Oh hello Sir, do you have FCC approval for all that extra electronics emmissions and the substantial radiation threat you pose to passing aircraft?????

 

:rolleyes:

Sorry officer, I lost the glove box key :innocent:

It might seem a silly question - but what would you be doing different if you had a manual??

Ian

I would replace the standard ECU with a Power FC

:) cheers ;)

Hi SK,

Mate; is the Apexi Super Ignition Tinming Converter actually worth while using with the Stagea? :)

I just bought a Brand New one for $240US. I'll receive it in a few weeks hopefully. :lol:

Also ordered the Nismo fuel regulator from Nengun Performance that we chatted about, Ive already got a Z32 AFM, and will get the tune shop to supply high pressure fuel hose and clamps and install a Bosch 040 fuel pump.

With the above, and with my 141.3kw at the 4wheels (ebc, full 3inch exhaust, safc, r34gtt intercooler) what psi could the boost be safely used at, and what sort of power increase might the Stagea be able to obtain?

Kind regards mate, and cheers to you

Brendan :P

Hi Brendan, I have had my SITC installed for about a month, but I haven't had time to get it on the dyno and tune it. That's not quite correct, I have time to tune it, but no time to fit the exhaust and I figured it was a waste of dyno time until the exhaust was on.

I don't like running the standard turbo over 10psi, due to ceramic in the cat disease. I reckon you aren't going to get much over 150 4wkw until the turbo upgrade is done. But you will pick some average power by being able to manipulate the ignition separately from the A/F ratios.

;) cheers :)

:lol: Thanks for the advice SK.

It was a good price for a NEW Apexi Super-ITC, so I thought what the hell, just get one.

I'll have to decide whether I install it all (sitc, z32, fuel lines and pump) in December and have it re-tuned along with the Safc-II, or wait until Ive got a spare 2k for the turbo upgrade. Hmmmm.

Mind you, 150kw might be aok for a few years (allow me to sort the brakes and suspn first).

Cheers for your advice so far SK, greatly appreciated.

Brendan ;)

Manual conversion -> PowerFc -> No piggy backs needed

Hence, i am also trying to offload my DFA if someone wants it, i want the 79.95 that the kit cost, its already built and calibrated ready to go into the car, just never got around to installing it....

As always, will post Auswide :)

yeah maybe so, but the second mouse gets the cheese

do u know how u go about tunng one of these itc - do u stand over the engine bay while your cars doing 7000 rpm with the timing light and hope nothing goes bang.. sure u can judge 0-25 degrees but how can u 'guess' 30 or 40?

This might sound like a stupid idea, but where is this fabled "timing light"??

Im all new to this self service car thing :(

You buy one from your local Repco, SupaChaep, AutoBarn, AutoPro etc.

:) cheers :rofl:

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
