thanks for the heads up for what to expect down the track

you absolutely right in what you say but i said it did have an aftermaket ecu but that has been removed and how the hell do you tell if the turbo has been hiflowed, metal turbine when it within the same housing .yeah i know i should got a test performed but i fell into the mistake of letting my heart take over my mind.. he is chasing up the receipt for the turbo though so eventually one way or another i will find out but it definatley goes harder than a stocky with just exhaust/pod/fmic etc. anyway i do appreciate your comments none the less and thanks...

Hey Dazza its my workshop so tell me what you want and i will give you a price.

David

ah ha... cool david.

I firstly would love a dyno to see what I am looking at with the present setup.

I dont plan getting an aftermarket ecu or increase the boost at all as it goes hard enough and i will be daily driving it as it is.

I do plan on getting another muffler put in as I want to be legal with noise & EPA and i plan on putting the standard airbox back in if i can (depending on fmic piping.(you may know if this is possible without cutting it up?)

So once this is done then possibly a tune..

I dont think its had a major service done so I suppoes this in lieue of the tune (above)..

I dont want an animal of a car so any advice would be appreciated and your so close its not funny...

any advice would be appreciated as well Dave....

Dazza

Hi dazza as i wrote in the email,

the only way to tune a stock ecu is a re map and if you want that can be done later.

A power run will let you know what you currently have and how it is running.

Any jap cat back with a mid mount and rear muffler will be legal and give it a nice rb note.

As for a major service that would include new water pump timing belt tensioner and idler always good while the front is off to put in a new thermostat oil plugs coolant then diff and gear box oil as well for the full works then the usual checks.

The cost start to add up in just parts for a major service.

    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.  
    • It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
