great turnout - thanks to all of those who helped organise the day and set it up

good meet some of the new members too, i was the guy with ash on the bbq (im in the orange autosalon shirt)

lots of good cars and a wide ranges of results. even some mid 300kw cars which is good

if anyone has any questions on what the info on their dyno sheet means or what the curves actually tell you post up and we can provide advice/help

and recommend changes to make the car perform better, etc etc.

Hi guys! Anyone that joined up yesterday, please don't all send me 50 PMs, your access to the members only section will come into effect in the next few days and anyone still needing stickers should get them around Wed, so let me know if there's any outstanding issues at the end of the week :D

Thanks guys,

Cheers!!

202kw's for me. Not bad but there are plenty of guys making more than that.

Thanks to the organisers. I had fun except the defect on the way down there.

Who won the 'guess the kw' comp?

ah nice

i got 204.8

need to get my boost controller in and a bigger fuel pump and z32

then shell make some good numbers :P

Yup, the oldest skyline at the day held its own against its larger capacity brothers and all with a stock turbo. :D

Another RB20 came very close that had a 2535, nice curve as well.

Then there was a white 32 with an RB20.......that began its ramp up with af/r's starting at 17:1 and dissapearing off the top of the chart. Operator backed right off and I assume he thought something was amiss as they redid the sniffer and started again to get the same result.

Engine was obviously a time bomb but owner is lucky he spent the couple dollars to put it on as it has saved him an engine.....if its not already too late.

yeh it was 2 cars before me

made like 80rwkw cause they had to back off

Get a K&N panel filter, should allow it to breath easier.

Does you dump pipes and cat look like this?

<image links removed but appreciated :D>

Standard dump pipes will look like straws compared to these. LOL!

They are probably aftermarket because they're big and thick (with surface rust :D ).

I measured it recently and I couldn't seem to get an accurate measurement before the cat but its a thick pipe, somewhere between 9 and 10inches circumference so about 3inch thick near the cat...(hard to measure). The exhaust itself appears to be roughly 3.3inches near the end so its probably a 3inch pipe.

The compliance cat is about 8.5 inches round or so, it worked out to roughly 2.5inches entry and its very thin and flat, looks like it won't be flowing much air.

I would take a photo but I'd need to jack up the car and its going for tuning in a week or two so I'll know for sure then.

New cat and highflow panel filter, tuned boost controller and PowerFC (replacing the mines ECU) should make a huge difference over the previous 156.6 awkw :P

Really? Thats nice to know :D

How do the AFR's look? Look all over the place to me lol

afr's look typical for stock ecu, they like richen up the higher the revs go. Mine used to plumet to near 10 whereas yours are hovering around 11 in top end. more power could be easily made leaning them out a bit more to 12:1, but ofcourse you need to find yourself an ecu... my car runs a flat 12:1 afrs with power fc and makes 202rwkw stock turbo, this was at RE also. I used to get some flat spots the rev range with my stock ecu under increased boost after the exhaust and fmic.

who won lowest power?? by the time i left i was still winning :) (or, losing?)

also, i paid for my renewal but forgot to get the expiry date updated, can i just change it on the card?

ill send you one this week..

same with everyone else that didnt have their card handy.. :)

here's my graph, feel free to analyse it:

dyno-graph-edit2.jpg

just remember it's an NA 300ZX, not a twin turbo. I did a compression test last week, 190psi on all 6 cylinders and I've got an Apexi pod, 2.5 frontpipes, metal cats and cat back and also a lighter tailshaft. stock NA Zed with perfect compression should hit 120rwkw. I think I may have hit the Jap speed limiter though.

abit dissapointed that I only got 1 run... started missfiring and Ray backed off (he's got good ears.. I didn't hear anything until it returned to idle.. sounded like a rexy). Was only the coil pack connectors coming loose so I dropped a cylinder... just pushed them back on but there was no point asking for another run as they'd just come off again. my fault for being lazy, I have the new connectors in my room but didn't install them because my coilpack connectors have never come off under normal load on the street. Also need to sort out some vacuum leaks and replace O2 sensors.

I want to go back for another run after I fix everything. Hoping for 125-130rwkw using the stock tune. I think there's definately more in it and maybe next year I'll get extractors and a retune and try and hit 150kw.

Other than that it was good to meet a few people even though i didn't stay for long, won't feel like such a newb next time I'm at a SAUVIC event. Thanks to all the people who organised it.

Oh hey Jordan!

Ya bro happy with the dyno chart? If not free up that exhaust and let it flow better.

yeah i reckon an exhaust is definitely on the agenda

want to do a few small things first

fix the seat, gear boot, gear nob, tint etc

then a few mods

im still not 100% sure if i just keep it stock or not

maybe just get an exhaust and keep the stock one in the garage, so i can always put stock back on for a fully stock re-sale

i reckon you would fetch more for a stock 32 in a few years than a molested one :D

Yeh i think it was a reasonable result and he was pleased to see that it was all in order - was fresh off the boast only a couple of months back. exhaust is probably on the cards sooner or later especially after he noticed my gtst pulls away from him... :D yet his 'R' pulls hard for 100% stocko :laugh:

    • For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
