Fair enough

PM me if you want, keen to know. Not saying they are dodgy, just would be nice to know in case I ever want to take my car there

Shaun knows his Microtech's, I'm sure he will get it how you want it. Freebaggin has had his Microtech for about 3-4 years now, had great success with it, with stock turbo/injector setup to now with big injectors/turbo etc. 300+rwkw out of a stock RB25, Shaun must be doing something right!

Might pay to go and have a chat with him and get his opinion, he has all the laptop stuff there for Microtech. Even pay for a quick dyno/afr run and see where your car is at, might be ok

HRthirtyone,

Head down to Boostworx, tell him its running lean blah blah, chances are he will charge you stuff all... If it takes 1hr then he will charge you 1hr dyno time. So it might end up costing $100 or so.

Dont be upset if the boostworx dyno reads a tad lower, it has a tendency to do so.:P

BUT for a simple power run you can't go past blackwood auto and dyno.. $35 is stuff all.

Edited by Cubes

yea i rekon im easy to convince... ill drive past one day after work & have a chat.

I may have over reacted a tad because it would cost over 2grand just to change the setup to power Fc, and i dont exactly drive it every day anyway...

Chris32-it says in ur sig that u were @ boostworx dyno day, i was on my way down there to check it out about a month ago, when i broke my bloody clutch bracket in 5 lanes of traffic!!!!! had 3 nosey/helpful cops pull over, and about 5 pass me in the 45min i was waiting for a tow...... i was sweatin up about getting defectd but it didnt happen! you wouldnt read about it!! but yer 191.4kw there is like 215kw @ tilbrooks

Yeah, it mine makes ok power for the turbo it has. I'd like to run at tilbrooks just to see what it is on there. I'd always like more, but meh, got other things to spend my money on ATM!

If you can, drop by and see Shaun, he's a top bloke and a decent tuner too. One thing that is for sure, the ECU is only as good as the tuner, and Shaun is good. Since its not a daily driver I'd keep the Microtech, and get the tune sorted. You already have a decent ECU, why bother swapping!

If it is running that lean, I'd take it pretty easy, you can't tell if its knocking with the Microtech, so its up to your ears to hear it

Whatisname also runs a Microtech tuned by Shaun, makes around 300rwkw also

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
