(spell check off)..hehe

Ok, I got my 1991 GTR back from the tuning shop and they said that the #1 turbo is bad (HKSGT2530's) the bearing is going out.

He said that the #2 turbo will suck the air but the #1 turbo blows

it out????? Will a bad bearing cause this?? Also under full accelleration the car runs great but under lets say 1/2 load or 1/4 load (load being pedal position from off to the floor) the car runs really bad, sputtering allot, sounding like a choking chicken..lol!

Please HELP!!!!!!!!!

its not fuel delivery (ie: pump) unless the issue occurs under load.

The plugs can cause this issue if too cold a heat range with too small a plug gap.

Try reset on the ecu?

Does the ecu give any faults in diagnostic mode?

Perhaps the camshaft timing if adjustable gears are fitted, recently happened to a mate of mine.

No codes are registering from the ecu. I just replaced the plugs with NISMO platinum plugs, and no difference.

I think that maybe the exahust cam is positioned wrong???

But, tuning the exahust cam would be very hard due to the #1 turbo being bad right??

My freind is looking for a replacement HKS GT2530 for me and if that falls through then I have to take both off and send them down to HKS tokyo and have them rebuilt!!

Do you guys think that because one of the turbos are bad that could be the reason why it can't be tuned properly right now?

(dumb question but i have to ask)....

If you have a bad turbo you usually know about it when the thing is full throttle as opposed to losing midrange and low end power.

Is the problem only when boost is present or does it do it when cruising at higher rpms and light throttle?

If it does this on cruise then its not a turbo.

Turbo bearing failure produces noise, if all other avenues are blank then just pop the turbo's off and have a look. Don't just assume its broken.

The turbo problem was diagnosed at the Nissan dealership! They said the the rear turbo is in excellent shape but the front

one is "sticky".

They said that is why the car runs like crap at normal speeds and low load. Under full throttle or full boost the car runs strong but

not as strong as it should. When I turn it off you can hear the rear turbo spinning but the front is not .

(kinda like a frozen caliper on a disk brake-it works badly while you drive but when you slow down it wants to skid the tire..)

I have a couple of freinds looking for factory used turbos so that I can use those temporarally.

We called HKS Japan and they said that only a handfull of shops

are cretified with them to rebuild their BB turbos. And its going to

cost me around 70,000Yen for both. I guess some really special tools are needed??

Here is an updated picture ................

OH and the oil catch tank is temp. disconnected till we get it tuned

properly...lol

      Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.

      Sweet, yeah hoping stock gears will hold up. May use the transbrake feature on hill climb starts so that will test it.

      Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
