yeah I would say just an ECU. The nos kit will come with fuel jets too, so you will just need to fine tune the ign timing and fuel mix a little with the ecu when the nos is active.

man your in some trouble.

The greddy kit is a NOS brand kit with a greddy controler, you buy that and you are paying way to much !!

Much better of buying a local kit. I would look into Zex if that kit was in your budget.

Also that kit I believe is a dry kit. Your really better of with a wet kit for turbo cars(argueable i know)

If you are running a wet kit all you would really need is a good fuel pump and a turbo with a steel wheel.

You won't need ecu/tune or extra injectors with a wet kit.

Or you can burn of your turbo wheel and use it as an excuse to upgrade, waste of $450 turbo though.

Your engine will handle 50hp shot of nos all day every day, just jet the wet kit on the rich side.

Usual nos things also apply. Change heat range in plugs and take about 2 deg of base timing out.

Tuning the NOS on the dyno would be the ideal though.

You DON'T need an aftermarket ECU to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car.

You DON'T need a tune to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car.

You DON'T need a steel wheel on your turbo to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car.

You DON'T need larger injectors if you buy a 'wet' kit to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car.

You DON'T need to adjust your timing to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car.

You DON'T need a fancy progressive controller in your car to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car.

====================================================================

You DO need '7' heat range spark plugs to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car. (BCPR7ES @ 0.8mm)

You DO need a reliable fuel pump to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car.

You DO need someone with half a brain to fit it and work out a tune (with the jets) to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car.

You DO need to bear in mind that you shouldn't be activating it under about 3000rpm to support that level of Nitrous Oxide use in your car.

I think you will find that this is very simular to those that say 15psi + on an rb25 turbo = wheel off

It works for some people and not for others, its just a rule of thumb.

At any rate I don't think you could argue it will increase the chances of the wheel coming off and people should be warned.

I am sure you have some story of how you did it and it was fine for you ... IN YOUR CASE.

The same applies for the timing, all thnigs being equal you are probably right. Bad or low octane fuel will make you wrong.

Stumbled accross an un-questionable net god have I ?

If he know's "his shit" he will know not everyone is always right about things(including myself :blink: ) they believe to be true and accept other peoples opinions for what they are .....

Just remember who said you shouldn't argue with me....it wasn't me and I don't think an argument is necessary. Just so we're clear. I very much appreciate your very last statement. :D

It's very different to that scenario, in fact. Running a stock RB25 turbo at 15psi is dramatically different to running the small amount of Nitrous as described in the first post. This is from experience and measurable EGT's etc not from guessing.

At any rate I don't think you could argue it will increase the chances of the wheel coming off and people should be warned.

For a number of reasons it can actually decrease the likelihood of exhaust wheel de-lamination.

I am sure you have some story of how you did it and it was fine for you ... IN YOUR CASE.

What I've said above is based on experience on more than just my car but certainly mostly on my car. However, these suggestions are very different to a sensible rule like the suggestion that you probably shouldn't run 15psi+ on a stock ceramic wheeled turbo for long periods (which I absolutely agree with). They are based on results and facts as well as undeniable measurements taken over a few years by myself and on the vast experience of those with many years more nitrous experience than myself.

The same applies for the timing, all thnigs being equal you are probably right. Bad or low octane fuel will make you wrong.

The same can be said of any modification so I hardly think that's a fair statement. Even if you did re-tune a car for nitrous, you wouldn't tune it with 10:1 AFR's - you'd stick it where it made the most power and safely. Just like too much ignition timing, boost, compression etc, low octane fuel makes for problems.

One more thing on the ignition issue - if you'd genuinely like to understand why adjusting the timing for such low levels of nitrous oxide isn't necessary, please PM me and I'll explain it. Same as anything, when you understand a couple of key points it becomes really simple. It would surprise some to know that you can actually start putting extra timing in when using a moderate amount of gas! :D

Yep, sorry dude. Wasn't having a go at you.

Its a pet annoyance of mine when people get idiolised(with or without good reason) and you are not allowed to have a different opinion.

I am interested in this comment, if you wish to explain it further ?

For a number of reasons it can actually decrease the likelihood of exhaust wheel de-lamination.

I agree with everything else you say. Be quite intersted in your EGT results too if you wish to share ?

Buy the NOS kit from ROCKET it will be far cheaper.

I ran 100-150hp wet nos kit on my V8 soarer with only a decent fuel pump. We also set up quite a few NA 300zx with 100-150hp NOS kits and all are still going strong 6 years later, reliability is all in the setup and restraint on behalf of the owner....... it is too easy to keep fitting bigeer and bigger jets until something goes wrong.

Be sensible and you will have no issues. The ceramic wheel on the turbo may be an issue if you go too big in the jet size but for 60-80hp you should be sweet.

hay nothing wrong with running 15 psi on a stock turbo, for some reason i can't kill mine, been doing it for a year now, and the bustard still wont die. Actually its 15.6 psi. HIHIH.

hahha soon it will happen lol. I ran 17psi on my ceramic turbo, lasted 12months then one day i took off from a set of lights and then i heard a ching ching ching sound, and then no more boost more me hahha. Its fun taking out our cat to remove all the peices of the ceramic turbine... :laughing-smiley-014:

As 2rismo has already said, setup wise there isn't too much in the way of hardware required.

The tune is important however. Getting the mixtures right with the fuel and nitrous jets isn't really hard it's a little time consuming. 2rismo, may have a few combo's to try if you start with similar components. The timing needs a little backing off and you need to be prepared to drive the car a little differently. If you can get the solenoids as close to the jets in the intake as you can, so you don't have any 'run on' and you get a better hit if you haven't invested in a purge kit (still no where near as good though).

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You have found the problem. The wire from the switch to the HB is shorted to earth. Now you have to physically find it and replace it. It won't be the switch, although following the steps above (and yes, where you ask, that is the light switch on the RHS of the binnacle) will rule it out for sure. Or not, if perhaps the switch has melted. But there's no route to earth inside the switch, so I can't see how it would.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      I did read your post, a few times actually.    Done. Followed this step. [Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.]   Did this partially.. now that im reading this over, i only unplugged the LED lights. [Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches.] When you are talking about the switch, you're talking about the knob thing on the right side in the drivers seat right? If so, i need to take that apart?  [Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch.] At this point are you referring to the connector by the headlights?  [If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.] Did this. I can confirm that the LED lights aren't the issue [Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.]

      I need more than help to finish my R33

      By marni · Posted

      Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄
