heyya pplz,

i recently brought an R34 GTT skyline, i did the following mods to it

Cooling Pro Front Mount Intercooler

Drift Custom Pod Filter (underneath my front bar)

after i got these mods my car sounded like it was lagging and fluttering. i was told i had to replace my spark plugs, i got ngk 7s put in, and that kinda fixxed my problem, how eva i was told fitting an exhaust would fix my flutter.

im getting a 3'' Trust stainless steel catback exhaust put on tomarro and i have an Apexi AVC-R boost controller getting sent out to me when that comes in going to get it fitted, then driving down to adelaide to get a tune, i was told boost works is a good place to go for my tuning and boosting?

Also what kinda boost is safe for the mods i made/making?

I just don't understand what people can "tune" as such without an SAFC or similar fitted.. really all you can do is replace/fix any components or sensors that are dud and let the factory ECU do the rest. Make sure your FMIC isn't too large for the amount of boost you're running. Otherwise it's like trying to blow up a balloon from the other end of the hallway, there is just too much space for not much air to travel through.

I'd recommend getting your car on a consult, gathering any error codes and maybe log a few sensors (O2 etc..) and then once you're happy with everything running properly, boost it.

    • Hi Apex and welcome! 
    • Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary    
    • If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary
    • Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
