No that's the rub I'd have to buy it , there are a lot cheaper ones around so ill have to look into it, but those tune results I posted the other day were my car with a programable ecu an a tune, that's all that's missing from getting into the 280rwkw range, but he said 230-240 would be safe as houses to run with the current running gear already there.

Daryl it really depends on what you want out of it.
Best bang for buck is going to be the nistune.

I honestly think you need to sit down and work out exactly what your plan is.

Otherwise you are going to have all these mismatched parts and no idea of what you actually want.

Set yourself a goal and then research how to get there.

Are you looking to get to that power goal the easy and cheap way or the safer and more expensive way.

I made the mistake of focusing purely on power and neglecting handling, braking and general maintenance.

This left me with a 250kw car that feels like shit to drive these days.

Parts need to talk with each other or else they're just junk in the trunk huehue.

I suggest talking with someone (with knowledge) and aim for a power outlet - If you're wanting 300kW then ask a specialist on what supporting mods you need to get that.

Figure out what you want in the end game and work towards it - it's not a cheap journey.

cheers

Just got hold of the guy that did up the car, he spent 13000$ on it

It has an adjustable arm on the antenuator to a just boost so a just nut back toward cabin lower , towards front end higher boost , he had it tuned with the stock ecu with the tune stats I posted an has a 12.5 quarter mile printout ,

2 cowboys owned it between him to me, in a 5 month space of time , turbo is high flowed an will handle 18psi but he only ever had it at 11.

so if they didn't mess up to much in that 5 month gap , I'm on a good thing

Nitrous?

Blanked off hole in the crossover pipe would be a sign of nitrous use.

That can flog the crap out of a motor, especially if the timing isnt retarded at least 5 degrees.

Might have got number wrong but he knew everything, he sold it for 7.5 then 2 goon had it in a 5 month period before me.

But from what ultimate told me yesterday it's all there to put down real power. ?

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
