im going with the vipec because its one they always use .. who said it would always be a streeter ? :thumbsup:

i was !! but after today i spent a few hours looking into ecu's and other items

so now my car will be going down to CONFIDYNE

for a motec or maybe haltec ecu and dyno tune .

as for the mods there still from befor install turbo . timeing belt . nice clean up new fluids .. maybe fuel pump and some little bits nothing to big :cheers:

Hmm I would be keen for a dyno run to get a 'before' statement before I hit engine modifications.

What sort of ride height should I be looking at to actually manage getting on the dyno :whistling:

If you can fit your foot under the car it'll get up there.

I wouldn't bother with a motec, you pay a pretty big premium for no extra features, and the ones with the extra featues are $3000-$5000.

Just wondering if you have contacted Boost in Launceston for a ecu/tune? Just seem a lot of hassle to go all the way to ulverstone.

hey mate. you are oviously new to this but there is more than one place to get a haltech or motec instaled around tas and for quite varying fees.

a bit of experiance has shown me that dealing with one good workshop for all work is by far the best way to get the most out of a car and enjoyment. all tuners will tune any car off the street but they are unlikely to put 100% into the job. if the workshop does all the mechanical work to a car they will then know that the engine is in sound condition, or maybe a bit tire,. also that all parts have been installed correctly thus allowing them to put a bit of back ground knolage into the performance of the car.

if you was planing on getting workshop a to do all the work then decided to get workshop b to finish it all off do you think workshop a is gooing to put its extra bit of effort into the job. if you want what workshop b does then maybe consider getting it all done by them.

in your case workshop a has already lead you down the wrong track so whats to say they are doing anything wright. this is only assumed from the info given by you.

every one on here is right in saying that a nistune will give you by far the best bang for buck at this stage. but non of them have pointed the out possibly the cheapest and best place to get one. you just have to look around a bit.

what ever you do dont get Motec's new budget plug in ecu. it is rubbish and hard to use compared to the likes of vipec and haltech

i would only ever run a Motec if i was running a top top end race car. they just arent user friendly enough for amature racing. haltech, vipec, link most of these will do 100% of what any amature needs.

you seemed to listn to the advice from before so hopefully you will have a bit of a think about your next step to.

im thinking of changeing . as my tuner now cant keep going with my needs so there just installing the turbo kit for me and doing the service .. ulverston is slose for me the hobart one i dont trust the dyno tuner up here ..im calling them monday wen i was talking to them they said the platnum ecu and haltek only come in that from wat if hurd they are working on a 33 and other nissans so a know there got there foot up in there in wat i need unlike mine that are more v8's if they where to tune it for me i would keep going back thats why im not getting my machanic to install the vipic then go somewhere new and ask for a dyno tune i would like one dyno tuner to do the rest of the work for me yer i should have started with them but as u said im new pinch.gif

    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
