anyone know if boost in lton does nistunes yet?

i've heard that brad likes to push the use of microtech and i've been told by some guys in the know that there are much better options

i find that if you do mods yourself you know when stuff isn't quite right and you can usually pinpoint it more easily

hmmm, might have to pay him a visit then......

i thought gt garage in hobart were the main nistuners in tas and a few ppl from lton go down there for nistuning

people go every where over tas to get stuff done because of one reason or another.

all you have to do is ask. ive been dealing with brad for years now and i didnt even know he dealt with nistune untill a few months ago. i guess you never know unless you ask.

brad has had a lot of experiance tuning all kinds of ecus. he profers Haltechs much like fueltech like vipecs. every place has there profered.

at then end of the day the ecu is there to adjust parameters of the engine and how effiently it does this is all that matters. Ecus like wolf and microtech have half as many load points to adjust these that is why they are not viewed to be as good. plenty of people still use them thoe.

when ever you like. just send me a pm and arange a time. they are on my race car and only 5 mins to pull off.

ive also found boost to be cheaper than GT for general tunes and nistunes.

Huge thanks to Damo yet again. Managed to get my speedo working and repair a snapped wire on one of my knock sensors.

Possibly was dodgy connection prior to me snapping wire as I now a full power with no pops/bangs/misfires whatsoever and I now have a working speedo :rofl:

Now touch wood nothing will go wrong so I make the track day in August.

so after talking to the original owner of my 33 im even more interetsed to see what sort of power it has now, turns out that before the engine was rebuilt with 26 goodies it made 207.3rwkw on 12psi & 228rwkw on 15psi

pulled off the rear bar of the 33 today to see how bad the damage is ( was done by the previous ownerspank.gif )

so the 33 currently looks like this sad.gif ( the skyline center garnish is just sitting there so it looks more in on one side)

on a diff note got my rocker covers back thanx to L'ton powder coating shit pics (Fn ipod cam) but will look grate on ,get my plenum and pipes back 2mora

ill add pics as i get them IMG_0152.jpg?t=1308124405(space blue) to go with my other parts :thumbsup:

how much was that if you don't mind me asking?

also, i'd go see brad at boost for a nistune

pretty sure they will support up to about 500hp (don't know exactly) but it will support bigger injectors, bigger afm, and lots of stuff (plus they keep being able to unlock more and more features with every new firmware update)

Send Veeto a PM, he just put a Nistune in his Stagea, pretty cheaply too.

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
