R34 N/a+t Problem & Need A Recommendation For Tuner In Melbourne


Recommended Posts

Hi all

It's my first time posting in sau as i recently purchased an NA R34 with an aftermarket turbo.

First of all, can anyone recommend a good tuner (preferred specialised in skyline bnr34) in Melbourne? I would be getting the car retuned after fixing a problem that it currenly has.

Secondly, so the problem it has now is that it can rev upto redline on P mode but when driving the rev caps at around 3000-4000. Up to this point i think that either there might be something wrong with the AFM, or i have to install the aftermarket fuel regulator and fuel rail back into the car as i think it could also be the problem from the fuel pump. However i am no specialist in cars so if anyone of u guys can give me anyhelp that would be greatly appreciated.

The previous owner did told me about this rev-capped problem and gave me the aftermarket fuel regulator and rail, however i am not 100% sure if that is the solution to the problem so i am wondering if the problem can be easily fixed by a professional tuner/mechanic incase if it is something non-trivial.

Also, both the fuel injector and fuel pump are aftermarket and not stock, the AFM i believe is a Z32 AFM.

Cheers

Sounds like you bought a problem. Which is why the guy sold it.

Prepare to open your wallet.

hmm prehaps not as bad as u thought,I've had my mechanic looked into it and he thinks there's no big problem but it just take time to find this rev-capped problem,which is likely to be either afm or fuel related.

The car has GReddy emanage ultimate ECU since it's an auto as well as many other mods with over 10k receipts, so I am wondering would a professional tuner be able to diagnose the issue better for me?

Yes a tuner would be your best option

Sorry my bad for creating multiple threads.

Also, apparently Chequered Tuning doesn't tune emanages anymore. Is there any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I would suggest getting an Adaptronic e420D and splicing it into your loom to control injection/ignition and letting the OEM ECU control the automatic box.

That "rev cap" as you call it is actually a TP Load cut.. your ECU is going "wtf.. why is there so much air going into the motor, I'm cutting fuel"

Talk to Trent, tell him the bastardised setup you have and someone from SAU recommended using an Adaptronic e420D to make it boogie.

I tried, unfortunately the guys from Chequered Tuning said Trent wont be able to talk to me over this matter, as apparantly he doesnt get involve with emanage anymore ;/

    • I'm trying to maintain stock appearance . Hicas is still installed (although has lockout kit) did you retain factory fuel pump hat? If so I assume you used a bulkhead fitting or similar ?  I was also trying to avoid a full re design as it was previously dynoed at 426kw atw with same setup but different pump. Changing return line would also mean having to change ethanol sensor and fpr and possibly fuel rail. Not chasing more power in any way just reliability of the setup 
    • I do think it's weird I had it for 2 weeks then the issue came up out of nowhere and progressively got worse. I would've imagined changing everything in the ignition system would've resolved any ignition related misfires but still has the high rpm and idle misfires that seem unchanged. I would've thought if it was fuel related it would happen all the time unless it's the pump losing pressure when it gets hot. If it was the ecu I would think it would do it all of the time.  Something I noticed when I had it all apart was a pretty decent coating of oil in the J pipe coming from the throttle body. The weird thing about that is the pcv that goes to the intake is blocked off. So that has me wondering if the oil is coming from the turbo because that's the only thing that could get oil in there. This thing does sound like it spools like a mofo like I'm a former dsm guy and the only stock turbo I've ever heard spool this loud (to only go up to about 5psi) is on a diesel truck. And the recirculated bov is really loud too I had a TurboXS RFL and this thing is just as loud and being so low on psi seems a little weird. I don't know if any of this is or isn't related but just trying to make sure I'm not leaving any potentially helpful information out. 
    • So latest update. I replaced the ignitor with a jspec unit from enjuku. It felt a lot better at first although it is a little bit cooler of a day than it has been. Warming up didn't have as much misfire sputtering as before. Went on a 10m test drive. Felt good, a lot stronger though I was taking it easy on the boost. On the return trip started getting the cutting out at higher rpm again and was getting worse the longer I was driving. Took it easy the rest of the way home. Before turning the car off was getting the normal idle sputtering I was getting before.  So where I'm at now, entire ignition system has been replaced with upgraded components. Plugs still gapped at .8mm. Removed the fuel cap in case it was building too much reverse pressure I'm the tank, didn't help at all. Now I'm still on the same tank of gas the fuel treatment was in, I'm thinking if I can run that out and then refill with fresh 93 maybe  the treatment is too concentrated in some areas but doesn't explain that it only does it once the car is warm. I'm leaning towards fuel pump or injectors but if the injector was clogging I don't think it would make it shut off like it has but then fire right back up like nothing happened. So my current guess would be the pump. Without a fuel pressure guage no way to test or check it while it's running.  So that's kind of where I'm at. Need to start testing fuel components and ecu/wiring but I'm at a loss of what's the next logical step and procedure for testing it. 
    • @niZmO_Man thanks for that info, lucky I bought the gktech ones 🤙.
    • Never cheap out on brakes, tyres, suspension. I learnt the hard way at Oran Park lol
