Ben, who is feeding you this rubbish............try running -5's (with or without stock boost) and see how they run without a tune....they def have different trim and comp size hence your AFR's will be all over the shop

You're requirement for a tune is based on AFR"S (in this case) not just boost.........I'm not even referring to boost

Cam gear adjusting will affect your valve timing.............a good tune will give you a nice balance between correct AFR's and ignition timing

well this is what ive gathered from the nistune forums and a few other sources

I'd be the first to admit I dont know what Im talking about, which is why imma spend the next 18 months figuring out what I want to do when the time comes - I want to do the brakes/rims/rubbers/suspension and interior over the next year and a bit - performance is not a concern atm

that said, when it does become a priority, it would be good to know wtf is and wtf isnt.

simply telling me that ive been fed rubbish isnt helpful tho.

That's fine, and that's why I said, based on your sentiments towards your current setup, you'd be happier IMO with a -5 setup which is pretty much the next step up from where you are now.

Spending $$ on -7's will not see much (maybe a smidge) difference to your current setup.................R34 N1's are a different story again though (they sit somewhere in between your current setup and the -5's if my memory serves me correctly)

Hope that helps a little............good night all :D

further truth would be even to say that perhaps the next upgrade just would not be worth it for its purpose.

how often does a daily need 300kw in any case?

-7s are the same as 34 n1s

33 n1s are laggy pos

If you're happy with 300kw then you want -9s as they are basically an updated -7, they make more power but have extremely similar spool times. They are however slightly more expensive. -5s need something to help wake them up. Lots of boost is ideal but obviously not for a standard motor. I use poncams. E85 would help massively too. -5s+E85 would be the perfect street setup on a gtr IMO.

-7s or -9s are the turbos you want.

Just go dash 5s... In my opinion they are the perfect compromise between power and response. My 26 with poncams and 18psi makes a nice 320awkw with nice response and fantastic power delivery. Sure the turbos have a lot more left in them but when i build my motor then ill push for more. Until then Im more than happy with my setup

Congratulations to the f**king retard silver skyline owner who was involved in the hit and run death of a motorcyclist this morning. You have held up 100% of the traffic from anywhere in Adelaide to Wingfield.

Holy shit not good! I still dont understand hit and runs, you messed up, admit to it. They will eventually catch you and when they do you are gone

yeah its pretty bad, i dont understand how its possible to not even realise you hit someone. the news was quick to mention that police are searching for a silver nissan skyline

"silver or maroon nissan skyline" what? they arent similar colours haha

Dohmar, if you're wondering what turbo's to get then you should listen to people with them and they probably would all tell you that any boost level under 18psi is probably not worth your while. its a too laggy setup for between 250-280rwkw. they start coming alive with 18psi. because then when they spool up they go hard!!

i had my 2860's for ages, started on a stock motor and they were crap, laggy as full boost by 5000rpm and only made 210rwkw on 14psi. this was with all stock ecu fuel pump and injectors.

with a rebuild motor the comp was much better cos it wasnt so tired. it managed 250rwkw with still std ecu and 14psi

it wasnt until i got my nistune and injectors and fuel pump that i could push 18psi into it and thats when they came alive. i ran 320rwkw on boostworx dyno.

IMO they're a good turbo for the compromise between a mid 300kw car that you still want to use on the street.

so if you want response and are not looking to be in the 300 club then don't buy them, stick with your N1's or go for -7's or -9's

Okay the ARC intercooler didnt make any difference!

Damn!!

it probably cools better but obviously wasnt the thing causing the flow restriction.

the only things left could be the STD cams or the 3in exhaust.

i'd love the car to have a lumpier idle, but i think with possibly being a home owner in 4 weeks time is going to put a serious halt on getting cams.

looks like i'll have to be satisfied with 365rwkw for a while.

    • Nice write up solder thank you.  that problem had fallen into another days fun. I wanted to get this cold side in and turned over so it was wired up the same to get a start. no luck I got a couple of cough’s before the battery died unfortunately. we have some wether on the way and I’m back to work, I will order your plugs and re wire them in the near future. 🤙
    • It was simpler than that. Few things going on. One is that I hate plastic clutch alignment tools. Anybody who reads this in the future and is considering one, don't. Even for 3 USD it's not worth it. Mine left plastic shreds all over the inside of the clutch hub. Now I need a proper steel one and to re-grease the hub splines very carefully without leaving any excess that could go into the friction disk or anywhere else unintended. The second is that I'm bad at reading directions. There is a step in the instruction manual that tells you to put in the 3 M6 bolts BEFORE you attempt to put the clutch onto the flywheel which has been bolted to the crank. You should tighten them slowly and evenly in half turn increments so the springs all compress evenly. Once hand tight back it off until the friction disk can move around between the midplate and the pressure plate. Otherwise the hub won't be able to move properly to line up everything. The last point which is possibly the most important and is not mentioned in the manual or anywhere at all is that the friction disks are actually not symmetrical. There is a very, very subtle asymmetry to the fingers where they mesh with the hub. These fingers need to be pointing towards the midplate. This helps to make sure the friction disks stay engaged with the hub. Otherwise there is a distinct risk they pop up and out of the hub while you assemble, leading to the warped pressure plate I posted initially.
    • ..m'kay.... I see on my phone you're having difficulties interpreting the artfully hand drawn R31 wiring diagrams... you wouldn't credit it, but they're actually more accurate than those colour diagrams in gregory's and the like... ...for your purposes though, the wiring colour legend is on sheet 1.... ....the fuel pump connector is top right on sheet 2.... ...pin1 (black) goes to chassis ground -- pin5 (light green/red trace)... The best way to navigate those drawings, is to open them up in whatever image manipulation/paint program you like, and use the straight line/ruler  tool (with a highlight colour) to trace along the wire lines...not hard, no rocket science involved... Fun facts: The OEM diagrams are drawn to top trim level spec ~ so for example, you're looking at Silo spec wiring, but the base S3 Executive trim is also covered by the same drawing (base models just don't have all the add-on luxury bits) One of the more sublime bits of errata, is this bit... The wire splice between pins7,14 doesn't exist (red) -- the bridge on the cluster PCB between the same pins (green) does exist...but it's not 'there' physically...it's actually more towards the center of the PCB, exactly at the spot where they tend to crack...and if it does, only half the dash lights work... can drive you nuts chasing it ; don't ; just solder in the missing splice... These are 'intentional' soldered and taped splices inside the loom(s) ~ there's also unintentional splices like this, due to manufacturing process when a spool of one particular coloured wire runs out, and they splice in/on a new spool. Those splices above are in the loom, LHS, underneath the front guard panel (remove to get at loom)... if water's gotten into the looms, you can expect corrosion at these splices ... keep this stuff in mind, if in the future you get any weird electrical faults... 👍  
    • that looks identical to the WGNC34 Stagea one I was poking around the other day. Is the other end of that not the ECU plug? If so checking continuity at both ends will tell you which ECU wire it is.  I can start by telling you ECU pin 31 is the top of the large pins on the right in your second pic
