Now.... I had a little blat with a R31 a few nights ago. And got a little bit Depressed. Now ive been in many r31's and my R30 feels a hell of alot quicker and definitly gets up to 100k Quicker.

This r31 was near stock. Just a exhasut and it was Auto.

No gain, No pulling. Even.

Now my l20et has, a Large FMIc, 600hp Fuel pump, Rebuilt Head, a rb20det turbo. DEemissiond, Huge intake mods. and im running 8psi. which i know is low.

On my old setup smaller fmic, same fuel pump ect, but my old turbo, o got 109rwkw and 350nm of torque, In pricibal ive only seen rb30e's do 102rwkw mark.

So..... Im confused

You sure that thats all it had done to it??? Im pretty sure last 31 i went in wasn't that quick hey...

by the sound of it is never a good indiciation

when my r31 was first boosted it had the stock exhuast it was quieter than a hyundai excel.

the car could of had n/a work, multi-throttles aftermarket ecu, cam etc. thing is, u never really know what the other guy has got.

i remember the look on a xr6 ba p-platers face....

i understand where you are comming from, But this car looked factory, Auto, Factory mags. Standard height, lol. And a droopy exhasut muffler.

It was a Young guy driving. It just amazed me in how my car feels so much quicker than a r31 to only be as "fast" as a r1 rb30e. The r30 coupe is alot lighter. :D

Nick my r31 used to haul ass and i had done was put on a podfilter, remapped ecu, extractors and a more free flowing exhaust. WHen dynoed It was putting out 75kw at the rear wheels with 500Nm Torque which isnt much kw but alot of torque and it was extremely loud!

Keep in mind what other people have said about the mods, for all you know that R31 Could've had a Rb30 Block with a DOHC head and a huge turbo....so yeah. I know what u mean tho its kinda gutting when you find out your L20et isnt that fast. My mates twin 45mm sidedrafted 2l cortina is even with my car...

depending on r31 model the power figures range quite a bit, anywhere from 80rwkw- 120rwkws in N/A form, don't be dishartened as alot of r31 boys like to keep thier cars very stock looking. theres a thread on a 308 TT powered r31 at the moment that still runs the stock silo wheels.

Just to throw a spanner in your thoughts, I have a mate that had a VL Turbo Exec, the turbo badge was taken off and stock VN Calais mags fitted, and to the naked eye, it looked like a VL Exec with Calais Wheels until anyone wanted to have a go.

To quote a well known line, "NEVER under estimate your oponent, always expect the unexpected"

Cheers,

good and valid point, Note taken :), the imagae of the large amount of flames comming out the exhaust told me otherwise that it isnt stock.

Ive been tweaking my Air/fuel adjustments and gained alot of mid range torque. Still running ritch at crusing thorottle possion's so more tweaking will gain me alot more power i presume

+ Rb25det fuel requaltors make a nice upgrade. I noted mine made the system run Mega lean just under 0 Manifold pressure and made a flat spot in eccal. Installing it, Well its run's ritcher and the fuel delivery on boosting up is alot better.

Not i am taking all this off a Air/fuel Guage and a new NGK o2 sensor. gives very stable readings.

hell yeah!, any turbo work or a intercooler makes a HUGE diffrence.

i wish i had a dyno sheet's to show you what diffrence it makes

Will the bigger turbo & intercooler support a 3 inch system now! without causing power loss problems. Dump pipe back???

Cheers.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
