The other night I installed a Blitz front mount 'cooler in my mates '98 G-tt. I thought I would take it for a squirt before I started so I had a 'seat of the pants' basis for comparison.The car is pretty fresh off the boat, and it arrived with full exhaust (minus dump pipe) with high flow cat, HKS pod filter, Blitz ID boost controller, Bilstein shocks etc. It came on boost nice and early, (compared to my GTR) and all feels well till about 4000 - 5000 rpm, where the power drops off and the car just feels flat. I thought it would pull hard to redline. Boost held constant, but power was definately down. Anyhoo, I installed the 'cooler, but didn't get to drive the car again as it was late and my mate needed to get home. He thinks the car feels a bit better but not as much as he expected. My question is does the R34 have any common faults with the factory management, i.e running overly rich, retarding ignition timing? I know I have to get it on a dyno to see whats going on, but I havn't had much to do with R34s, and thought someone in the know on here may shed some light for me. I don't know whether the management has been touched at all....

Cheers.

After my cooler was on my car, i noticed the same. The car hauls until it gets to about 5000rpm, drops off then pulls again for the last 1000rpm.

The car enters a really rich state. After having the consult plugged in, u can see the AFR's it switches to as part of its protection. An aftermarket ecu or piggyback is the way to go.

I had a similar problem with my old R33 GTS-t. I would put my foot down and it would pull and then when i change up to the next gear and accelerated it went like a a piece of crap. Anyway it turns out it was my spark plugs, i got new ones and the car wnt like a rocket, so it might be worth while checking that out.

Hmm don't know my R34 pulls very nicely from about 2700, and then pulls even better from 4000 and kinda drops a little about 6500, but is hardly noticable.

Best bet would to get all the AFR and everything checked, it may be retarding the timing or something at the revs, one easy thing to try would be to reset the ECU.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!

      End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall

      A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
