Yep, it was actually built by Racingline. I gave it to Ice but they split before they got started and it was finished by Nigel and Karl at Racingline.

It is now owned by another forum member.

I live right next door to the Daily Planet lol

Aiming to get back to the dyno the weekend (or Friday) after the easter long weekend.

Guilt, will you be free sometime around then?

I want to wind the boost up from 17PSi to 19PSi also. Hopefully then with a bit more boost and the hi flow cat, it will crank out ~300AWKW.

It will be interesting to get a power run done on a Sydney Dyno down the track to compare results.

+1 for pepe's avatar.. :)

What other body parts did she flash you?

Sorry to get off topic here, but until there is more information about Bakes's build the boobies have caught my attention!

yeah mate, you know the score, whenever you are ready!

you should get the shirt man to finish that timing belt first though imo

Did he forget to tighten another one? LOL LOL

Just kidding Bakes i am sure it will be fine.

Guys if you have a look at this post, it appears a "before" power figure was known (late December 2008);

Im starting to collect parts now for my goal of ~320AWKW.

My R34 GTR was stock when I bought it, I have installed the following:

* Exhaust: HKS Front pipe and Cat Back with Hi Power Muffler.

* Fuel: Nismo Fuel Pump and Fuel Pressure Regulator.

* Control: HKS EVC 6 Boost Controller

* Intake: HKS SPL Piping Kit with Super Flow Pod Filters.

Current Power: 240AWKW at 1.2 Bar

When was the compliance cat discovered? Quite strange to change the front pipes and the cat back without doing cat at the same time, even so, if it was a POS cat, surely any decent exhaust shop wouldve mentioned it when the car was picked up so it could be fixed in the future, or even right then if they were trying to get some more money out of the job at that time.

Very suprised it has a restrictive cat if what Bakes posted in that above post was correct.

Well Bakes, good luck with it :thumbsup:

Car came from Japan with HKS front pipe and HKS rear pipe with Hi Power Muffler and with stock or compliance cat. I wasnt aware it was the stock cat at the time I typed the old info.

Some body probably forgot to take the rag out of the inlet when they had the engine apart to keep all the dirt and crap out and that is what the problem is .

Dont laugh , I've seen it done before .

im my defence i was on my 16th beer and it was only a mates gtr

lol

    • That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways. 
    • Holy hell! That is absolutely stunning! Great work!!!
    • It does when you start adding everything else in. But it's not just compute. It's the logic. Getting your timing right (I'm not meaning ignition timing for the engine). Making sure of your memory mappings, seeing your interrupts. Microcontroller devices only have so much capacity. For the most part, you want all those timers and interrupts in use on your engine control, which means you're left with less than ideal methods for timing and management of other control functions.   Let's put it this way, my job is all about building custom hardware, that goes into cars, and integrates with them. We're also waiting on a media confirmation from SpaceX too fora world first we've just completed with them in NZ too. It's not just the little toys I play with. But you know, you can think and believe what you want.
