Have you got a 260RS? ^^^. Because I have two mines ecu's i am about to sell. One of em is from my car which the Apexi power FC replaced.

Nah Just series 2 RS4, Tryna find myself a new ECU.. soonish

3" turbo back, k&n panel filter, 10psi = 135kW

Nistune, 11psi = 175kW

Pretty happy with that. Much smoother power delivery too.

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.

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

    • I don't know if this is accurate. The EPC places the EPS control unit somewhere in the engine bay or somewhere in the interior near the firewall, presumably because the things it's controlling mostly live up in the front of the car unlike HICAS which has a whole steering rack on the rear axle to handle. @D.phantom The R32 GTR manual actually has more than I give credit for talking about the non-HICAS cars: You can probe the pins on the diagnostic connector directly to read the EPS solenoid voltage as far as I can tell following the flow chart.
    • Hi all, so I bought a very low kms 2019 Q60s in Nov 2022 and have been driving it stock for 17 months. The power from the VR30DETT has been a little scary as these cars did not come with a LSD. Although the ECU does well with compensating the lack of LSD by using automatic braking on different wheels when there is lost of traction etc, it does not really give me much confidence to push the car harder. Further to that, the car feels quite boaty especially around sharper corners or roundabouts - it would seem like the wheels are lifting on one side. These engines are also very prone to heat soak as the heat exchanger is tiny. I felt this during the heat wave in WA over summer even in normal driving. Gear shifting in the Q60 is also something that I hated - it's quite harsh at low speeds especially in traffic.  I recently purchased a set of f&r sway bars, rear diff brace and a heat exchanger from Z1 in US. Here are my thoughts 1) Rear diff brace - no more wheel hop when accelerating quickly. wheel spin still present but manageable comparing to before. Gear shifts are now smoother, you can still tell its shifting etc but you dont feel the harshness. I would highly recommend this mod, and it should still be on sale at Z1 at the moment. 2) Sway bar - there are 2 settings for this F - 114%/165% increase in stiffness over stock and R - 138%/214% increase in stiffness over stock. Currently I am on the stiffer settings. The car feels very planted. Due to the weather over here I have not been able to test if i need to reduce the stiffness. So far it's much more comfortable to drive over stock as you dont feel like your car is lifting up and in fast turns you can control the car a lot better while turning left and right in quick succession.  3) HX - the Z1 HX has a much higher capacity and surface area (up to 200% or something). Again with the cooler weather it's a little hard to tell. I went with the Z1 HX due to the price, size and colour (black). You can't see the HX through the front bumper. There is a cheaper brand but it was smaller and the rest were more expensive which i didnt think was worth the extra since I won't track this car much at all. All 3 mods were easy to install, all plug and play. Note of caution, the front bar needed to come off for the HX to be installed.  
    • A is the HICAS CU.  As far as I know, there are no other modules located at A in a car with HICAS, so it is fair to presume that F is the variable power steer module for non-HICAS cars. Same location, give or take. Makes sense - the wiring loom for the HICAS cars has the speed signal, power, solenoid drive, etc wires all present there - so why move the module and have to upend the wiring loom?   Having said the above though, it may be the case that F is further down in the rear guard - it's hard to tell. In which case it may be something else. Yes, it is the multi-pin plug next to the under dash fuse box. Top left corner. Can't miss it. Be very careful though - use insulated probes to poke around in there so  you don't accidentally short 12v to ground or an ECU input etc etc.
    • They didn't. This is their comments; I'm not sure why they don't have the OEM specs.
