I'd say its all about drive line. When you look at (I know you already would have...) Craigs vid of his stall launch, you can see the punishment that it cops. However-

I think the more and more you guys find out about the VQ25det, the more I see that nissan have choked it from factory- Intake pipe, THAT dump pipe, the throttle, the untuneable computer etc etc.

I think that they would have had a situation on their hands if these stageas started cutting in on their sports market. I mean, it doesn't take much for a Stagea to rip a CPV35 or a Z33. Wouldn't be a good look for Nissan to see the Wagon passing the "sportscar" down the highway!

YES ! I agree & continually thank Nissan for designing an engine that was too good for it's intended purpose and/or market. It means one only need spend a few thousand to remove the breathing restrictions & some electronic ones & it turns into a completely different animal. Maybe the engine guys misread the memo & thought the car was going to weigh 3 tonnes, not 2, & designed it accordingly, lol.

Or, more likely, one of them wanted a Stagea and was making it easy on himself for later. In any case, way to go boys :worship: .

Anyone interested in this again? I would like a re-map as I'm not getting any of the tards in this state to touch my car with an emanage. Do you still have the Japanese translating contact Ryan?

Get on it & report back with your solution.

Good luck.

Sorry Rich, the translating contact was through someone at work who is on maternity leave, so not easy to get them to pick it up.

The guy at G-Zone speaks little to no English. If you're really dead keen, I'd get Jesse Streeter to do the gophering for you and just pay his commission The Japanese lady who was doing the translation for me didn't understand cars, and that made things much harder.

I've gone F-con myself, there are a few other benefits to going with something like that. But is there really NO ONE in Tassie you can trust to tune it?

What Nismo ecu is this? It's difficult down here as no oe that I know of has tuned E Manage and there are only 3 or 4 dyno's I know of.Getting on the boat makes it a very expensive exercise in the end.

My mate has a 2012 wrx sti.

He got a tune for his car online for $100 includes data logging sent back to the guy to adjust it.

Life isnt fair.

Mail order tunes are shit no matter how much data logging you do.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
