Just got back from the workshop. Trouble looming. Council tied up his afyternoon sprouting by laws and regs re noise (I told yall it was farkin loud)

just about done all the low and midrange tuning, I have never seen anybody so meticulous. Hes dropping the car off shortly, then It goes back monday when the animal will be unleashed. Very sedate 300rwhp at 8lb atm. Found an extra 50 hp just playing with the inlet cam. The idle sounds off the planet. Mick asked me if i wanted it smoother as he would alter thye cams to suit, i told him if he touched it i would kill him, twice, it sounds farkin haaaaaawwwwwwt!!!!

For those wondering why this is taking as long as it is its really simple. When i questioned the magic man re the time frame he told me straight up. If you want a tune like 90% of tunes going around atm then fine, I'll do it and you can have the car in a couple of hours. But what you will get for your money is a large hp number and a car rich as all shit to keep it safe, If you want the tune to unlock the potential of the build then Farkorf and let me tune it in my own way and my own time....I farked orf. :)

I understand the time required for a decent tune, but wow. Is Mick working on your car in between other jobs or just taking a farking long time on yours alone. I'd be scared to see your bill for the tune....you'd want some serious power/response!

the thing now pulls harder with the current 300hp than it did with the previous 340hp on the run in tune. and oh my son of rajab, that camy lumpy idle is just sooooooo porn :ninja:

rofl, I'm with you Matt. If he was seriously spending all that time on mine alone i would want a veyron at the end of it.

Due to illness and some other issues he has only spent 3/4 hours on mine. Patience grasshopper, it will be worth the wait.

man i am so unlucky i was at ipswitch like 1 -2 hrs ago...and i missed yah...bugger.

sounds like it is going to haul arse on 1 bar...cant wait to see it on 1.5 bar.....mmmmmm..

noel's busy as a mofo so i'll update you guys

it aint making anymore power than 440bhp, dont matter what boost, 18psi, or even 23psi. we think the cats collapsed.

also its now not holding boost, it's spiking. but i believe thats because the exhaust gases rnt escaping quick enough (collapsed cat) and the gases are backing up against the wastegate, forcing it closed and then increasing the boost.

he's also had to change fuel rail (got my tomei rail on there now) because the injectors werent sealing to the rail and had to change boost controller (now running blitz spec s) as it wouldnt allow any adjustment over the 9psi wastegate spring

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 馃槃  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
