience. Nothing like any festival I've been too and especially better than the Aussie version of Sensation White (what a disaster).

Would love to go to TomorrowLand. Has always been a want but never mad either so far :(

Do it man, people there were going with their parents too! Those Europeans party hard lolol

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
