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

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
