hi guys,

im looking at getting a PFC for my GTR shortly and get it tuned with adjustable cams thats already installed (currently set a 0).. car is pretty much stock and running 13psi boost.. should i expect an increase in performance.. from mem i think its -2 inlet +4 exhaust or vice versa for GTR's? also getting hi-flow cat put in as well so hoping for better performance..

wot if only tuned the car with my chipped hks ecu.. how much roughly for a tune like this (in syd).. also workshop recommendation would be great as im new to the area..

Alot of questions.

1. If you aren't expecting a performance improvement why are you putting in adjustable cam gears? :) You will pick up some gains. The cams need to be moved closer together - so advance the inlet & retard the exhaust, not the other way around.

2. High flow cat probably wont make bugger all difference over a stock cat.

3. Just get it tuned with the PFC & don;t worry about messing with the HKS stuff.

4. NFI.

Freaky wierd man

I am doing the same thing:

Power FC and Adj Cam pulleys.............on an R32 GT-R

no time to say more, will add later.

Come on Matt - bigger turbs and bigger injectors while you're at it.

You know you want to!! lol How's Esperance?

As djr81 says you will get some and its worth it but there is much more lurking around the corner.

LoL Lance,

Nah, don't want to spend more than that this year. That's just a start. Get the most out the standard engine.

I really would like some turbos and such.........but you know how it goes. Esperance is pretty good at the moment, got quite a few blokes coming out of the woodwork now that I have got THE GT-R, starting to get them all together and go out for power cruises. Few more skyliners and other modified vehiculars.

As for the topic:

Power FC for the win. So many other people are using it and have such good results, plus you can't beat the plug in ability and the support for it out there, heaps of workshops will be able to tune it.

The adjustable pulleys are good for fine tuning the engine - ever heard of freak engines that just go! This should help get closer to that. Also good for adjusting your rev range properties on more modified cars. Best results will probably be obtained when you tune the cams and PFC together at the same time to suit each other.

yer i bought my adjust cam gears along with the greedy timing belt on my car and changed my water pump and my tesioners while i was at it, i got it tuned when i got my pfc all together, the cam gears will make a difference if you are getting the pfc put in and running 13psi and gave me 235.2kw at 4 wheels, but with the cam gears and the pfc will give your car quicker spool but 4 a top end they are not all that, highflowed cat wont do anything well maybe will but you want feel no difference because i got it on my car and better to have an exhaust fron turbo back (dumpipes, front pipes) then u will feel something, goodluck

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
