James - V36 Owner (WA)

Hi folks,

About time I introduced myself after sapping up so much information from this fine site for so long!  I got myself an 08 CKV36 Type SP, 6spd in February (I think) of this year.  It has been a faithful daily for it's life and I've dumped 18,000kms on it since I've owned it.  

It's fully bolted, tuned and sits around 265kW at the flywheel.  It's on Cusco springs and shocks, has shitty modded headlights that are a pain in the arse, an IPL front lip, and is sitting on 19" Rays VR-G2s (245 at the front, 275 at the back).  It also has a nice carbon fibre rear diffuser!

I am looking to get new headlights sorted by OneightyNYC very soon, as well as a brake upgrade and front sway bar, and when "funds" (girlfriend) permit this is getting supercharged.  Also, as is the case with 99% of the people with V36's, have my navi looked at!

I have a couple of photos attached below, and if anyone has any opinion or thoughts let them flow!  I'm always open to new ideas, especially in the wonderful world of automotive.

 

James.

Sedan is good! Good car, good value =) could do with a tad more torque but you know, can't have everything haha. Done much to yours?

With sway bars, I recommend Hotchkis front and rear, strong and light. Very good stuff.

350GT Sedan. The first gen of the V36s. Kinda wished I had spent the extra $5k for the newer 370GT.

If you want headlights to be done in Australia, I can send you a contact in Sydney. He does it really well. PM me for more info :)

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
