Went for the tune today and made 255awkw... I wonder whats the difference between rwkw and awkw... =(

But the car feels soooo much smoother now.

It’s around a 15% driveline loss.

So say 255awkw + 15% loss (38kw) = 293rwkw = 392rwhp

Which is about right for a standard N1.

@super coach tristan: tried a new grip tonight and got 51 with a strike rate of ~210 :blink:

Also got about 2 dozen stumpings and catches behind the stumps and a few wickets bowling. Good night (y)

To break it down more, rwkw to flywheel kw is roughly x1.33

so, 293rwkw x 1.33 = 389FLYWHEEL KW

Both post's above are rough, everyone has different veiws on loss and conversion rates

Maybe all these while the 300kw I had in mind was rw not aw. But the fact that the car feels lighter/smoother really surprises me. 1st gear used to hit limiter at 60-70km/h now it goes up to 80+. Amazed.

A stock N1 will never make 300awkw, unless the dyno is happy, or you tell the tuner to input 300awkw on the graph lol.

Your car is very healthy and is on par - What else is done to it?

Wooooo good shit

Ok, the list is as below

1) Trust Ti-R exhaust

2) HKS Front Pipe

3) Apexi Power FC

4) Apexi Boost Controller Kit

Thats all. Everything else is stock. 1.15bar I think (on the pfc hc). Cant get it to hold 1.2bar. No engine mods. Injectors are max at 90%.

Glad to hear the tune is good Brandon, who tuned it for you?

They must have lifted the rev limit a bit :blink:

Gavin Woods @ Autotech. Shit loads of GTRs... oh and 1 Tommy Kaira 32 (dont know real or not)

Sort out why it's not holding more boost

- Get a better fuel pump

- Throw in some larger injectors

- Get a good set of cam gears

Spend more time on tuning and you will have a friggin quick car..

Your lack of boost.. They're N1's even 1.2bar is tame... and lack of fuel is why you only got 255awkw. IMHO, with the above and a very good tune you should get up around 280awkw, if you run more than 1.2bar..

If I'm ever gonna get it tuned again, I'll try Matt Spry.

Both Gavin and Matt gave me a good impression when I called comparing to the others.

He reckon its restriction. Or maybe injectors (he's not comfortable running higher than 90%). Or might be the boost controller (I've heard the kit doest hold boost very well after 20psi)

Don’t get me wrong, Gavin knows more about Nissans than most people – however to cut a VERY long story short, I bought a second hand Q45 throttle body from a wrecker, unknown to me at the time the wrecker swapped the TPS unit for a ca18 unit, which meant the car wasn’t tunable… My car was with Gavin for a full day and he couldn’t find what was wrong with it.

I took it to Matty and he found within 5 minutes that the TPS had been swapped over, we put the correct Q45 TPS in and had it tuned…

I know where I will continue to keep going back

    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
    • Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
    • The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
    • Shit. Starting to look like a car again.
    • its Masterton Motorplex just over the hill out of wellington.
