I'm putting R35 coils onto the RB25 shortly, and seems adjusting the dwell in a Power FC isn't straightforward as there's no table labelled " Dwell Ms > Voltage" , and all the info I can find on setting up the R35 coils refers to directly entering the specified ms against the voltage point. While researching I read one post saying the "IGN Vs BattV" table referred to adjusting the actual IGN timing rather than dwell, but it would make much more sense if it referred to the dwell compensation as noted above by Trent, although doesn't seem he was specifically referring to the PFC. I also found this post screenshotted below, and the formula makes sense, giving around 1.7 as the dwell for stock coils. so from there, with that formula making the figures in the "IGN dwell vs RPM" > "Adjust" column around 1.7 for stock coils, to get the R35 coil dwell into the mid-4ms range needed at 14 volts you would need to enter the new increased values into the "Adjust" column at each rpm point, and once done, then move to the "IGN vs BattV" table and enter the change at each voltage as a percentage to get the desired ms at each voltage point. Does that make sense, or does anyone have any details on how new coil dwell should be set up in the PFC? ..thank you

What happens when your turbo nuts fall off

rackmount bushes, nismo vs poly vs oem
hardsteppa replied to nicostar's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Also nismo and oem are rubber..my oem ones looked fine after 16 years when i pulled them out. -

hardsteppa replied to nicostar's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
^^^agreed. Went from oem to superpro, now have nismo. Don't think i'd be able to tell the difference in a blind test...aluminium might be a dufferent story. Given its not a moving part, wear as such shouldn't be an issue. -
What happens when your turbo nuts fall off
hardsteppa replied to GTSBoy's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
I've found those OEM locking tabs to be useless, even when hammered with an extension so it forms around the nut....so i don't bother with them anymore. Only thing that has stayed in place for me was using inconel studs and copper locktab nuts....stayed on damn tight, so far. -

yeah mate, lean idle issue - RB25DET
hardsteppa posted a topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
so, car is a 1996 s2 R33, RB25DET engine, running a PFC and aftermarket fuel rail. The unused centre cap of the rail had a fine leak spraying fuel out so pulled it out and put a new cap/seal on, and black Toyota FIPG on the threads cos it's a bitch to pull out and i don't want it to leak ever again. Rail/injectors are just on 6 months old (1/2 length Bosch ev14 960cc injectors). Had a real problem finding o-rings in stock though so only found new o-rings for the top (fuel) end of the injectors, and re-used lower manifold-end o-rings, which were still flexible/compliant. Starting it up this morning after finishing the job last night - no leak from the fitting, but now idling 18:1 + afr. Afr's go back to normal 14.7:1 range as soon as driving and up in the rpm range, it's just at idle, and is lumpy as a rotary too. I am thinking slight air leak through manifold-end o-rings on one or more injectors, enough to make it run lean, but any further thoughts or feedback would be appreciated. Further info - when coilpack connections are pulled off one at a time it becomes a definite misfire, so all cylinders are still firing, just not fully/normally. - fuel pressure is still fine, 2.5bar at idle, changes under load/vac. - ign timing is still fine and 15 deg (Had tuned up idle and timing just before i did this job, was idling bang on 800-830rpm where i want it, and 15 deg timing). - new throttle body gasket was fitted too. - Only issue before doing this was the slight fuel spray/leak, the car itself was running freakin fantastic, and pulling out/refitting the injectors and rail was all that was done - apart from removing/refit all the other shizz you need to, to get to the fuel system.- 7 replies

RB25 hydraulic lifter replacement
hardsteppa replied to Wheezy's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Or you can dismantle and service them, despite engine manual saying no...i think its just time consuming, not done it myself. -

hardsteppa replied to Wheezy's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Ok, so is there something wrong with your current lifters, that you need to replace them? -

Wich skyline do you like most
hardsteppa replied to Slap's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
I like the R37 the most...i'm ahead of my time. My favorite features would have to be the Whisper Mode and the gun turret that follows wherever the driver looks. Oh wait...no that's Blue Thunder, my mistake.. -
how did you go with the rack ends, find what you need? Info is here from the Roadsafe catalogue. rack end is exactly that; the bit that screws into the steering rack, and tie rod end goes onto the end of those. It's worth replacing all as they're important lol, and you need a wheel alignment after replacing any 1 of them. Bursons are a better place to get these, rather than Supercheap or Repco. GK Tech do a cut-to-length rack end that are good/cheap, and a great cromoly hicas delete bar too.

rated to 300rwkw? almost 500hp at engine? not bad for organic clutch, GLWS. -
welcome mate, Brissy eh? I look forward to selling you some R33 parts lol... Maybe start a thread for your project in the "builds" forum? always good to see other projects take shape.

no, he didn't say he was doing the work himself, he said he was looking to install himself. I assumed OP is a camshaft...or possibly a turbocharger. I may have read it wrong.

lollllll... pretty sure RHDJPN had L-jetro PFC's for $1400ish? But as above, a MAF isn't THAT bad to warrant spending soo much just to remove it. Fair enough if wanting to upgrade ecu for other reasons, but not just for the maf when you have flexibility on that anyway with the pfc. The wolf 3d is ok but has it's own issues. Having used both Power FC and Wolf 3Dizzle, no fkn way I would spend a large amount of money on ecu+tuning to swap to it.

Bov now much quieter after hardpipe? (stock airbox)
hardsteppa replied to Pattey21's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
grab yourself an apexi pod filter if you want bov noise cyka, you do get a reasonable sound from the stock bov then...if you're running a decent amount of boost that is; you won't hear much on 10 psizzle. -

qld R33 R34 return flow FMIC kit
hardsteppa replied to hardsteppa's topic in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)
I did...not interested thanks mate. From what i have seen, you would be lucky to find a fmic kit for under 150, so its well priced as it is. -
9 inch wide, +27 offset front and rear. Tiny bit of bend-out on rear guards, not actually rolling, and will fit front and rear fine. Or +30 offset, fit easily.

Download workshop manual. Read relevant section. It covers this. The issue you will have is that, in my experience, the exact size bearings are sold as 'each' by nissan and cost a fortune, as opposed to being able to buy a standard-0 sized full set cheaply.
