how's the ride ? is it back jarring ?

Not even mate, extremely pleasant. You do feel feel everything, but only very slightly. On a scale of 1-10, 1 being ouch, 10 being butter, I'd say these coilovers are about a 7.

Just bought a HDI r33 FMIC kit, from MTQ in Brisbane for $500. Was a little suss on the monsta kits and wanted to get something half decent.

Will be installing it tommorow with my mate, never done one before. Hopefully with the aid of this thread it won't be too much trouble.

Will also be installing Greddy profec B at the same time, looking forward to the outcome.

Will post pics hopefully tommorow or the next day (depending on how long it takes us ;-)

Cheers,

Dave-

howdy . notice your car has a hose coming out of the intake plumbing (the pipe before the j pipe) does your one go to the power steering pump like mine does? what did you connect it to after you put the fmic piping kit on?

Just wondering if most of you guys just blocked of this hose, like mike40sydney did in the pick below?

Or if you plumbed it back in somewhere else?

Would hunt for you but I made a thread about install profec b spec II's a while ago...

Have a look but if i rember correctly yes you to block of the pipe from actuator, use one line from the cold side of ur cooler piping and then the other from? have a search i would mate but am on mobile broadband and have f all credit left ;)

I'm guess thats the Actuator Hose.. on my setup it goes to my boost controller then another hose goes to my intercooler pipeing...

It's the hose that was on the original intercooler piping, on a nipple from the top piece coming out of the plenum. But my FMIC piping doesn't have that nipple. Should I be thinking about drilling a hole in the piping to attacth it??

Or just block it off?

FMIC install went well, I'm about to start the EBC install now so I will check the other threads on that.

CHeers, guys.

Pics will be up shortly

Ahh yes I see now, cheers. However your intercooler piping has a nipple drilled into it, and the pipe goes to the actuator. Where as the pipe that was atatched to my original cooler piping goes down to the powersteering pump or something down the front?

IMPORTD has a pic up of a feed from somwhere else further up the plenum, without a nipple from the cooler piping. Think I might try that.

Still not sure about this other line though?

;)

Well here's the pics, took the masa front bar off, was too low for the road trip to melbourne. and my gf was not too far off destroying it.

HDI cooler kit

Ts203IVJ.jpg

had to cut about 25mm of the reo, and mounted on an angle it clears the oil cooler by about 4-5mm

Ts206azA.jpg

blocked off the vac hose that was from the nipple to the pwsteering pump, stilll not sure where to plumb it back in?

Ts2084ir.jpg

had to cut the standard front bar on both sides where the pipes entered the cooler, but nowhere else.

Ts208vK0.jpg

made a dodgy cold box out of the stock intercooler shroud, should work alright tho. (sorry to anyone that might have wanted it)

Ts20aQUr.jpg

Job done! Haven't yet decided wether I should cut the number plate section out to get more airflow or not?

Has anyone had any luck fitting a front mount to a S2 Stagea with a Dayz front bar, without cutting the reo bar??

Any help would be appreciated,

Model, Size, etc, would be great.

Thankyou in advance

I really dont think ur gonna be able to one without even trimming....

I picked up an intercooler off a member from here in SA. I'm going to be buying a justjap piping kit and i was wondering if anyone knows what one it is that i use for a series 2 stag. Is it the 33 or the 34 kit.

Cheers

What sort of core did you get? Also I dont think their is much difference if any with the 33 and 34 piping kit is there?

Speak to the guys there they're pretty good with Stagea's these days, when i bought my cooler kit

we ended up going with R32 GTR piping and it fitted up great, alot better than my mate who bought

the same kit for his 34 with 34 piping...

    • First up, I wouldn't use PID straight up for boost control. There's also other control techniques that can be implemented. And as I said, and you keep missing the point. It's not the ONE thing, it's the wrapping it up together with everything else in the one system that starts to unravel the problem. It's why there are people who can work in a certain field as a generalist, IE a IT person, and then there are specialists. IE, an SQL database specialist. Sure the IT person can build and run a database, and it'll work, however theyll likely never be as good as a specialist.   So, as said, it's not as simple as you're thinking. And yes, there's a limit to the number of everything's in MCUs, and they run out far to freaking fast when you're designing a complex system, which means you have to make compromises. Add to that, you'll have a limited team working on it, so fixing / tweaking some features means some features are a higher priority than others. Add to that, someone might fix a problem around a certain unrelated feature, and that change due to other complexities in the system design, can now cause a new, unforseen bug in something else.   The whole thing is, as said, sometimes split systems can work as good, and if not better. Plus when there's no need to spend $4k on an all in one solution, to meet the needs of a $200 system, maybe don't just spout off things others have said / you've read. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet, including in translated service manuals, and data sheets. Going and doing, so that you know, is better than stating something you read. Stating something that has been read, is about as useful as an engineering graduate, as all they know is what they've read. And trust me, nearly every engineering graduate is useless in the real world. And add to that, if you don't know this stuff, and just have an opinion, maybe accept what people with experience are telling you as information, and don't keep reciting the exact same thing over and over in response.
    • How complicated is PID boost control? To me it really doesn't seem that difficult. I'm not disputing the core assertion (specialization can be better than general purpose solutions), I'm just saying we're 30+ years removed from the days when transistor budgets were in the thousands and we had to hem and haw about whether there's enough ECC DRAM or enough clock cycles or the interrupt handler can respond fast enough to handle another task. I really struggle to see how a Greddy Profec or an HKS EVC7 or whatever else is somehow a far superior solution to what you get in a Haltech Nexus/Elite ECU. I don't see OEMs spending time on dedicated boost control modules in any car I've ever touched. Is there value to separating out a motor controller or engine controller vs an infotainment module? Of course, those are two completely different tasks with highly divergent requirements. The reason why I cite data sheets, service manuals, etc is because as you have clearly suggested I don't know what I'm doing, can't learn how to do anything correctly, and have never actually done anything myself. So when I do offer advice to people I like to use sources that are not just based off of taking my word for it and can be independently verified by others so it's not just my misinterpretation of a primary source.
    • That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways.
