idling is a bastard when cold. not sure if it has a cold start built in? accually thinking of putting in a manual choke. The td06 come on boost bout 4300 and full boost at 5000, it will spin the wheels in 3gear on boost in the dry and all gears in the wet. It revs all the way to 9000 in 5th gear, not sure what speed that is though??

Your cold idle problem is easily fixed, take it to your tuner and they will sort it with just a few cold starts if not get back to me and i'll give you some pointers!

But how does you car return to idle when warm, and how high is the idle? Mine stalls if set to 750rpm when pulling up at a set of lights, if done gently it idles fine but you carn't even free rev it without it coughing and splutering!!

I have the plug in microtech installed in my r33 for a couple of weeks now. I have had poor fuel consuption although installing an air temp sensor might help this problem. Also i am going back to set up the cruise mode properly to my driving conditions for max and safe fuel consumption. At the moment i have managed about 250kms out of a full tank and driving conservatively. Although idle is fine and the power curve seems smooth.

The difference of an aftermarket ECU is defiately worth while in a performance point of view. I have noticed a good power gain all round.

So what mods has you car got to go along side the computer, everyone seems to have lots of expensive gear alone with it. Who is doing the tuning for u. If i dare say so the air temp sender will not help fuel consumption but asist the car to run well in all wether conditions! Are you running the base prgram on normal mode to use this much fuel?

This not idling in the wet is interesting do you have the aditional air temp sender?

Hi guys, this is my fist time at this so forgive me if I write something stupid. Just about to install my LT12 which I got from RPM. Firstly I must get rid of the dreaded misfire at 4500 - 5000 rpm which only developed 2 weeks ago. Have changed and gapped plugs to .8 and running standard boost, no luck, about to test coil packs.

The standard computer doesn't use one so there isn't a Nissan one as such but when they installed the Microtech it is also optional! Have a look in the plenum or more likly in the piping that runs from the intercooler to the throtle body. It look like a threaded gold sensor with a grey plug and two wires coming from it one black ( running back to the computer ) and one Brown to earth or vise versa it doesn't matter!

Its about the size of a large thumb and has Delco written on it.

The off boost drivability is magic. It is just like a N/A.

I didn't think it possible and I thought my tuner was bullsh&tting me when he said it would be better than it was before.

When the revs hit nearly 4,000 is when the power magic happens. (I also got a 500hp turbo installed)

    • 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?
