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

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
