So I reckon I have just about finished modding this car now.

Bought it about 3 months ago changed all the fluids, did timing belt, serviced auto trans ect. Replaced sparks and then coils with splitfires as stock ones were mis-firing. That got it running normal. Then did a full 3" exhaust, FMIC, bumped the boost up to 11psi. Bought a SAFC NEO and had it tuned the other day. First few runs it wouldn't do over 148rwkw, then tuner realised fuel pump was stuffed. Put in a high flow pump and tuned the NEO and it pulled 199.3rwkw. Car is much nicer to drive now, pulls very hard throughout the rev range - my Apexi RSM is showing a 1 second improvement in 80-120km/h roll on after tune and it is now 0.8secs faster to 100 than before tune. Hoping to get down to WSID on Wednesday night next week to see what it does down the strip.

When I first bought this car I didnt want any mods, but then one thing leads to another.....ect

Anyway car is a daily so dont want to do any other power mods - as far as reliabilty goes is there any other supporting mods I'm missing? - I want this to last me a while.

That's a pretty good tune with the NEO considering it doesn't have much to play with in regards to timing.

My advice would be to get a transmission oil temp gauge, as a rule of thumb I have to wait until the Engine oil is 90c before I know I can give the car heaps without the auto slipping.

A temp gauge on the gearbox would let me know when the time is right, quicker :stupid:

Trans and dff should be OK at that power level without crazy abuse (shoving in D from N) and that sort of stuff. I've had 2 auto R34's over the past 6 years and neither showed signs of gearbox trauma...even the N/A that was boosted.

wow impressive tune,

how much did the safc neo set ya back (( that is the computer that was tuned right0?

Yeah NEO (piggyback air/fuel controller) was tuned only. PM sent on price i paid.

Have noticed quite low oil pressure the last week at idle - I started a different thread on it, really hoping its not something serious...

Why is your tyre presure 50?

Secondly how do you rate Race solutions to tune a skyline as we know they specialise in rotaries.

No idea on the tyre pressure, Hitman did the tune - I went with him after recommendations from others on this forum. Dyno figures can say whatever, but the RSM dosnt lie (relativley speaking in terms of improvements in times) so I'd rate him very highly.

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated 
    • Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.
    • Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
