RB20 (R32?) Actuator - http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/salisbury-north/engine-engine-parts-transmission/r32-r33-rb20-rb25-parts/1053295328

Not mine, no idea who it is, don't know if it is the right one, 2 minutes searching....

Edit - another one - http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/kidman-park/other-parts-accessories/nissan-parts-r32-s13-s15-skyline-silvia-180sx/1049901329

And a Z32 ECU - http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/para-hills/other-parts-accessories/parts-300zx-z32-tt-manual-2-seater-ecu-black-carpet-interior-/1054098498

SO let me get this straight

this

Z32 (300ZX) or R32 ECU plus a Nistune daughter board - this will allow a tuner to modify the factory tune

R32 Wastegate actuator (10 psi vs 5psi stock)

or an aftermarket ecu like the power fc at this stage seems like my best bet for a bit more usable power.

Also worth noting that a PFC and a commander allows you to monitor and change settings easily. Nistune requires a license and cable as an extra cost. It is another thing to consider before committing one way or the other.

Cheers mate second hand ok for the pfc found one with controller for about 700. Would i still need the r32 actuator as well?

Being able to monitor some settings is pretty handy IMO. There is an extra cost for the cable and license and should be accounted for if choosing Nistune to get this functionality.

I have used both ecu's and both are good so I have no inherent bias for a street car.

You are spot on about people messing things up....but we can only hope we are advising sensible people.

I've got an R32 Rb20det factory wastegate actuator (10psi).

according to the gauge I had it was actually 0.8Bar which is more like 11.75 psi. Depends slightly on your exhaust and FMIC set up, and where you source boost from for the actuator.

anyway it's sitting in a box doing nothing let me know if you want it

You in adelaide mate? would be keen flick us a message.

I had about 7psi before i put the front mount in and now i get 9psi after the install.

is the z32 ecu good value at $200 second hand? Say if i go to jaustech or morpower can they supply the nisstune board to suit or would i have to source that my self. Looking at $900 for a tune so price wise looking pretty good at the moment. I would like to run 10-12psi once tuned fingers crossed.

Also read through the rb25det dyno sticky and there seems to be a huge variance in power with same mods. Would most put it down to a dud motor or just flogged out.

The Z32 seems good value. You can get Nistune to install the daughterboard for you, as previously posted they are in Adelaide. Have a read of http://www.nistune.com/equipment-products-type2.php - $300 installed

If one of those actuators are still for sale I would grab it - as posted (GTSBoy?) they can be hard to locate as everyone with an RB25Det wants one.

There are cheaper tune options in Adelaide. We went to Graham West & it cost $350 - we got 215RWKW with the mods listed in my original post, although we did have a base tune for similar mods already. Very happy with the attention to detail & the results.

How many people does the power fc hand controller actually help?

Everyone i see it just confuses them and the mess stuff up with it!

helped me when I couldn't get 98 and put in 95 RON.. just went into the controller and trimmed of 3 degrees of timing - happy days..

not to mention I ran the Apexi Boost Kit too.. so hand controller was tits.

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
    • Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?
