bah did he have the bar :D

i dont have net at home anymore nismo girl so i could not check what yah said till today :|

Well my car went to chip Torque yesterday to get tuned.

got good results...better than sub zero did they just said to me yah engine or turbo are stuffed and left me with 197 rwhp :( even though it went in with 220 rwhp :|

Chip Torque tuned it and got great results it runs perfect now...no stalling no over fueling no pinging, perfect

They got it to 240rwhp but it pinged right on about 7k so he turned it down a little and put it back to 235 rwhp and no pinging, oil breath tank next and it will prolly fix that pingin prob.

They also put some iridian plugs (thinks that how u spell it) in it.

I am happy with that power now for the stock turbo but i did lose what feels like acceleration or it seems to spool slower..i will call em bout that today..but other than that SWEEEET.

I will be takin my car there a fair bit more now.

Sub Zero are great fabricators and for performance mods..but i think i will leave the tuning to Chip Torque.

240rwhp is pretty impressive but i would have expected more with the sub zero plenum on. my dads getting about 250rwhp @ 1bar of boost with the standard one however hes got the EMS duel sport computer which makes all the difference.

i've heard alot of good things about that sub zero plenum, the fastest GTSt in australia runs one and sub zero claim they can build anyone a 10s car for around $15 000 using the same technology.

what sort of computer r u running mark0?

i dont think much more than what i have can be expected as the stock turbo wont go that hard... once i put the new turbo on then the car will get figures it should be at...but its all money.

I have a microtech computer in mine, car is running pretty smooth now which is good.

maybe a little fine tuning needed but it is runnin heaps better than before

yeah, that plenum was designed to run big boost, the stock turbo will only go upto 1bar so ya cars got plenty of potential. I think the sub zero GTSt runs 30psi :eek:

Turbo upgrade is an expensive move, i'm looking at budgeting $5000 for the GT25 turbo upgrade on my car, but thats a big power increase.

5k

what are you getting

Turbo, Manifold, Fuel, wastegate setup what else

i am going to get a bolt on turbo with an internal wastegate they are about 2500-2700 all i need will be the oil lines for the turbo which are about 150-200 and it will be good to flow up to 400 hp...not that i will flow that yet..i want around 280-300rwhp when i do that excersise then later on down the track do some internal work and fuel setup..i will prolly have to get a bigger fuel pump with that turbo anyway but thats like 400.

GT25 turbo,

custom adapter plate to stock manifold,

custom lines for turbo,

bigger injectors,

500hp fuel pump,

300zx afm,

dyno tuning for 450hp

all for 5k :P

went for a nice crooze with belgarion tonight, checked out his new ice green r33 2 door. Its really nice, very tidy.

got grilled by the cops at asply, tried to book belgarion for having his battery in the boot :lol:

well as mick said, i have my skyline on the road.

spent most of yesterday installing the turbo timer i was given, the fact that the owner in japan decided hed leave his old one shoved up under my dash for me made things a little easier, bit of testing with the multi meter and it was all good.

it needs a good clean all over really, still got stickers and crap all over the windscreens and that "super fine coating" crap on the back windows too.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
