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.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
