Riverside - What turbo are you running on your CA? Sam tuned my car when he was in Brisbane last year, it made 175rwkw on 14psi runnig a VG30 roller bearing turbo, this was befroe he had his real time tuning.

I have just fitted a GT28RS turbo and am looking for a power figure similar to yours.

He's running a GT2871 with the 0.86 rear which is rated at 440hp :)

That was NOTHING!!! Last time I was there we had 2 blown oil seals on turbos, 2 faulty fuel pumps, a water pump snapped on the dyno, a dodgy CA with forgies where the engine builder left the comp too high, leaking injectors, and probably other less significant problems... no to mention it was a consistent 12 degrees warmer last time...

So was my car the only one the first time around (in Brisbane) that didn't have any major problems on the dyno, apart from the turbo not holding boost (Well that is fixed now with the new turbo, holds 15psi from 3400rpm to the limiter).

Although i did have issues after the dyno tune with a broken tailshaft at the drags, maybe to much power :lol: or just a crap tailshaft.

      I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.

      Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.

      gauge needle removal

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task

      Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
