I suggest getting your car on a trailer and taking to brissy. Mark at Godzilla Motorsport is the best of the best when it comes to GTR's and tuning cannot go wrong, well worth the investment. If not my local man Dave at CPV Tuning is the next best choice he sponsors and supports our R32 GTR drag car and helps us with the tuning and Data logging working to together with Mark. I highly recommend a VIPEC ECU either V44 or V88 Plug in play units, your wasting your time with anything else. Depending on your budget/ supporting mods/ future plans etc. They can accommodate any function you can think of and have plenty of cool features. I am currently running over 1000 all wheel HP in our GTR running a VIPEC V88 system tuned by Mark and Dave.

I have currently installed a V88 in my mates Supra and Kingy's R34 GTR is currently getting the Vipec V44 Plug in upgrade in a few weeks. Both cars will be weapons once they are complete.

Let me know if you any more advice always keen to help out a fellow GTR owner.

To Supercharge or not to Supercharge the FJ that is the big question, I wanna blow some dunny doors away at Palmyra in the Big Rig

I would, those particular Toyota engines are almost bullet proof!

Yeah it's white guys here is a pic ... It's pretty stock atmo but have plans for it in near future. I'm reasonably familiar with the rb motors having owned a 32 gtr built a few vl turbos the latest being a 26/30 which is currently making 930rwhp and is for sale too btw lol but am very impressed with the 34 so far being stock and all. I'm not familiar with these vipec computers as I used to run autronic sm2 and sm4. Have been talking to mercury Motorsport about a haltech but still deciding which way to go ! post-23504-13654538831203_thumb.jpg

Usually $1950 - $2k for the ECU. The new Vipec Plugin for the GTS-GTR also has an extra knock board (From a higher model) now so that it can manage your knock sensors.

Out of all the ECU's I have tested the vipec is by far the best. Ask Benny, he'll agree. I am sure he sleeps with one under his pillow. lol.

shit you're brave! my mate has a black r34 n/a he was following you the other day, quote "damn this thing is just teasing me having to drive behind it all the way home" haha.. looks mint.

You wouldn't happen to have a silver hummer would you? had someone stalking our meet couple weeks ago in a hummer was very suss lol

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
