When you work a car its always the same.. you get alot of power, then not long after you get bored of it. Its a never ending cycle which cost sh|tloads!

Track work sounds like the best way to go because being a street driven car Im sure most of the power is used to run in a straight line but hit the track and really take the car to its limits

Yes... also if you can, get someone good to drive it at a training day like a driving instructor (many of them are utter penii though) or racing driver to jump in the car and show you what it can do... you will be amazed. Though again, choose carefully.

Obviously I'm all in favour of you taking it to the track Chris as well.

Infact I have also promised you a drive in my car - just never had the chance to take you for a spin. Maybe I can take you for a passenger lap at a track day if you like?

But for me a great example of someone going to the track is ferni. When I first met ferni he was pretty crazy on the street. But at his first track day I think he quickly learnt a) How fast his car really is. B) How much he still had to learn to drive it properly and c) How doing those speeds on the track is a hell of a lot more sensible than on the streets after he did make some mistakes when trying to drive fast.

Doesn't matter what type of thing you do - whether its a club sprint, drifting, or something like an advanced driver training - get out somewhere and safely take you car to the limit and really enjoy the power you have. I can almost garantee at the end of it you will be thinking about how to best improve your handling, grip and stopping rather than your power as well.

I have gradually lost the fun of driving my skyline, and need some ideas to get it to kik me in the arse again. Most of you know my car has 250rwkw and right now i found that.. well... boring. I think it may be the fact that im used to it and it doesnt surprise me anymore. What are some cheap ways to squeeze power into it, keeping in mind that it has stock engine internals and is running a GT-2835

Chris try driving to work and back in peak hour traffic on the freeway known as the carpark everyday damn day of the week and not being able to get over 80km/h most of the way amd see how much fun it is, and when you get around 280 km/tank and have to fill up atleast twice a week!!!!!!

Thats y i am getting another car as a daily driver soon coz the line pisses me off driving to work!!

I have found there are not many places to use the power on the street unless you go out late at night to have a play!!!!

That is true, before my first track day I was looking for more rwkw, after a day at the track the direction turned to spending money on the handling side of things.

Track days are the best way of finding out how much more you need to learn about driving your car.

Yet another vote for spending the cash on track time.

Nitrous Kit. 75hp shot $900 fitted, ready to go. Unlike popular belief they don’t add wear and tear when used in small shots, and in moderation. And on the up side, you only use the extra power when you hit the button, so less strain on the motor, apposed to having the extra hp there all the time with bigger turbo for example.

That will teach you to buy such a powerful car at age 17/18. Lol!! You should have got a shit box to putt around in so you apprieciate the natural progression of owning betting cars.

I reckon if I had your car back when i got my licence I would be currently living at Fawkner Cemetry, not becasue I'm reckless but because it takes a few years to gradually learn how to drive properly and react to situations that happen on the road even if your the safest guy on earch.

If people say your 'crazy' its probably because you do stupid shit to make them think that and I'm sure having 250rwkw doesn't make the situation any better

If the turbo in ur car is infact a GT2835 (looked smaller) then just turn the boost up

for obvious reasons im sure even a blind and mute spastic can understand.... dont do this with ur stock internals and stock ECU... its already running plenty.

have it tuned with a PFC, get an oil cooler and go for a blat on the track :D dont want anything going bang so mak sure its tuned properly first

doubt he has a stock ecu and 250rwkw.

Obiviously added boost means retune and he still has another 50rwkw he can go before she goes bang

I have a stock ECU with a chip, and yes it is a 2835 as it was checked by benny from Chasers, ice performance had no clue (no surprise there).

im already running 17 pounds, dont think i want to push it any more. the reason my car is only running 250 kw is that it is resticted by the computer and the injectors so it cant even be tuned for that turbo well.

So yeah Ni i think ill just get the powerfc and oil cooler which will give me more power :D (when i can afford it lol) and then hit the trackkk

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
