:)

how come i am only making 190 4wkw with following mods then... :starwars:

kakimoto cat back with hks dumps and front pipe

hks wastegate actuator

blitz air filters

cold air ducting

blitz bovs

fmic

apexi power fc

boost at 1.2 bar

tuned by con at C & V (aren't they supposed to be one of the best tuners around? so i guess shitty tuning isn't the answer... :) )

is my car really that shit ??? :(

I have read this thread with great interest....

Nissaner,

190 4wkw at 1.2 bar seems a bit on the low side, BUT

Some Tuning shops Dynos show higher than true power figures to impress their customers. Maybe taking Ur car elsewhere would give u a Higher reading:D

C+ V 's dyno is probably accurate.

do you have an electronic boost controller?

have you had Ur injectors flowed?

cam timing gears settings ?

These are the only things i can think of

hope it gets the ball rolling.......

i have boost controller option with the apexi power fc...

i haven't had my injectors flowed yet... might look into that at next service

i have stock cams

thanks for the suggestion :P

Hi nissaner, when you say "fmic", what brand? Have you tried the car with the standard GTR one? They flow OK to 300 rwkw, I have seen a lot of aftermarket ones that don't flow as well as a standard one.

Do you have a copy of your dyno run? Does it have the air fuel ratios shown on the graph? If not, get them to print it out (overlaying the horsepower graph) next time you are there. Post it and I'll have quick look for any obvious problems.

What fuel do you run and what was used when it was tuned?

Have you got a Commander for the PFC? What sort of detonation numbers do you get? Should be around 40 to 60 (not enough to set off the warning) which is a good sign that the tuning is close to the limit. If zero, it's tuned too conservatively.

If you want to check if your engine is OK, a leak down test will tell you. Any good performance shop should have a Snap On leak down tester.

Hope that helps.

i don't know what brand my intercooler is , as it just came with the car when i imported it from japan... so i don't have the standard one either... :P

i will try to scan the print out, i think it had four graphs (two in dark blue and two in lighter blue... lighter blue is what my car was running b4 the tuning, and darker is after the tuning)

i do have pfc commander , how do i check the detonation ? will check it tomorrow morning... :D

i used bp ulimate for that tuning session... i usually put mobil synergy8000 coz its just 10seconds drive from my house...

thanks for ur suggestions

Hi nissaner, on the Commander

select "Monitor"

then next button

then 8 channel

then next button

then check and make sure that "knock" has a number next to it. If it doesn't select it with the up and down and left and right buttons.

Then drive the car around and watch the "knock" readings, should be 40 to 6o for a 'tuned' GTR.

If you don't already have one, you should download the Commander Instruction Manual from the US Apexi site, it's in English. The one they have is not a Skyline one, but most of the stuff is the same.

You should really use the same fuel for tuning and normal driving if possible. My choices are BP Ultimate, then Optimax and then Mobil.

Hope that helps

thank u very much for ur kind help... i will check it tomorrow.. (i wanna go out and play with the commander right now, but don't wanna wake my neighbours up at 2am ...:P they r already copping a shit lotta noise from my cars since when i bought my 1st car 33 gtst in 2000)

hey nissaner you ever put your car down the qtr mile? if so what time you get? coz after reading your mods, i started to question my car as well.... all those mods i slapped on my car but i still pull a qtr mile time similar to a stock r32 gtr (a 12.8 - 9 in some mags).

i spent ~ $2000 to go .1 - .2 seconds faster?!?!? well thats what i base it on anyway...

mines a bit less mods than yours... only stuff i did was

power fc

3" trust jasma cat back (std dump/fron pipes still)

ebc set to 1bar

k&n pods

5 puck clutch, stronger press plate

z32 afms

EDIT: cam gears set to top end power (less torque)

210rwkw... on 2 other dynos the power reading was only about 2 - 3rwkw out so its pretty consistant.

i guess we've been spoilt by all the other gtr's doing faster times so naturally we think that we should also get around the same time with the same mods... :P

Yep I don't think 160-180 @ all 4 is stock. My GTR made 160kw@ all 4 with just a cat back exhaust. I don't see how 180 @ all 4's is even close!...... it depends on the dyno as well.

An HPI GTR made around 210 with cam gears, cat back, filters and 1.4 bar of boost so I don't know how some ppl get their figures....

Also dunno about flat 12's on stock turbos. To me it sounds like bullshit.... I am not saying its not possible but I'd like to see some timesheets to prove this. On lightly modified GTR's with stock turbos I've yet to see better than a mid to high 12's. On a very light tuned GTR I was only doing 13's

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
