    the mechanic that i have tuning it mentioned that they may have been part of my previous issues when i had it with him last, can you give me a legit reason why not to run the new blow offs besides the nissan ones are fine, i wouldn't mind a different sound as well. and the plan with the tune once all this was installed is to try crack 400hp and go till afms or fuel pump maxs and then back it off a bit, if i went 550cc then they might have maxed first

    well considering i was having issues with the stock 25 year old injectors and one was pissing fuel over the engine i thought i would be wise to upgrade and why not go for 1000cc instead of the 550cc ones when the price difference is not much more and they will be one of the things that max out later if i go for bigger figures? plus all the other fuel bits came as a package that was not much more then buying the injectors alone. whats wrong with the blow offs? the stock ones are 25 years old and might have been failing so i dont see how these could be worse?

    iphone quality for life haha, ive had a couple of issues lately, firstly the original place i was going to get dynod messaged me on the day of just before i was about to drive 2 hours to their shop to let me know they they didnt have a dyno but for some reason forgot to mention that when i booked in a week before specifically saying i need a dyno, ditched them found a place a little closer to me for the following week but half way their blew a turbo (big bang and a huge cloud of black smoke out the exhaust, now car wont boost and theirs a rattle from inside the cat) getting the exhaust removed on Thursday to check it is the turbos and if i need anymore parts before i start ordering some goodies. i only just fund out that i shouldn't run more then 1 bar boost on the stock turbos and its been on 1.2 bar the whole time ive owned it plus the dodgy injectors had it surging and peaking to over 25 psi at times so that would have contributed to their wear i guess. so far the plan is to upgrade to - Garrett GT2860R-7's (HKS GT-SS) or maybe -5's - 550cc injectors - 2 x Greedy type FV blow offs to replace the old stock ones - might end up replacing the stock radiator and get a bigger front mount to as their on my list to do if anyone has some insight on what parts would be a good option please feel free to suggest

    found a leaky injector and vacuum leak this morning fixed them both and now the car is running mint, much more responsive and everything is functioning as it should. i have the solenoid duty on the EBC turned up to 40 currently and its holding boost fine, stock blow offs sound pretty shit so wouldn't mind changing them in future. also have a dyno session booked in for Thursday so that will give me some power figures and get the tune right hopefully

    what would be the best way to set it up / control it or does it vary depending on the cars set up? so far 0 has been the cleanest throughout the rev range, assuming thats because its controlled by the waste gate only but it feels like the cars lacking power when on 40 % their is definitely a power increase but sounds like surging when i release the throttle and dont change gears otherwise when changing gears it will blow off fine and their is the occasional boost spikes and sometimes cuts off ect so im pretty hesitant to go any higher then 40% at the moment as i dont really know what im doing, hoping to get it dynod later this week by someone whos had some experience with GTRs and EBCs

    mines a BLITZ SBC-R DUAL Solenoid EBC - the car hadn't been modded since 2007 until i got it so these ebc's might be a little outdated and the percentage being the solenoid duty makes much more sense haha although im still not too sure how id want to set mine up, so if i had the solenoid duty percentage turned up to 100 does that mean that the full boost would be controlled by the ebc VS say 50 or 0 percent where it would he half half or 0 being full stock control?
  9. IMPORTS ONLY
    anyone on here handy with duel solenoid ebc's? this is my first time dealing with one so im not 100% sure on everything and want to avoid damaging engine internals in the learning process. basically ive been running the ebc on off (which goes back to stock settings) while ive been running the crap fuel out, now that the fuel is good ive been turning it up slowly to see how the car reacts. i have the warning set to 1.2 bar but it still peaks at 1.4 usually and today peaked at 1.87 bar which is 27.5 psi, i have the 4 settings set to 10, 20, 25 and 30 currently. (from what i read these are a percentage of the turbos capability so im still fairly low in their potential right?) when the ebc is off boost holds fine but once turned up i get slight cut offs while achieving boost occasionally and it doesnt hold as clean as it does when its off and peaks over 1.2 bar which causes the boost to cut slightly also on occasion. with these settings shouldn't the boost reach 1.2 bar cleanly then just stay there until i change gears or release the accelerator regardless off the power percentage setting then with the power percentage turned up shouldn't it just reach boost quicker and still hold the 1.2 bar its set at instead of peaking at over 1.4 bar and cutting sometimes any help would be much appreciated as im still a turbo rookie

    turns out it was just off fuel since the car had been sitting for so long, now that theirs some legit 98 in the tanks everything working well and its holding boost pressure fine
  12. IMPORTS ONLY
    yup thats what ive been told by a mate too, were thinking boost leak or possible cracked hose now.

