I was told yesterday it was running really rich an can't change that till it's tuned but better than lean ?

But they were talking to a Nissan moron ,now I know how other people have felt when I'm going on at a mile a minute on other topics.

Larger turbo on stock ECU will run rich

To protect the engine.

No chance of getting 280kw with just a computer.

As zebra said, chances are that it's got stock injectors, fuel pump and AFM because its the stock computer.

So max with those parts and a tune is around 210-220 but with a larger turbo its going to be a laggy 210-220 I would guess.

So start planning what you want and we can help try come up with what you will need.

The mechanic I seen yesterday said he'd have it running 280kw in a week, but what we spoke about the haltech platinum piggyback I'd have a safe 220-230 but your right about injectors , regulator and pump.

Are I tank fuel pumps a hassle to install?

I'm about to run an injector cleaner through a full tank but still have to find out about the fuel system

Thx

Have a good look at you injectors and compare with photos on google images.

If your keen, take out the fuel pump and do the same.

If you spend a bit of time reading : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/55845-rb25-turbo-upgrade-all-dyno-results/

You will see what is actually needed to make power, and what does nothing.

What i learned is if you have a bigger turbo and want more power, you need more fuel. The standard fuel system only has enough for a slightly bigger turbo, and small power gain.

And you need a computer to run it of course. A Nistune is suitable for anything thats not making heaps of power. ( for rb 25s i dont know exactly how much )

Almost anything else you do to the motor wont give more power, like wanky bov's etc. But things like an upgraded cooling system can keep it in good nik longer.

Dont forget the cheap effective things like exhaust and intake, though you may have most of that done already.

Personally id make it run nice with the turbo you have, and concentrate on handling.

Theres a lot of bits and pieces to make it handle good. It can eat up a lot of cash.

I couldnt use all my 180kw because my diff was stuffed, no point having power you cant use.

Ps: im jealous of your wastegate actuator, thats nice and simple, reliable and adjustable.

fuel regulator usually isnt needed as upgraded injectors dont need more pressure.

unless your going for huge power

How can the mechanic say 280kw without knowing what its got.

Not being a flamin mongrel.

Trying to help.

Haltech piggyback is the most ridiculous thing ive heard.

This isn't 1999 anymore.

Nistune will do everything you need for half the price and as a bonus will actually work.

Car wouldn't run with bigger injectors.

If they are purple they are stock.

Ok.

So what you want is.

And this depends on budget too.

Nistune or a powerfc.

550cc or larger injectors.

Larger fuel pump. Walbro or something similar

Z32 MAF

Metal intake pipe

Then better than stock clutch (im partial to os giken)

Then tune by someone who knows what they are doing...once again my preference to take it to yavus at unigroup engineering in sydney (I wont ever take my car anywhere in canberra, but im a fussy prick) others are happy with a couple of the locals.

There arent many highflows that will do 280rwkws on 98 so expect 240-250 at the most.

Now you have a quick car that needs to stop and steer better. So factor in good suspension stuff. A good diff Centre and work on the brakes. New rotors and good pads are enough for most.

:yes: exactly

Just found out the guy I brought the skyline off in apr cashed in the rego 2 days after I did the revs check an I've got to re rego it , have to either replace the steering rack or stop the leak.

3 new tyres and kill 6Db, also raise the adjustable coil overs they do hight but can I do it or do I have to get pedders or such too, same principle as a motorbike shock I think but I want the adjustment to be exact.

Also thought about adjusting the boost with the adjustable rod but don't know what distance to boost it will make.

That's where I'm at.

Also looking for a maf befote tune.

Cheers

Oh also found out they wound back the tacho it's got about 300000 not 169000 as it read , is anyone honest anymore

But compression check an engine check is healthy so don't know what to think

I will never do biz in vic again. That's 3 times now I've been screwed down there .

Be careful not only in Vic but every other state. Normalllllly - SAU people are fair honest - as we are a little tight knit community. I purchased Rosie from vic (SAU seller) and it was quite a good deal. Nothing wrong with it and all in good nick - all I could ask for was a little less lazier seller :P

cheers

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
