well im pulling the rear brakes off the 33 tomorrow & giving them a good look over to see if i can get the to work, might need to buy some new lines, will also be pulling apart my power window switches,

dose anyone know were the power window fuses are also?

Just got a call about the sway bars I ordered, would have been here on friday if it weren't for the public holiday, perfect timing for the track day :( Damn you jebus, damn you and your public holidays too

Where'd you order them from?

Bursons Automotive, the rear one had to be made up by whiteline as there was none in stock.

Had a pretty productive day, fitted the front sway bar and pulled off and cleaned all my intercooler piping/intercooler (with the front bar still attached). Ran out of light for the rear sway bar and haven't taken her for a drive yet but hopefully she holds together :)

yeah nice work!

I just tidied up the cable work in my skyline, made it a little nicer.

Waiting for my new gauges and oil cooler to come into stock at SPG then it'll be on!

Hopefully I'll be able to give Funz and Jack a run for their money around basky pirate.gif

How'd you window puzzle go Autumn?

hey bud sorry i didnt get a chance to bring them back today, there different plugs lol not having much luck but i got some off toffy so ill get it working eventually

no go on brakes tho have no idea whats going on, cleaned my afm & throttle body helped it a fair bit, but you were right after cleaning my afm the a/f ration gauge worked properly & im getting way to much air for the stock afm so time to upgrade to a z32 along with some new silicon joiners for the cooler thumbsup.gif

just the stock ecu but just had a read on here & apparently if i get a safc it will fix my rich& retard problem, anyone have some ideas don't have the coin for a new ecu atm but i need the car so would i be better off going z32 or safc? then when i have the coin going for a nistune or power fc ect

any input welcome

cheers

yeah will need some kind of new ecu for z32.. not sure of the safc and if it supports it.

powerfc's can be found pretty cheap, RB26 ones can be modded up easy enough for rb25's , like how mine was modded for the rb20

stock afm tend to only struggle when you hit 190kw + from memory.

not sure what im making maybe some one coudl guess lol

mods:

S2 RB25 DET, rb26 crank,forged rods & pistons ACL race bearing and gasket set, metal head gasket.

ported and polished, port matched head

Nismo N1 oil & water pumps.

splitfire coil packs

Turbo smart fuel pressure regulator

Turbo smart bov

Turbo smart boost controller

front facing plenum

3" exhaust

stock rb25 turbo running 10psi & 13psi ( depending on settings )

stock rb25 ecu

just before it jerks around & goes into R&R the a/f ratio goes to 15.1 -15.5 then goes into like error mode & has the hole air side full ( drift defi gauges )

might look into the safc till i can afford the pfc

the apexi SAFC will definatly work with the z32. they give multiple afm options when setting them up.

nnon of these mods will make the stock afm max out. non of it should affect the reading like it is but in saying that if the fuel pressure has been screwed up that will cause it to run rich with out the apropriate tune. does the red have a gauge on it? its definatly what i would be checking next.

a safc is only a bandaid solution

if you want a cheap option then there is a way of making a z32 ecu run the rb25's and the z32 ecu's can be nisstuned

gt gratage will do nistune install and tune for $1000 but thats for a straight forward install (rb25 neo or s13 etc)

have a look on the nistune site tho, pretty sure it says what you need to do

nistune are underrated and a lot of ppl are pushing decent numbers with them, they also let you keep the stock funtions for things like aircon and cold start and once chipped are as tuneable as most aftermarket ecus

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
