You have no idea what you are talking about.

Comparing a stock exhaust to a stock cooler in the same sentence shows how little of an idea you have.

It wasn't a comparison, it sounded more like another example of. He is saying the stock intercooler isn't designed with the volume flow and capacity of a built up and modded engine. The same can be said about the exhaust, the output of the engine is greater and the original exhaust is not designed with enough flow and volume to let the gasses escape. Again, the injectors could be another example, 370cc injectors will flow just that, but when you need more fuel they run out of capacity. An example is not a comparison. He could have said something out of context like, if you were running a marathon it would be ridiculous to take a smaller popper of juice rather than a larger bottle which could hold more for the race. Sure the popper is good for small sprints but over a long distance run, you need more juice.

GTR fuel pump is good for about 350 - 400rwkw I was told by my tuner. Ive got a 040 brand new incase my GTR pump fails. The 040 will support around the same power and be in a healthier state.

Sorry, but it does. Been proven countless times now on every circuit GTRs (360-380rwkw) down here running a factory core - it's not even worth going into really.

Oh btw and you can make 370cc injectors flow more than 370cc, its called upping the rail pressure. Very simple concept

Small exhaust and small IC does not lose efficiency and volume? I am confused...

Silly me, crd want to change mark's IC just for the hell of it lol - jim really has no idea haha, what a joke huh!

Why would you run a stock IC when making 350awkw+ which is a walk in the park with his setup? My 1st gtr had a 70mm making 365awkw and at the time I was advised to upgrade to keep temp down. I don't make things up nor am I computer warrior, I always talk of personal experience.

You need to remember, Jim (crd) is also a business man. the more he sells youand the more time he spends on your car, the more money he makes

Yeah so is Racepace and you end up paying big $$$ for standard parts... :whistling:

I thought this was about cams anyway?

OK to set the record straight the potential issue is not flow but maintaining power levels after extended use.

As for suggestions of overservicing, which I detest, there's no evidence of that in this case that I can confirm. Jim is not pushing this. Re the fuel pump, for what CRD would make out of it I doubt their next million is going to come from making $100 here and there on fitting pumps. The figures may well indicate that there was an issue. But seriously they've done everything I've asked and no more.

Always thought conventional wisdom was that a 32 cooler was good for 350 rwkw, the 33 and 34 a bit more. But then Ash has seen a lot more tracked GTRs than me so the wisdom I'm referring to may well be a crock.

Marko I'll be in touch re the cooler pending the feedback I get this week.

Cheers

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
