220rwkw is way too optimistic... if you had a bigger turbz i'd believe it.

But as long as the car feels better, dont worry about high reading dynos. Driveabllity is more important

well yeah, i love the way the car feels now regardless of how many kw it reads. for the first time yesterday i almost lost control overtaking someone

feels great, im happy

wont let me upload the graph at the moment

will try again later

i think what insant is trying to say is the they've bodged up the dyno figure to make it look like a good dyno tune, also the stock clutch is good for about 180-190rwkw, whats it like at 220?

If the dyno used was Bresciani's then my 220rwkw was backed up at Selectmaz very closely.

It may be possible the turbo has been modified without being able to see the difference. looking forward to seeing the dyno plot.

Where the hell were all you buggers all weekend? Phillip Island was awesome.

have you changed the o2 sensor in the last 50,000 ks? goto autobarn, repco get a ford el faclon oxygen sensor, its a standard bosch or whatever brand it is. should take around 1 hour to install at the most. unscrew old one its on the exhaust dump pipe just after the turbo, right behind the turbo heat shield, cut the plug wires off, and replace with new one. The oxygen sensor has two same colour wires and 1 unique colour wire so you can't get it wrong. Match the two same colour wires to the car loom and the unique to unique on the loom. I was getting 250ks to a full tank. Replaced o2 sensor and got around 350 odd

The o2 sensor is only supposed to last 40,000 ks

yeah its around $100 ish. i paid $125 at repco for a AAA brand one i think.

nissan ones genuine are like $250 or something stupid so if you ask for the ford el or as japcab said that place in bayswater

what size is the 31 fuel tank, i think the 33 only takes like 55 litres tops

whereas the aus 31s and vl (im guessing similar fuel tank) took a good 65-70 litres.

does that sound right? the purpose of the o2 is to save fuel by giving feedback to the ecu, without it (as in dead after 50,000 odd or unplugged) the ecu just never goes into save fuel mode, well at least thats what ive learnt and read up on.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
