Turned out to be not neccesary at all. Actually there's a lot of stuff going on around here that's not neccesary IMO... But sometimes just spending the money is half the fun & it keeps the economy ticking over, so it's not all bad.

Because of the wire snip mod?

How about to sort out the A/F?

Leon has his own little DIY interceptors and mods which allow him to do that tuning. He's tried explaining them but I can't really get my head around it without seeing it.

Wire snip gets rid of throttle restriction, but nothing gets rid of the speed restriction short of Nismo, Impul or G-Zone remapped ECUs, and in theory F-con or Haltech PS2000. Still, 180km/h should be plenty fast enough for most people...

.... 180km/h should be plenty fast enough for most people...

Sorry, I should have clarified. If you want to go to the track or live where you won't get locked up for driving faster than 170km/h, then you will need something else.

*cough* :) *cough* :ph34r:

Anyone feel free to complete this sentence:

The best solution for someone that is happy doing under 171kmh, with a front mount, dump and exhaust is.....

:laugh:

G-zone or leons things.

Depending if you want more power...

Well I did the brake wire mod to a mates M35 toady and we couldn't pick the difference from before and after. We ended up rejoining it.

Seriously couldn't pick the difference???

Did you try the "launch" test? That's really the only way to tell. On my car it was really obvious if the brake wire was disconnected or not. Do a test with, then straight away a test without & let us know.

I stalled it up and launched it a few times and couldnt notice any difference, neither could my mate. We both noticed a heap more when I fitted a plenum spacer to mine.

I might try it on mine one day and double check but after the feel of his I'm in no hurry.

With the stock turbo it wouldn't be that noticable, remember they come on at 2k. With a highflow it makes a huge difference.

The best thing about the wire snip is coming out of corners on full throttle. Drive it around for a few days, not just a poofy launch or two. :P

I'm running the stock turbo & it's still very noticeable on my car. And as Scotty said, not just a "poofy" launch, but driving out of corners as well (roundabouts can get particularly fun now).

However, the launch is an easy way to do a back-to-back comparison.

For example, with my brake wire connected, when I hold the brake on and floor the accelerator, the engine revs to stall (can't remember exact rpm) and just sits there waiting for me to release the brake.

With the brake wire cut doing the same thing, after a few seconds the back wheels (well probably just one, lol) starts spinning and the take off is much more violent with tyres scrabbling for traction. Very easy to spot the difference.

Its simple, cut the wire, extend it to the dash somewhere and fit a switch you can hit while braking. That will reset the CEL and eventual limp mode. Another way would be to run a little relay off the foot handbrake.

Yeah off of the footbrake is more what I was thinking about. Basically the wire needs to be "uncut" and the brake pedal pressed to reset the CEL/limp mode?

    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
