Hi everyone, I've also just joined this site and wanted to say hi.

I flew to Sydney a couple of weeks ago and picked up my new toy (R34 GT-R V-Spec) from a dealer then drove it back to Adelaide.

I've purchased a whole bunch of bolt on bits in the meantime (Garrett Turbos, fuel upgrade bits, bigger intercooler, Power FC etc) that I'll be fitting once I get it through inspection.

I'll probably do most of the work myself but I need a good tuner for the Power FC so I'd love to hear everybodys thoughts.

Here are some pics of the car at the dealership before I picked it up.

If you see a grey R34 GT-R with yellow NSW plates while your on the road, come and introduce yourself so I can put faces to the names on this site.

Cheers Pete

Hi welcome to SAU

have you been in the Pasadena area recently? as i think i have seen you a few time. Car looks really clean

yeh I reckon I have been through there a couple of times. Give us a wave next time you see me.

I sometimes ride a full custom black and silver bike through that area, the 'SLED'.

nice ride mate. Welcome to SAU. Looks like the engine has been out, as the cam cover "RB26" is not normally been painted red from memory.

So it's got an oil cooler, HSK intercooler .... what other bits does it have?

How much did u pick it up for? (if you don't mind me asking). It's amazing how there are so many around for under $60k, yet there are still some dreamers asking up to $100k for them.

Enjoy your new toy :teehee:

Price wise your not far off the mark. It has got an oil cooler and HKS piping but a standard intercooler (for now).

Motor hasn't been out though, all R34 V-Specs have red covers while the NUR's have silver ones.

It's also got TEIN suspension so its a bit of a hard ride even on the softest setting.

KAKIMOTO dual exhaust from CAT back, but the front half will get a change too pretty soon.

Hi Glen, you're right it is pretty quick at the moment but I'm a bit of a rev head so it's never quick enough unfortunately.

can my car have your cars babies?

Hi Cara,

I tell you what, you've got a pretty good looking machine yourself so their offspring could look like a baby 2008 R35 GTR.

I think if our cars ever met we would have our hands full trying to pry them apart!!!

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
