im going with the vipec because its one they always use .. who said it would always be a streeter ? :thumbsup:

i was !! but after today i spent a few hours looking into ecu's and other items

so now my car will be going down to CONFIDYNE

for a motec or maybe haltec ecu and dyno tune .

as for the mods there still from befor install turbo . timeing belt . nice clean up new fluids .. maybe fuel pump and some little bits nothing to big :cheers:

Hmm I would be keen for a dyno run to get a 'before' statement before I hit engine modifications.

What sort of ride height should I be looking at to actually manage getting on the dyno :whistling:

If you can fit your foot under the car it'll get up there.

I wouldn't bother with a motec, you pay a pretty big premium for no extra features, and the ones with the extra featues are $3000-$5000.

Just wondering if you have contacted Boost in Launceston for a ecu/tune? Just seem a lot of hassle to go all the way to ulverstone.

hey mate. you are oviously new to this but there is more than one place to get a haltech or motec instaled around tas and for quite varying fees.

a bit of experiance has shown me that dealing with one good workshop for all work is by far the best way to get the most out of a car and enjoyment. all tuners will tune any car off the street but they are unlikely to put 100% into the job. if the workshop does all the mechanical work to a car they will then know that the engine is in sound condition, or maybe a bit tire,. also that all parts have been installed correctly thus allowing them to put a bit of back ground knolage into the performance of the car.

if you was planing on getting workshop a to do all the work then decided to get workshop b to finish it all off do you think workshop a is gooing to put its extra bit of effort into the job. if you want what workshop b does then maybe consider getting it all done by them.

in your case workshop a has already lead you down the wrong track so whats to say they are doing anything wright. this is only assumed from the info given by you.

every one on here is right in saying that a nistune will give you by far the best bang for buck at this stage. but non of them have pointed the out possibly the cheapest and best place to get one. you just have to look around a bit.

what ever you do dont get Motec's new budget plug in ecu. it is rubbish and hard to use compared to the likes of vipec and haltech

i would only ever run a Motec if i was running a top top end race car. they just arent user friendly enough for amature racing. haltech, vipec, link most of these will do 100% of what any amature needs.

you seemed to listn to the advice from before so hopefully you will have a bit of a think about your next step to.

im thinking of changeing . as my tuner now cant keep going with my needs so there just installing the turbo kit for me and doing the service .. ulverston is slose for me the hobart one i dont trust the dyno tuner up here ..im calling them monday wen i was talking to them they said the platnum ecu and haltek only come in that from wat if hurd they are working on a 33 and other nissans so a know there got there foot up in there in wat i need unlike mine that are more v8's if they where to tune it for me i would keep going back thats why im not getting my machanic to install the vipic then go somewhere new and ask for a dyno tune i would like one dyno tuner to do the rest of the work for me yer i should have started with them but as u said im new pinch.gif

    • OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat
    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
