Good morning/arvo ladies and gents :(...

Got a question as just recent aquired one myself... about what sorta mods ppl do, for their stage 1, as this thing is pretty much stock as a rock, and just recent discovered theres lag in spooling and have no idea what it is, ive checked the intake pipes, and tightened the clamps but still its there, before hand it had a nice hard head splitting kick to her spooling, now it feels like a grandma driving it... :)

EDIT::: it may possibly be bad fuel but that doesn't seem the case as a few mates use the same servo's as i do {BP Ultimate} at the same locations around Gold Coast and they have never had a problem... so any info might help thx... shes only 6 days old :) cant have her gettin beaten by bashed up camrys now :( as it did last night *rather astonished and dismayed , wanting revenge :D *

what it has atm is the boys down in sydney developed a replica from Japans Performance ultra low coil suspension, in which theres not much movement, but great handling, its got the 2 degree or there abouts camber kit on the rear and possibly the front aswell... with 17" 235's, and also a Pod setup [Apexi] and was curious what would be the next step and where some good places for performance parts can be found etc...

any info would be advantagious as this is the first skyline that i have the chance to do mods to, so its a new learning curve :)

Cheers all,

Nekryd

what kinda power do u want from it? how do u want it to look etc?

the mods can go on for ever

ive spent very close to 20k on my series 2 r33 this yr so i know what its like to mod something

thanks, well atm, all i want to see done is stage 1 over and done with, any suggestions are welcome...

for what most ppl do for stage 1... in preparing for the stage 2 / 3 yada step ups... or the major overhall in 1 hit that i know a few have done...

what i need is some help in the understanding of what should be done in Stage 1, first up in prep for all the mods later, i know u need a power band u wanna aim for but atm, to be honest... aslong as everything is function/breathing and runs 10psi or more wid minimal shit, will keep me happy till i toss the manifolds fling the turbo and all the rest...

cheers.

to be honest id get an ecu first... then follow that with a fuel pump/regulator. do exhaust (cat back or turbo back). front mount intercooler. after this id look at doing boost increases altho u could get away with it after doing ecu

but if u dont wanna spend much money i would buy a safc, exhaust and then a boost controller.... i had 170rwkws with this setup (mine has an apexi pod aswell)

i guess the first stage in a stock gtst is to remove all the stock limitations and stock hardware. things you'll most likely consider or replace:

$1200 Ish fitted

full 3" exhaust, hiflow cat, new dump and front pipe

** stock exhaust is very restrictive

$1200 kit not including fitting (brand new)

front mount intercooler

** stock intercooler is tiny

(apexi safc $400 not fitted and tuned) / chipped ecu $350

apexi safc II / chippable ECU / piggyback system

** stock ecu has boost / fuel cuts, apexi safc or piggyback will help bring on power quicker and trick the ecu into more/less airflow

boost controller - $300

**stock boost is 5psi until 4500rpm then 7psi. aftermarket will allow you to set whatever you like. no more than 12psi is recommend as youll get boost cut on the ecu and won't make any more power. you can get a bleed valve for $100 or you can get a good second hand electronic boost controller, around $300 ? hks ez 2 or 3?

pineapple kit in the rear to help traction - $200

** stock suspenion is OK but this will prevent axle tramp or at least help it a lot

the stock skyline is about 130rwkw and above mods should net you around 170rwkw ish ? maybe 190 with full replacement ecu such as power fc

stage 2 is most likely

bigger injectors $700 (new)

aftermarket turbo $2000 (new)

full replacement ecu $1400 (new)

twin plate clutch $1400 (new)

new air flow meter $300 (2nd hand)

new fuel pump $300 (2nd hand)

255 or 265 tyres $1000 (new)

depending on turbo new manifold and wastegate $1500 ?

the list goes on, and theres a lot more stuff for stage 2 that ive listed thats just some off the top of my head. stage 2 is around 260rwkw ish depending on turbo etc. with a bigger turbo comes more lag

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
