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

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
