Righto, instead of cluttering up the old thread, ill make a new one.

Who would be interested in having another dyno day similair to the Skyline Vs Poopra day held nearly 2 years ago? I will chat to Kat seeing Richard kindly dobbed her in and see if she is willing to help organise it as she did a great job of the last one :)

Ill start a rough list of interest. I guess mainly skylines to start with and see how we go from there.

So to start with:

1 K_D

2 Sinista32 (your keen Richard, i know you are)

3 Manuel Kasko

4 Shuyin

5 Not a Pulsar

6 YLD-180 ACT

Maybes:

Anfanee

I'd be keen to lend a hand organising again.

Would also be up for a run on the rollers.

Although suggest scrap the whole skyline vs poopra thing and just open up to anyone who wants to enter. Last time when it came down to it I had a lot more different cars entered other than Skylines.

Dyno day is way different.

You bring what you have and be happy with what you get on your print out.

ESP have no issues with Nistuned vehicles on there Dyno. Every ECU named to man will be there on the day.

They just dont sell or tune them - thats there choice.

If the tuner doesn't like Nistune then they dont tune it and they miss out on our business.

Simple as that and I'm sure ESP is ok with that.

There is many a thread of people ragging on Haltech and how they beleive it is full of bugs and how Vipec or LinkG4 is better.

At one time everyone one was on how great WOLF3D was. Then a few years later how shit it is. WA had a big following and all the other states thought it was just another ECU.

We even got people buying new Power FC's - WTF ? but it does the job.

Autronic's getting a beating for the last few years too.

I ran a Motec in my R32 GTS-t, not many new what they were doing with that locally :(

Seriously - choose your tuner and let them choose your ECU or choose your ECU and find a Tuner happy to tune it.

Spose what I am saying is that if the Tuner doesn't like it, doesnt have the knowledge or software, or jsut beleives it is not good then we deal with it and go somewhere where the tuner does want to tune it.

Yes I agree it is pretty ruff and not good business to tell some one their ECU should be thrown in the bin. Nistunes do an awesome job.

However every tuner has a prefrence to work with and will promote it. It's what they know and trust that matters.

I'm sure you will find all the shops like a few and dont do them all :)

I'll make another video this time as well.

Should have a few more gadgets such as a tripod etc by the time this comes around.

Got footage yesterday grabbing a ray shark by the tail and holding onto it down the coast haha

Went snorkeling and spotted it while playing with the gopro

    • After 23 years of owning a Skyline, finally had the latch go.  Followed this guide,  works like a dream again. Great Guide 👍
    • Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄  
    • From everything I’ve heard you’ll be waiting a long time for  the parts to arrive 
    • Have you looked at the workshop manual?
    • Hmm. I've gotten pretty good outcomes from talking to them about things that I've had go wrong or ideas for improvement. Have had a lot to say about the R32 FUCAs, and they have sent out some replacement parts for those, gratis, on a couple of occasions. Mind you, I have bought a couple hundreds of $ of replacement rod ends for them too!
