Message zoom on this forum, he's all over the WMI shit.

It explained to me what you do is get the afrs down to say 10.5 and inject, change nozzles blah blah with wmi till you lean it back up by 1 afr point, ie back to where you were before. Then advance the timing as you would with E85.

My lazy E85 blanket is 5 degrees at peak torque and about 7 up top. Then use a dyno to determine where on the curve you can improve.

He reckons WMI is on par with E85, however with wmi you lose off boost torque because you're not injecting it on vac (well you could).

Was explained to me in a similar way, change nozzles until your standard no wmi base afr is only richened by around 0.8afr with wmi and either tune it out if you have fail safe or leave it if not.

Not having much power under vac isn't a problem for us auto guys, always on boost when you're above 10% throttle.

The kits aren't cheap. If I can't get an extra 20-30kw under 4K I don't think it's worth it for me. But peak power, $500 for an extra 40-50kw is money well spent.

My tuner said he doesn't want to run more then 20 to be safe.

Maybe I could go e85 have a eflex sensor and do the 30 bottom end conversion.. If I go 30 bottom end would I need a bigger turbo it has a .67 rear it's the atr45 from hypergear 600hp rated ?

you would just get a a .82 housing of him, no need to get another turbo.

Bigger cams will only move the power to the right on the graph. Yes there may be a tad more of it but you will loose a whole lot down low. Same goes for putting a different plenum on. So its a trade off. May be worth it, may not, depends on exactly what you want to do with the car.

Also note that if you upgrade to the wrong cams (generally anything massive) you will need to delete the VCT solenoid on the intake, which will also hurt low down torque and power. I think the HKS 256mm drop in does let you retain vct? (someone would have to confirm that) so that, or one tha tdoes, pretty much the only one you should realistically go with

Tomei make drop in where you can still use your VCT, or last time I looked they did.

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
