Then I have to ask the obvious question... Why are you running one?

I have plans to track mine, and at nearly 3 times the stock power I was a little worried. Now I have the sandwich plate fitted with temp and pressure sensors, I can see stable temps on the road but give it a squirt and they shoot up.

Because our car was not really designed as a ..... Track bitch......more of a family cruiser.....had they done a sports version of the m35 like the 260rs.......well we have all seen the 380rs haven't we!!!

Lol. Well I worked out my two choices, the Stillen and Nismo, would both be about the same, so I went to order the cheaper one (Stillen) only to get reamed on freight. So ordering the Nismo in the morning.

Cheers for the advice Craig! :thumbsup:

got my car tuned and made an appallingly low 306hp on 14psi, thanks hypergear for ripping me off.

306hp @ 14psi?

Is that AWD HP too (include losses)? Through an automatic (more losses)?

I'd say that's F&*ken awesome!

It's like 400HP at the motor!

If the AFR's are sweet and within limits, and the torque curve is flat what are you complaining about?

I'm saying that is maximum boost. The turbo has a spike to 20 then fall back to 14psi.

Any ideas as to why the turbo is dropping boost? I mean apart from the turbo is crap. I had a similar problem, turned out to be the cat was too restrictive and choking the exhaust flow.

306hp is a good result for 14psi though.

I'm happy with the figure, it's back to stock power. But considering I bought a turbo rated to 375hp I'm unhappy with the result. I'm wondering if it's a wastegate issue now.

Stock is more like 200hp/150kw. So you've got a descent increase over that.

If you can get the boost control issue sorted I think you'll be happy. Most larger aftermarket turbos don't come into their own until up around the 20psi area.

Started changing the dump pipe on the M35 this arvo, bloody hard to get into the top studs. 2 bloody studs snapped rant.gif

Rang Nissan and NO studs in the country, ex japan for bout $125 for set of 5 studs with nuts. I was hoping the rb25 studs would be the same but they said they are a different part number.

Does anyone know if a stud is available from anywhere else? Im getting Captain Thread to go to my mates workshop, where the car is stuck on the hoist for the weekend, to remove the busted studs monday arvo.

lilcrash - hypergear turbos are meant for peak power at over 19psi. I suggest fitting a heavy duty actuator that is rated to 'round 17psi (garret, gcg, or talk to stao and haggle for his HD turbo actuator. Slight retune after fitting & the 20psi boost spike will only taper off a couple psi. You'll gain another 50rwhp I believe.

I went from a 1bar HKS on the gt3076 to a 18psi garret actuator and came away with a decent 20kw increase. You want an actuator rated as close as possible to the boost you wish to run.

Heavy duty actuator rated around 17-19psi will unlock the turbos TRUE power potential.

    • Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.
    • On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.
    • The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)  
    • I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.
    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
