Update: 10/05/2015 - Link G4+ Update & Dyno Graphs

Have clocked up 250kms over the weekend & to say I am happy is an understatement

Despite the stock turbo, the power delivery is brutal. So much faster than before. With the addition of the sports cat, there is alot more grunt, especially on boost. Sounds amazing though!!! Some lovely pops & burbles on 2nd/3rd/4th overrun

Managed to take a few pics, will get better pics at a later time

Link G4+ ECU PnP being installed by TDP.ie

Next step is to simply to enjoy it & get Ian from Elite Auto Clean to give it a once over during the next few weeks

As always, stay tuned....

Update: 08/05/2015 - Got the car back!

Got the car back earlier this evening from TDP.ie

Wow is all I can say

Super neat job on the oil cooler, can't even see it, sports cat is in, squeaky belts fixed, brakes bled giving a marginally better pedal feel

But the big one is the installation of the Link G4+ ECU w/map sensor, boost control & CAS trigger wheel

The car is alot smoother to drive and has a good bit more torque than before

Bearing in mind my previous figure of 353bhp was at its peak 18months ago then the sensors started to fail. Last time it was dyno'd was at 342bhp back in December

New performance figures: 
309.3BHP at the Wheels @ 6700RPM
355.7BHP at the Fly @ 6700RPM
353.9lbft of Torque @ 4847RPM
Peak of 0.9Bar of Boost @ 5095RPM

Regardless of the figures now, it is seriously smoother to drive & with more torque and power for more of the rev range, it is a handful in the wet at least

TDP did mention that the turbo is tired so didn't push the boost past 0.9bar to be safe

Back with a skyline smile once again

Will try & get some vids/pics/graphs up over the next few days when I can

Stay tuned!

Update: 10/10/2013 - Nismo Fuel Pump Install

Well the Nismo Fuel Pump arrived but only after Irish customs hit me with €70 tax on the part!! A$$holes!

I wasted no time in fitting it. I had already removed the HKS fuel pump so it was an "easy" matter of fitting the nismo one. Step by step pics below

Notes:
Disconnect the battery first!

HKS vs Nismo Fuel Pump = Identical.....

Deep dark smelly hole of fuel!

Can just see the fuel pump holder here

The fuel pump goes in there, next to the battery in the boot

New Nismo non-return valve to keep pressure in the lines for longer

Once all hooked up to the top of the fuel pump parts, it wont move, it should be placed 260mm from pump, 55mm from top. cut the fuel line accordingly

Fuel pump going in, tricky - it is all touch/feel, you cant see anything!

You need to put the pump right at the back and hang it off the plastic hanger

Make sure you get the seal down nice & even all the way around, this can be tricky

Put on the lock ring and tighten it all up & connect up the lines/plugs

Fuel pump lid on

Check your pressure if you have a fuel pressure gauge. Mine is at 2 bar only because batt died as I took this picture. once batt charged, it should be reading around the 3bar mark

First start of RB25DET after fitting Nismo Fuel Pump

Nismo RB25DET Fuel Pump: Fuel Pressure Check

Needless to say I am quite happy with myself getting it working, took a while but got there in the end!

Stay tuned!

Nismo S-Tune Refurb

Managed to get my hands on a very rare set of a R33 GTST Nismo S-Tune Suspension setup back in October 2013

They were mechanically fine but looked a bit worse for wear

So we cleaned them up and gave them a lick of paint and they look brand new

After having them fitted for a while now & covering over 6,100km, they are a great upgrade over the already great combo of KYB shocks & Tein S-Tech lowering springs

Update: 21/04/2015

Dropped the car down to TDP yesterday for the following work:

• Fit sports cat(100cel)
• Oil cooler kit install w/AN10 lines
• Oil change with new greddy filter & Millers NanoDrive 10w50 oil
• Fit & map the Link G4+ PNP etc
• Bleed the brakes correctly
• Sort out the squeaky belts on cold start
• General check over & track seal of approval

Update: 10/04/2015

Once all goes smoothly with Link etc, I hope to make it out on track in May & give the Nismo S-Tune suspension a good going over

As always, stay tuned.....

New Power Figure after Link G4+ Install???

Going for a Link G4+ PNP ECU in April

Curious to see what the new power figure will be, what do you reckon?

Current Performance Details
307.2BHP at the Wheels @ 5976RPM
353.3BHP at the Fly @ 5983RPM
342.3lbft of Torque @ 4426RPM
Peak of 0.88Bar of Boost @ 4855RPM

Nothing will change apart from Link ECU kit & sports cat installation & HKS FCON iS Piggyback w/loom, map & air sensor will be removed

Still on stock turbo/injectors

Place your bets now.......
