The Thing is that mid week after the meet (5/7) is when my car is going in to get a few more mods done.. :P

I'm getting the boost bleed taken from the plenium chamber (stop boost drop hopefully)

Fuel Tuned & Bigger Fuel Pump & Turbo..

I'll replace the intake hose between the turbo and the afm to a nice smooth one next week some time, and sort out something with the airbox and a new cold air intake for the new airbox.

I'm going to see if I can fit something from a VS V8 as they don't use a bell mouth, they are shaped a little different btw.

I am also going to look at getting the dump/front pipe hpc coated. D&T Exhaust can do it..

Its all about the Intake for the next couple of weeks. Try to pick up all of the response I can.

Umm all that was mod was the suspension.

Adjustable Damper and height Endless Zeal coilovers, about 3.5k worth according to there website, so happy with that.... can hold about 140km/hr down main south on windey bits with them so all good

everything else stock , which is good in my eyes , less chance of it having been thrashed.

I rekon I have lost power tho , seems like it doesnt have the kick it had at first , i think maybe clutch might sorta be slipping, think its stock.

I may be imagining it , prob just getting used to the power of the car now.

When I first got mine it has stock tyres on it 205's.

And it used to chirp them through first then all of a sudden it felt like it had lost power and stopped chirping them.

It was the clutch ever so slightly slipping, then it got worse and worse over a period of around 2 months until it was finally buggered.

Might be the clutch might not.... :P

Mine was..

U prob right Aaron hehe,

Hmm but dunno got a feeling it may be clutch as mine doesn't churp as easily now as it used to, think may have to drive more cafeful for a while , dont feel like blowing the clutch just yet haha.

how much is a new single plate for a GTSt? , one that will last any beating?

ahh i know is it cant handle real high rev starts , slips like hell , its ok on like 3k starts but anything over and its no go.

Yep sounds like your clutch that is exactly what mine did.

I had a Heavy duty organic clutch fitted for $850.

I think you can buy them for around $600 then fit them you self.

That is what i noticed first that it didn't chirp.

Not that I really want to chirp the gears with a rb20det box..

damn isn't it crap weather today!, nothing to do but stay indoors and watch tv and surf the net... ahh well good excuse to do so ;).

Thats not a bad price, looks like exactly what i will be after when its due, only want to stay single plate as twin plate would suck so much in traffic.

Did u get this done at RPM? , more than likely ill get it done at VMS as I know them well tho.

So is the RB20DET box not strong?, hope RB25DET box is stronger :D , dont feel like having to get the gearbox rebuilt.

All up tho I hardly ever drive that car hard.

Actually on the note, I did the fuel test, I can only get about 300km to a tank of Ultimate 98, and that is mostly driving off boost with the occasional boost when seeing a Commodore at the lights :P

Most of this driving was done in the city with a few trips up the freeway.

Is this what you guys get?, I was def hoping for better fuel econ!.

The car does seem to backfire on gear changes now and then, so I think its def running a bit rich, think I may have to take it to RPM to get a tune done.... I reset the ECU and didnt seem to help.

wow 300kays to a tank of juice..

The worst I have ever got is 420 when it just had the red light starting to go on and off.

Usually I get around 470 and with the fmic last tank i got 500kays.

btw this tank i will get a little less because i've started to like the feeling of second coming on to boost and start to slightly wheel spin up in a straight line. :P

When I first got my car like within the day I replaced a fuel filter, slapped a bottle of injector cleaner in and was getting around 420kays to a tank of juice.

Then Tim fitted the fuel pressure bleed kit tuned it up made another 10rwkw and i began getting pretty much exactly 470kays per tank with all of it around the suburbs.

I think the R33's are heaps worse for running rich.

Do your spark plugs, air filter, oil, oil filter, injector cleaner with 1/2 a tank of juice, fuel filter and then a couple of tanks down the track slap another bottle of injector cleaner in just to make sure it is going to get every little bit of crap off.

Also when you do your oil change -- well I slapped in a bottle of that nulon engine oil flush and then changed oils ever 2000km's after that twice then i went back to the normal 5000km's service.

Do your gearbox oil change slap a tube of nulon g70 to help save your syncro's a little and then do the diff oil.

Remember you don't really know what conditions or how the car has been driven so its better to be safe than sorry.

Also ... Do your coolant and most importantly do a full brake fluid flush.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
