^ only 166? Should have been much higher... the power of ECU for the SR, big gains

Power to weight also plays a part.

But meh, if he wants 200 for now, and then wants a bit more, plenty of room to move on ALL the stock parts.

Hell i made 250rwkw @ 12.5psi on the stock ECU without a drama

had stock on my gtst... then 185... then 265... soon to be be 300 with e85 when i get datalogit and a bloody e85 pump close by...

i'm now thinkin about a 33 gtr in around a year.... i just hope 350awkw will hold me :/

sellin your turbo kit to me yeah?

If its a GTR that u have.. why u wanna waste ur money on a "hi flow" cat???

the stock unit is extremely hi flow... gettin anything other than like a metal cat or magic cat is a waste of time.. :S

There's a really high chance he's got a compliance cat and not the Japanese GTR cat on it....(a quick check under the car will confirm :rofl:).

Yeah only 166; it was auto though so some drivetrain loss. I didnt have an ECU but did have aftermarket s/s turbo manifold.

Must say though that power to weight was great; I can really feel the big skyline required some revs to take off especially with the lightened flywheel.

Just to bring this old thread alive, for about 200-220awkw would anyone recommend a power fc d jetro over the standard power fc?

Also, is it worth getting a HKS, Apexi, etc. cat/exhaust vs some cheaper x force type brand?

From a little research I'm thinking an upgraded panel filter, down pipes, hi flow cat/metal cat, 3" exhaust and pfc djetro should be sufficent for now and should I be bitten by the bug for more power :( I don't want to have to upgrade stuff later. My theoretical maximum I would want to take it to is 300-330awkw (I know I know I say that now :))

1. no. regular pfc is fine. easier to install and much cheaper. just get that.

2. in my opinion yes. I like the japanese exhauts and think they are worth the money. they typically fit better, sound better and use better quality/grade material when compared to chinese made x-force etc. others will argue it makes no difference to performance. as for the cat, yes definitely get a good brand, metal substrate like a magic cat, or apexi, or sard or nismo cat. they will flow more.

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
