Flames popping out the exhaust is most likely due to an external wastegate that is dumped back into the exhaust system. You will need to remove the cat for this though.

Another option is to run rotational idle, this will give you a small fire popping out of the exhaust, you are unlikely to get any huge flames from the back unless you do something stupid, which I don't recommend.

Paul, give me your advice. I need a turbo, new manifold or keep it standard. Would like an external wastegate but the money to make a manifold is quite heavy. Unless you know someone??

Or could get some sort of drawing plan for some, cause i could quite easily do all the fabricating but I need a plan.

Hicks,

the best turbos are all external wastegate design, but these are for high horsepower. If you just want good power then you can go for a GT2835 (internal wastegate) , which will give you lots of power without the lag. I would still recommend a custom exhaust manifold, the original is very poorly designed.

If you a good with mild steel welding then I could get you a jig, which is a template to build manifolds, this would make it easy for you to build your own.

See'ya:burnout:

Removing cat is highly illegal and will lead to $10,000 (or there abouts, could have been $5,000, can't remember) fines if caught... Flamage is from anti-lag, not rotational idle as discussed in rotational idle thread...

In the old days an extra injector used to be fitted to the exhaust manifold and fired when anti-lag was needed... Now-a-days the ECU controls it all...

The computer measures the airflow at the beginning of the intake tract (assuming you're using a MAF system) and injects fuel accordingly. So when you shift and let off the gas, your turbo is still spinning and the excess air is vented through the blow-off valve. However the computer doesn't know that that air isn't going into the combustion chamber, so while the blow-off valve is going the mixture in the combustion chamber is very rich, thus letting a lot of unburned fuel into the exhaust, where it gets ignited by the hot turbine wheel. Hence flames on shifting.

I could weld it up piece of piss, A monkey can weld mild steel.

Where would you get a jig from? Would they let you have one?

Step one: change fuel map to +30% rich

step Two: lower rev limit to 4000

step three: flat change at 3900rpm

result: fireball + mushroom cloud

scares the shyt out of tailgaters & pedestrians:D

is that through a safc, or what

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • 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.
