hello,

well after about 8 months of my R33 draining every last cent out of me i 'almost' have it back (this is why the banks in the USA are going bankrupt, from funding my engine modifications :D ) car still sitting on dyno, getting a 'safe' tune which includes; 2860-5, 770's, link g4, profect B, custom dumps, manifods, nismo pump, FMIC, cam gears, hks twinplate etc etc......has made 240RWKW at 10lbs, going to be running her to about 18lbs as the engine is unopened, pretty stoked so far as this is about what it ran at 15lbs (power fc, cam gears, exhaust, pods) will update final power/torque etc when finished, hope this is a help to anyone wanting to mod there car?

cheers robbie

They do steal from ya dont they!!! my wallet hasnt really closed since i got my gtr.

Well done on the power but it seems a bit low to me; my car is on 255awkw/270-290rwkw at 14psi with stock turbz, stock dumps, stock front, stock cams/gears.

If i missed something here i apologize; perhaps a low reading dyno?

holly crap, that some sweet power!

um no just a rolling dyno, but my mechanic said he was tuning it in full 4WD, i kinda thought he would have used a HKS split, and tuned it in rear wheel, but im probably not knowing what i was talking bout? would that drain a bit more power?????

The mechanic would probably have disconnected the front drive to run it rwd. Im kinda concerned bout your power though, I had my first dyno run at protek and they only managed 235awkw costing $400ish. Wasnt happy so i took it to CREATD ms and they tuned it to 255awkw costing $500ish.

Alot of ppl will back me to say, its all down to the skill of the tuner.

have you had a compression test on ur car?

      A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years

      To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
