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.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
