Figured I should probably throw this up for interest sake. In terms of power mods this time around:

- High flowed turbo

- Impul ECU

-* Plenumn Spacer

-* HDi FMIC

-* 3" exhaust dump / cat removal

-* K&N Filter

The *'d items are 'new' compared to my old 173awkw, so not a huge difference in terms of 'top power' but the power delivery is completely different - much more power early on in the curve, on decent boost heaps earlier.

gotta be very happy with that not being tuned yet,

get hold of the actuator mod off scott!

Definitely coming along nicely, its great to see the results and be able to compare between mods - essentially @ 80kM/h I putting down ~20% more power by really only doing air filter, FMIC and Exhaust dump.

More/Consistent boost would be nice :thumbsup:

thats just it, the response of your turbo must be much better after opening especially the dump.

that actuator mod scotts doing gets you on boost earlier, and allows you to hold a better line!

or you get get a stronger actuator with a long rod, and bend/weld to fit!

1999 Stagea RS4S

HKS 2835ProS

Nismo 480cc injectors

Plazmaman FMIC (turnflow)

3" Straight through exhaust with mid muffler and massive rear can (very quiet car)

260 deg type B Poncams

Greddy Profec B

Nistune (car has run with auto base image for around 2 years finally figured out that it was supplied incorrectly and just re-imaged)

Tidy up tune with Jez to check what if any WOT mapping changes were needed after installing the manual image. It is anyones guess what Nistune is doing under the surface. Plus I wanted to work more on getting the car off the line. The Stagea bogs down quite easily unless you give it the beans off the line. Changes made to very low load fueling and VCT has sorted out these issues.

Thanks Bob. The car remains Ms. Wolv's shopping trolley so it is unlikely to see the dragstrip. She will be stoked with the improvement off the line. The car has always had a very quick midrange but this touch up tune managed to pull all the ends together. Jez tipped more fuel in from peak torque and it like it a lot. Each degree of timing was making big jumps in power. The neo's seem pretty sensitive to using fuel to cool the cylinders compared to my R33. No doubt E85 would be brilliant with this engine but it is impractical in Sydney at this point in time both for availability, cost of changing injectors, ECU, flex fuel sensor and fuel pump.

Changing to the manual image on Nistune sorted out some issues with throttle recovery and general smoothness which has been quite annoying for the last year or so.

just need to stabilize boost and clean up under the curve but should have a bit more in her b4 exhaust housing runs out. but heaps of fun already

hell yeah e85 would not see that power on 17 with pump. reckon I can can get about 350 with a bit more playing but the .63 should choke about then. also about limit of the g box

Just got my NISTune done:

NISTune%20dyno%20AFR.JPG

Series 2 C34 with a boost controller and a home-made dump pipe. Not an amazing result, but not too shabby either considering the almost total lack of mods. Around 120awkw @ 3000RPM is nice with the weight these things are lugging around. Torque curve goes up at 2500 and then flatlines to about 5800, so she's very pleasant to drive. 13 PSI @ 2500, flat line down to 11PSI at 6000.

Edited by joorsh

My M35 made

168kw @ 17 psi

Had to bring boost back as it was pinging due to crap fuel.

Settled for 155 on 95octane @11psi (What i get for being out in the middle of no where with a shit servo around)

Not hard to fix

It's got:

full 3" impul Exhaust

Scott dump

Calsonic front mount

Impul ecu

Stock turbo

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
