Yeah you're right Scotty. Double checked my figures today, and the injectors are maxing out. The FPR will get me out of the shit short term but I'll be getting it tuned shortly. You get the email from the HKS guys about the tune?

No mate, no emails about the HKS...

So Cihan should disclose all his tuning secrets so other tuners can copy his work? It won't happen... Too much time has been invested by him into the VQ25det now to just give the information away, I think my car has over 200 dyno runs on it already...

Not far to drive over Ryan for peace of mind...

Its not, but it becomes a pain in the arse to go back and forth every time I need a tune. Would rather work with someone local who is good and is interested in spending the time. There are a couple who have expressed interest, one with their own dyno.

It's interesting how this happens; your guy (and you) had to go through the learning process, and now there is more demand; the guys who put it in the "too hard basket" suddenly need a hand.

I don't doubt you have plenty of your own cash tied up in the entire process Scotty; no way 200+ dyno runs is a cheap process.

If your guy is good and interested; that is the ideal combination!

Maybe it would be worthwhile him investing his time and effort, so that he can hold himself up as one of only a small number of tuners that can work on the M35.

If you build it; they will come.

Exactly Dale, and that 200 runs isn't including the Emanage learning process before it.

I do honestly hope there are other tuning options and tuners in the future for the VQ25det, and if the guys at Nistune finally get on board we will all benefit. The HKS software is the best option available to us at the moment but there are so many things I would like to adjust that it doesn't have the maps for...

Agreed. Surely if your tuner is interested and is competent he doesn't need his hands held by someone that's done all the work...

Not for free anyway!

My tuner doesn't Jethro, it's the HKS guys who needed more information. The information they needed I don't think we could get from Scotty's tune anyway, as he's running non standard injectors.

Andrew now has these for sale on his web site: http://amperformance.com.au/product/miscellaneous/nissan-m35-stagea-performance-cold-air-intake-pipe

I will hopefully have a group buy price shortly for all those people who've contacted me.

So after installing, good increase in response and power.

Need less throttle to get the car rolling and coasting on legal speeds.

Car seems to have more rasp in exhaust note and engine feels slightly less smooth in the rev range.

Does this sound normal ?

cheers

Wow what a difference the intake makes on stock tune.

I've put the power duct cover back on and blocked half the stock snorkel to reduce airflow until my tune.

Back to normal, engine smooth, better idle and less noisy.

How's that for home tuning !

Block off the f**king intake...

So is it possible this intake could cause the ECU to change timing ?

It feels like a late spark or something.

Still surprised I have rough idle and engine rev.

Blocking off power duct has helped a little but not much.

Just had another thought.

Maybe air is coming in through the join, which is after the AFM.

There's no physical seal on these,just metal to metal.

Gonna try and get a clamp around it.

A clamp probably won't help; but a solid application of tape around the join will tell you if you're on the right track.

Yep these intakes DO leak between the middle join.

When it's fitted the two halves are pulled out a fair bit stretching the spring.

After doing a smoke test, it was visible.

So had it removed and sealed with silicone.

      Maybe but doubt it, when I jacked it up it was creaking in the j arm again. The inners are all good, I inspected them. Remember that also it did fix the problem but temporarily.

      Could be the other bushes. The inners.

      Once you lose the adjustable bushes, you have almost no adjustment at the front for anything that matters. You can only wind so master caster at the front, and ~7° is fine. You won't have choice of front camber. If you only have rear camber arms (ie, do not also have adjustable upper tension arms), you shouldn't change their length very much, because you will introduce bump steer. And, you will struggle to find a workshop that will be capable of doing all the adjustment work necessary to simultaneously achieve a decent rear camber number, get the toe right, and minimise bump steer. I would guess there's probably 8 hours of work there. So, stockish rear camber is fine. Although, keep in mind, that stock camber, by number value, does not mean stock arm length when the car is lowered. You will need to lengthen the RUCA to get back to stockish values and that will require the tension arm to be lengthened a little also. Without any other guidance, any change made to the RUCA should have the 2/3 of the same change made on the tension arm. But that is only a rough rule of thumb and the relationship might not remain linear across a wide range of adjustments. And it might not also be as close to minimum bump steer as you could achieve if you did the bump steer measurement and adjustment properly.

      Well it does have a motor with the same DNA as an Accord V6 motor. The J30A is a successor to the Tiger rice cooker C32A motor found in those cars.

      FD RX7 I would probably marry if legal R32 GTR is toughest NSX looks like it's made from leftover Prelude and Accord bits
