Ill be at happy laps at qr bring it on : P

We're looking at this on either the 14th or 21st of July.

We also need 100+ Skylines at LP for the Lakeside classic on the 21st.

Ants love the sticker. Rush I'll pm you tonight with something I want made up for Nicks car

Spoke to him about this yesterday and he's keen to get something made up. Let's not tell Nick though.

I now know why admin staff have that glazed look, After 3 hours working on a spreadsheet I too have lost the will to live.

You poor thing.

Haha oh god, that one can go on Tonys car, and chants and I can keep the proper one

ok, so that would mean the maxima would have "naturally aspirated" and the a-bomb would have "naturally retarded"

Spoke to Gavin....................

Long story short, looks like insurance settlement has come through. I will remain cynic until I see it in my bank account :verymad:

I told him how long would it take for him to complete it. He said, a couple of weeks................. WTF???????

He needs to work on it when he has spare time.............. WTF again??????????

He needs to come on the weekends to work on it............ again WTF ??????????

completed the intake side................was already completed last time I saw it????

Perhaps your not using the right sized stick to speak to him with.

I'm presuming this was meant for me?

I presume this means you are an accountant?

Lol, that being the case, do you handle small business and personal accounting? If so perhaps you can shoot me over a number to contact you on to discuss so things?

Short answer to all of the above is yes.

Will send you a pm with contact details.

100+ skylines ??... i did not see any event on the forum...

quickly give me the low down on this crank trigger setup mate - as I'm no expert.

the problem we encounter with Nissans in general is the CAS location and the fact that it is very high resiloution. It uses the camshaft to determine the position of the crank. The timing belt flexes as you load it up. With the high resolution of the nissan trigger disc any flexing of the timing belt results in CAS signal fluctuations hence making your timing all over the place some times shifts of up to 8 degrees! So in order to get the car running safely you have to account for these fluctuations and end up with a car that is no where near where its timing limits in case the timing jitters effectively advance the timing past the point where you will get pinging (like mine does).

To solve this issue you can run a crank trigger, so instead of trying to read the cranks position off the camshaft, which introduces variables like the ones mentioned above, you read the cranks position directly off the crank, much less room for error and a much more robust set up. With the crank position signal so steady you can really tune the piss out of it as you know the whole basis of the tune is rock solid.

Thanks bunta. That has explained a lot of things :thumbsup: Where can we get a crank trigger from?

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
