Just posting this as i haven't seen any up to date dealing with this company.

Got there this morning and spoke to Herman, was only looking at getting a SAFC II fitted to the car, had a bit of a chat to him and found out that they are now a NISTUNE dealer.

Having looked into this before it was a few days turn around from other suppliers, I asked them what the turn around time was, to my pleasant surprise he said 2-3 hours, as they keep them in stock.

Ran the car on the dyno to see what it was doing.. I have now got the record for what he said was the dirtiest (fuel out the exhaust) skyline he has seen!!!

Had a bit more of a chat and decided to go with the NISTUNE as it just seemed like the better option..all up the NISTUNE was fitted and tuned to my car for $1000 bucks

Car went from 155kw to 221kw, backed off slightly to 216kw due to a slipping clutch.

Spoke about future mods that i should do with the car, any question that i had was answered, and he even explained a few things i wasn't aware of.

Im just posting this up as it is always good to see positive feedback about a garage, they will defiantly be seeing my car back in there.

Mick!!

I would assume for 216kws, he has upped his boost a lot, or it's a happy dyno (which is the word on the street for envy).

But the peak power isn't really important, it's the delivery of that power and I'm sure now with a tuned ECU that you're happy as larry!

Massive gain there Mick, you have to be happy with that :D

Are you still running standard boost?

No boost controller atm, they recon with a EBC and wastegate i will be pushing high 230 , low 240kw

what about fuel system??

Stock atm.. when i do the EBC im going to upgrade the fuel pump, they recomend a intank walbro

Good to hear!

Herman was asked to guestimate how my car would go on Dyno at the SAU Event 16/08/08 and with my minimum mods/boost

he was only 8kw under.

BTW, he would have upped your boost a bit?

Hey terry, i think herman said that the boost is up to around 15pound but bleeds of to around 12pound, hence the need for a better wastegate

I would assume for 216kws, he has upped his boost a lot, or it's a happy dyno (which is the word on the street for envy).

But the peak power isn't really important, it's the delivery of that power and I'm sure now with a tuned ECU that you're happy as larry!

Yea power delievery is so much better.. just felt like a new car when i left the place.. even the girfriend said she could notice the difference!!

Id say the stock fuel system will be very close to its limit..

my stock fuel pump died cause a certain workshop tuned it with a fuel cut defender on 12psi and made just under 200rwkw (not envy)

went to unigroup and had the walbro installed - much better and then when I did the turbo conversion had the larger z32 afm and 555cc nismo injectors

once you get them, get a retune and you'll be laughing :huh:

However your stock turbo may not last..

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
