Hey all,

Im getting an Apexi Power FC + hand controller for my R34 GTT in a week or so when it arrives and i had some questions about it before i install it...

Firstly, ill let you know what perofmance mods my car has to help answer my questions:

- Air pod filter

- Stock exhaust system with new cat and res, along with nismo sports muffler

- Greddy electronic boost controller

- HKS 600x300x76mm FMIC

Before i install and tune the PFC, i was thinking of getting a Z32, slightly larger injectors, fuel pump and exhaust...

I want to run 14psi (1 bar) as a daily driver and wasnt sure if the injectors would cope or not, and if a Z32 is REALLY required and would benefit my setup at all... otherwise ill only upgrade the exhaust to an XFORCE 3.5" system only and not worry about Z32, injectors, and fuel pump...

Will the stock turbo be fine running 14psi daily?

Has anyone had any problems AFTER installing a PFC onto an R34 GTT???

Any help is very much appreciated!!!!

Thanks. :)

A friend of mine just had a power fc installed and tuned to his GTT.He has only a zorst and panel filter.Still a very quick car.I would leave the Z32 AFM and injectors and focus on the exhaust.Turbo back exhaust is a must.And its unsafe to run any more boost than stock on a standard system.Get that and a boost controller set to 9-10psi and get it tuned and i can safely say you will have a much quicker car that you have now.

I'd be interested to see your results without putting an exhaust on there but I wouldn't recommend it.

Also I blew my turbo at 12psi or so as have plenty of people I know. My rule of thumb for the R34 is 12 psi on the street and 10psi on the track.

To confirm, zorst, pfc, tune, done.

This wouldn't happen to be the one you bought off slide like I did? :)

Will watch this thread closely as I am in similar situation.

I'm leaning towards HITMAN in penrith to do mine as he is literally down the road from my work

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
