Guys - besides the Nissan inline sixes - there are the less well naturally balanced V6's that can also respond pretty well to lots of mild changes cumulatively giving rise to better punch overall.

All my experience to date has been with the ubiquitous Magna 6G74 in standard 164Kw form.

The engine had done over 250kms and needed a refresh so it was whipped out and completely stripped down.

The following things were done extra to than just the usual rings and bearings, water pump and belt(s):

Decks surfaced and piston crowns surfaced to match..

Heads milled 60 thou.. de-shrouding of valves.. port matching.. contouring and cc'ing of combustion chambers.. 150% uprated valve springs.. new large aperture lifters..

Use of new old stock 6G74 'Ralliart' higher lift longer duration camshafts and vernier adjustable lighter weight cam wheels.. dialling-in valve timing at 6 degrees of advance over factory timing at advice of Mitsubishi development engineer Robt Green..

Use of 6mm phenolic heat blocks at the inlet to plenum, and at the inlet to throttle body..

Use of a fail to safety low temp thermostat ..and use of a thicker radiator core..

Replacement of the steel dynamic balancer with a drilled alloy under drive crank pulley..

Removal and sealing apertures of all EGR bits..

Removal of cat.. and installation of Advance headers and a 3" perforated tube and 2.5" perforated tube (50/50) open system.. no baffles anywhere..

HPC'ing of all of the exhaust components, internally and externally..

Heat wrapping of all the components from the collector to outlet ..Borla 3" outlet with ground effect 'droopie'..

Restricted hot water flow to throttle body.. K&N panel filter..

Use of 45Kv distributor.. NGK HT's ..and 'Pulstar' plasma field plugs..

Use of VP15 real time flashing chip to ECU ..all fields laptop set for 'power'.. 98 octane (Gull/Mobil/BP)

All the engine work was done by Rex Danby (NZ speedway engine development engineer)..

The vehicle really needed better handling/braking ..all rotors slotted for wet weather..

New old stock 'red' Koni Ralliart front struts ..Whiteline adjustable tower brace ..front camber kit..

Nolathane bushes front and rear.. and 20% uprated rear shocks..

To finish off I went through the car, removing EVERYTHING of extra weight, that was NOT NEEDED (the whole of the rear load floor, the spare, the tools, the towbar, the roof rack, rubber floor mats, and stereo speakers.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      Rear Sway Bar Busshings - Holden Astra TS (2002)

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
