Ok, so finally got around to geting the car in for some work.

Picked it up yesterday afternoon, and so much better.

Unichip back in and tune. As well as water pump, timing belt full service the works.

now up to 141.8 AWKW at 0.75bar. Also the 4WD is working awesome

So much better, awesome to drive, now some suspension work and fuel pump next on the cards.

few small ones, turbo back 3 inch, cam gears, bigger cooler, tranny cooler, fuel pump which is on the way out apparently.

Boost module isn't working apparently so putting a new one in to try so just a bleed valve for now.

Laptop hooked up to the unichip and tuned through there i believe.

Hi RubyRS4, another option if it's a S2, is the Nistune - not a piggyback solution but basically a whole new computer (makes it fully programmable). Mine set me back just over a few hundred and that was including installation into my ECU (sent it away, got it express-posted back). Boostworx in Adelaide (just off South Road) handles them. Matt handles the type 4 board install (attn: Matt - [email protected]).

I also just got my car back from a remap. Got the nistune board, the install itself and the remap done for $650. Now running at about 11psi and getting 163.9kw. The drive is sooo much better. Need a bigger dump pipe (still got stock), bigger injectors and a bigger turbo and that 163.9kw will become as slow as a snail, haha. But since it is my daily I'm in no rush to get it done, it'll just make my car more conspicuous and less expendable...

That's pretty good for a stocker! Just a bigger exhaust will give you a useful power increase and if you get the right one it won't be too noisy.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