    heres another vid http://youtu.be/6-HEo4Mc6TI can hear the problem a bit better im going to book it into my mechanic and see what he thinks going on but that will take a week or so
  14. IMPORTS ONLY
    nah but close
  15. IMPORTS ONLY
    pretty hard to hear but might help

    the car has been sitting for 5 years and if their the original blow offs their 150,000 k's old maybe the springs have weakened or something. what else would cause me to be fluttering off and losing boost pressure at over 0.8 bar
  17. IMPORTS ONLY
    can you think of any reason why mine would be releasing before 11 psi, are their valves adjustable?
  18. IMPORTS ONLY
    Its a type R and a update on the issues above, i still think the uneven idle is from the TPS and maybe even the MAF as well as possibly the wrong spark plugs as for the boost leak flutter thing i now think thats because the car is still running stock blow offs which are only good for 10-11 PSI, as soon as i hit around 0.6 bar (8.8 PSI) + it sounds like their releasing all the pressure and it gets worse the higher the boost gets, obviously because of the pressure. (even when i turn the dual SBC down to 0 (stock boost) it still happens im assuming new blow offs will fix this, anyone have any recommendations on what type or brand to go for and why?
  19. IMPORTS ONLY
    thanks, it might have had a respray, not sure. didn't get too much of the cars history and i should have the TPS here by late next week and well see if it changes anything some pics from today,

    Rego is sorted, QLD is so much easier!!! didnt even have to have a qld license haha. now that ive had a chance to give it a good drive some issues have become apparent, first the cars hunting on idle so there is most likely a vacuum leak somewhere and the car wont stay on boost it keeps fluttering off and is very uneven so im guessing a boost leak somewhere also and finally there is a put put sound on idle once warm, ill attach a link to a vid below. https://youtu.be/o_a1fwDBBuw i have had this last issue on my old r34 and spent a fair bit chasing the problem on coilpacks new leads and spark plugs ect and it turned out to be the TPS, that being the cheapest fix im just going to buy a new one and chuck it in and see what happens

    So i have recently purchased my first GTR and still being pretty new to the turbo world i though it would be helpful to post a thread to keep track and get info for my build. I have had numerous N/A imports while on my p plates as well as a CA turbo 180 and a 32 GTST, and currently am lucky enough to have a 425HP Chrysler 300c SRT8 as my daily, But still haven't had anything like this BNR32, not to mention the fact that its a Tommy Kaira Edition and the work that was carried out by the previous owner. As it sits currently ENGINE & DRIVETRAIN - RB26DETT fully rebuilt at 150,000 K’s - CP forged oversized pistons - Engine has been bored out to 2.7L - HKS Intake & Exhaust cam gears, Tuned for street - Stock Turbos - Yellow Jacket coilpacks - SARD fuel regulator - NGK iridium spark plugs - Injector been service & replaced with new filters and O-rings - ARC intercooler - ARC Air box with a K&N filter - CUSCO Master brake cylinder Brace - NIZMO Front and rear strut Braces - TOMMY KAIRA billet engine oil cap - Custom dump pipes - 5" Round body high flow catch CAT (highest flowing on the market with 200 cis metal insides & 706.2 CFM) Thick walled 3" Stainless cat back - Custom aluminium catch can with bullet cap FUEL & CONTROL - APEXI powerFC tuned for street use - APEXI PFC hand held Controller - BLITZ SBC-R DUAL Solenoid EBC - GREDDY Fully Auto Turbo timer - WALBRO 400 L/PH in tank fuel pump SUSPENSION & BRAKES - OHILONS Springs - GTR stock brakes - Slotted Rotors - Bendix Ultimate pads. BODY -TOMMY KAIRA Front Bar with engraved Metal plaque -TOMMY KAIRA Adjustable Rear wing with engrave metal plaque -TOMMY KAIRA Front grill with -TOMMY KAIRA badges -TOMMY KAIRA Front bonnet lip -TOMMY KAIRA side skirt -TOMMY KAIRA Rear pods -TOMMY KAIRA Rear Badge -TOMMY KAIRA Decals on both side of car - BBS RS II Wheels 17x9+20 all round running 235/45 tires - Original paint, in very good condition INTERIOR - TOMMY KAIRA 300km/h complete dash - TOMMY KAIRA centre triple gauge cluster - TOMMY KAIRA Gear knob - TOMMY KAIRA footrest - TOMMY KAIRA key - GTR seats - 3 point Immobilizer with remote central locking and tilt alarm - Full sound system with pop out DVD screen, has aux, Bluetooth ect. The previous owner spent thousands on the rebuild and mods to only drive the car 3,500 k's over 2 years then it sat in his garage for 5 years until i came along im in the process of registering it now but because it hasn't been regod in NSW since 2007 im having issues with getting the blue slip because it doent have the compliance plate (which i think they started making after this car was imported) but it does have a QLD mod plate from the last owner who was in QLD. i live on the boarder of NSW QLD so ive decided ill go QLD rego for the moment until i finish most of the mods that will need engineering then go get the NSW engineers certificate and swap to NSW rego. going QLD will just be cheaper and easier for the moment as well as having the benefit of NSW cops not wanting to touch a QLD plated car while its in NSW. ive got the QLD RWC booked in for Thursday, if it passes it will be on the road that day ill keep updating with my progress and if anyone has any information on Tommy Kaira 32's hit me up
