We got our Skyline back from our tuners on Friday and took it to a airfield track on Sat for a shakedown. The cars now running 500bhp at 1.5bar, 428bhp @ wheels ;)

Check out that power curve, awesome :notworthy

Some footage from Elvington on Sat. Bear in mind Im out for a bit of a prat around and to find the limits of the car, Im not going for ultimate lap times:

Right click and save as, 10.3mb

What 500bhp does to a poor unsuspecting passenger. Be warned LOTS of bad language:

Right click and save as, 6.8mb

Good result... the videos are amusing. ;)

Interesting venue where ur out at aswell. Looks almost like dirt hehe

I reckon if you spend a bit more time on the dyno there is some decent mid-range to be found there.

(if im doing the numbers correctly :))

You have around ~230rwkw @ 5500rpm

And then only ~260rwkw @ 6000rpm

Here is the smaller -20g for comparison

I reckon you can have a lot more in it.

Just a question, on the graph its making 1.5bar from before 3400rpm, is that an error or something? Its a little small for my eyes ;)

The graph is correct, the car runs 1.5bar from 3500rpm to 7500rpm :O

Its an airfield made up of a mixture of concete and tarmac. Theres loads of run off so its nice and safe to learn the capabilities of the car. We are trying to get it booked into a 'proper' track this week.

How would we get more midrange without a boost spike? The power delivery at the moment is excellent, very progressive and predictable. The car would actually be very usable for drifting as it is so responsive and has so little lag. Or at least it will be once I get rid of the Hicas.

We are hitting a bit of a brick wall at the top end, more boost just moves the entire power curve to the left a bit but peak power doesnt change. Any ideas? We think maybe the throttle body is a restriction.

Its taking a very long time to make power if its holding 1.5bar for over 2000rpm before the solid power arrives.

Whats the exhaust like? 3.5" or more?

Hrm... the tuning experts will know more :whistling:

It runs a 3" quiet exhaust and we have plumbed the external wastegate back onto the down pipe so we can pass the track noise restricitons. I have a more free flowing exhaust on order and we are looking at a mini silencer for the wastegate so we can seperate it from the downpipe :3some:

3" with a plumbed screamer...

I reckon thats the problemo right there.

I lost HEAPS of response when i had my screamer plumbed in as i only had a 3" exhaust.

For that power you really need 3.5 or better yet a 4" :whistling:

Nice work :whistling:

Looks like there is still alittle bit more I can get out of mine then :kiss: 1.5bar at under 4k? thats nice...my GT35R isnt on full song until mid 4k rev range

might have to remove the plumb back pipe on my screamer and see what the results are like then Ash :3some:

Cheers

JB :laugh:

dude that thing looks like a weapon..... now why cant i get power and response like that out of my setup!!!! :whistling:

also justa a question, u still running standard gearbox???

Standard gearbox but its starting to crunch into 4th and 5th. Not sure if its a syncro or clutch release issue.

Bren,

Out of interest, what size is the exhaust housing on the TD06-25G?

Greddy (Trust) list 8cm, 10cm and 12cm housings for the TD06.

Cheers.

Its known as a 25G, I dont have any more info than that to hand Im afraid.

Either the passenger has spent his entire life driving excels or the difference between power delivery from the driver and passenger seats is way different because ~300kw feels like im driving a bus. Then again, when it comes to braking for a corner you suddenly realise how fast you are going.

Who's job is it to realign all the cones when somebody has an off?

He was at the track day in a Pugeuot 106 if thats gives an indication of his expectations :)

    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
