Hey guys, I'm still cruising around Townsville so wave to the bloke in the turbo'd Tokyo taxi if you get the chance. I'm also trying to decide on a few things. My ride has some issues and its been tough to get some of them sorted. Boost creeping past 15psi, hesitation at 5k and stalling. Up until now the main issue has been cash flow (I'm studying - hence strapped) but I've got some plastic cash put aside now so I run into a second problem. Who will do the work?

So far the choices appear to be Paul at Extreme and Lee at LG Automotive for the mechanical (unless anyone else started tuning Nistune in the last year and I've missed it?) and Prestige Paint and Panel for some touch ups to the body work.

Any other ideas?

Deal, remember to bring it with you when you come up here.

Just had a look then and apparently it got thrown out a few weeks ago while I was at work. I'll try and find one from someone in Mackay for you tonight if you want

If anyone is interested I also have a turbosmart dual stage Boost controller and a set of anodized blue tuner wheel nuts (the ones taleb tyres sell)

paul at whitehouse st is the best for skylines, just hope you have very deep pockets. go to northern crash repairs on bays water rd their work is pretty good.

what work you looking at getting done?

Hey man how bout dynolink?

Hmm, When I emailed them last year they said they didn't really tune nistune but could do me a viptech for a cool four grand.

It's already got a 3076R and some supporting add ons but it needs a decent tuner to get the best out of it. Right now I don't get much love above 5k because it either over-boosts until it cuts out or it hesitates so much it feels like the engine is just about to fall out of the bottom of the car. I think I will end up taking it to Paul. He had a little trouble with the software last time I had him look at it but I think I've got it sorted now. Plus he didn't have his dyno up and running then.

As for the body work... It's been to northern crash repair and I wasn't too pleased with the finished result. Nothing major just little things that could have been done better. EG: Small dint left in a freshly painted bonnet, bonnet wasn't aligned correctly, the body kit could have been better secured and tighter.

definately go see paul, i had the same setup and it was awesome once paul did a dyno & road tune

It's booked in for Tuesday with Paul @ X-treme. I'm going to try and get a video of it on the dyno so this weekend I'll be washing it and changing the oil.

How much did paul want for the tune? I might hit him up to for a retune myself.

just letting everyone know that the bituman sprint come & try day is tomorrow

scrutineering from 9am, spectators are free

should be a good day

Hey rob, wheres the location on this ? Very keen to invite some mates and have a geez

    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later. 
    • Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.
    • Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)  
    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
