nice clean ride you have there. welcome to sau-sa. from the sounds of yours mods it seems that its quite strange to be only showing 5psi (if its the stock boost guage as in factory one then dont reply on that and use an aftermarket one for more precise reading) it should be in fact showing at least 7psi given that you have a full exhaust and fmic. in regards to pure dyno runs, then blackwood dyno and tune is quite cheap (~$30 for a power run) while for dyno and tuning definately go to boostworx as it seems the service their is second to none (customer wise as well as tuning wise).

enjoy your stay and hope to see you around.

cheers,

duc.

Hey DriftR 33,

Nice work on the vehicle mate, top choice, as for a dyno, i would reccomend Graham West on Marion Rd they do some good work down there, Go down and speak with Ashley he will lead you in the right direction to be getting SAFE power, with what you have and can afford.

Darren

Hiya DriftR_33,

I back up the claims that Graham West Workshop on Marion rd is the way to go - picked up my 1997 Nissan Stagea series-1 wagon (RB25det R33 series 2 based) from Ashely and Brett last week. Had a full 80000km service and also the timing belt replaced, plus installed an alarm system.

Had the exhaust finished off with a 3inch dump pipe and hiflow catconverter, so thats now 3inch the whole way through (and they needed to modify it but did a great job), upgraded the 'cooler slightly with an R34 GTT sidemount unit, put in a new oxygen sensor, used an Hybrid electronic boost controller set to 10psi high and 7psi low, and had an apexi safc installed and dynotuned.

Top service, came out with over 20% gain (141.4kw at the 4 wheels), and they do the tuning to a SAFE tune! very imortant.!! :P

Plus gave me advice on how to get the other 40kw I want at the 4 wheels, with info on how my injectors were being used (76%) and the AFM (almost maxed out - replacing with a Z32 unit).

Very professional, I'll never be going anywhere else! Highly recommended, $88 labour rate per hour I think, with $100 per hour dyno time by memory. But well worth it - they seem to have a wealth of experience, and they own R33's themselves!

Brendan

my AFM is reading 4.95 volts Ive been told, max out at 5.06 or something similar?

So, have been told by the fellas at GWW thats its fine for the current level of tune, but if I want that extra 4wheel KW then the Z32AFM will be required. Plus was told upgrade the injectors at the same time.

Others have questioned this as well, I can only go by what Ive been told by Ashley and Brett at GWW, as they tuned the car obviously.

Either way, Ive bought a Z32 AFM now off the forums here, so will have that put on when I do my next load of mods (along with 550cc injectors for safetys sake).

Just got to work out what to do with the turbo - hiflow or relace?

Brendan

bwilkeson: 141.wkw and max out AFM?

Maxx - Ive got a Nissan Stagea wagon, so thats an 1997 RB25DET auto with the attessa AWD system. Probably losing 70kw from the crank, so power would be around 210kw at the engine less drivetrain losses from the 4wd and auto trans.

But still.................... ????

Hey Brendan,

Thought i saw your car at Graham West, drive past every day and have a geeze in, always sweet cars there, and then i saw yours!, lookin sweet fella. Ashley told me the same, but i already have Power FC and T3 hiflow T4 and now looking for Z32, 550cc Injectors and also a Fuel Pump. My AFM is also maxed out and also my injectors and i need a complete re map of FC so gotta do all at the same time(cos i don't want to be forking out for 2 re maps) he reckons it will be good for 240Kw from the 189kw i have now, Can't wiat to find the cash, but then gonna be well in the need for some coilovers. When does it end? God damn

Have to go for a boot with you soon

bwilkeson, what is the hybrid ebc like to use? as im thinking of getting one for the sil80.

Been on the car for 1 week, only driven 90km, havent tried the low boost setting.

Seems ok for the money, but would rather a digital unit for a little more money.

But, if your on a budget like I am, its worth the $$ I guess. Was disappointed that the 2stage setting 'changers' are dials only, and can be easily bumped.

Good thing is its installed into my 'coin holder' that the Stagea has, and fits perfectly. Out of prying eyes, like the SAFC which is in my locked glovebox.

Sorry I didnt use you for the service, as per PM a month ago, wanted to get everything done at the 1 store.

Also, appologies to Drift_R33 for hijacking the thread, of sorts!

Brendan

i don't think the safc support bigger injector, so u are going power Fc or some sort?

the fuel pump should max out b4 the injector too

Hi Maxx,

Im not sure about the tuning, I was assuming that with a bit of 'magic' tuning done by the lads at Graham West, they'd be able to get the SAFC to run with a Z32AFM and larger injectors.

I will upgrade the fuel pump when I do the next lot of mods, so maybe I increase the fuel rail pressure (as per Sydneykids suggestion) rather than larger injectors.

I'll have a chat to GWW before I buy larger injectors to see if it'll work with the SAFC - but I dont want a Power FC, as the safc is a nice bit of gear for the real cheap price of $360.

Brendan

(again, apologies to Drift_R33 for the hijack)

Yah, hi Darren, cant wait to catch up, hopefully a hills run gets organised soonish. Thanks for the sweet comments! I luv my Stag, its a real sweet car. Real happy with the purchase 6 weeks ago, suits my young family just fine.

Maybe buy stuff like fuel pump and injectors off ebay? Never let me down yet (spent $8k off ebay for my Fireblade....). Hmmm, Id luv to buy the suspension deal that Sydneykid has going at the moment, but dont have the $2k required. But will do the suspension probably next year, along with slotted DBA rotors.

Doing the MV Automatics shift kit soon, and an oil cooler for the auto tranny (Drift_R33; thats a mod you should do!!).

Need info on a Turbo though. New turb's off ebay seem to be good prices, just got to work out what one will work for me (only want an extra 40-50kw at the 4wheels)...... any suggestions?

Also, power fc - works ok with an auto?? I thought you had to 'manual shift' the auto stick with an FC.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
