Hey,

I have a R32 GTS-T RB20DET and the mods its always had is...

  • High Flow GCG Turbo running 10psi
  • Custom Made 3" SS Mandrel Turboback Exhuast
  • Walbro 500hp pump (installed 2005..... time to retire?)
  • Fuel Pressure Regulator

I had it dyno'd and it made 150rwkw and was told its lean in high revs.

Recently i installed

  • Plazmaman Forward Facing Plenum
  • Plazmaman 2.5" Piping Kit
  • 600x300x75mm Hybrid Intercooler
  • Custom Made Solid G/box mount
  • Cusco Oil Catch Can with appropiate Oil breathers
  • Still Running 10psi

After i did this work i reset the ECU while car was warm and then started it up and revved it right out in each gear straight away (told to do so)

Now when i put my foot down in first gear it sounds like limiter at any revs over 4000rpm and just doesnt pull hard. Then all other gears are fine to flog right out to limiter... unless i am going around a corner, mainly left turns. If going around a left hand corner in second and touch accelerator slightly harder than normal at only around 2500rpm it stutters and doesn't go anywere. This was with a full tank of fuel too

Im just wondering what this could be... Boost doesnt start till 3000rpm and its on full at around 4500rpm. Engine has 150,150,150,145,145,140psi compression, brand new NGK normal spark plugs, serviced with new oil and oil filter and fuel filter 4000km ago.

I'm thinking maybe fuel pump is getting its age on?? How long would it usually last? I have a APEXI Power FC D-Jetro for an rb26dett on its way and i got a field one touch connecter that a mate is modifying so that this ecu suits my car. I also have gtr injectors and am going to get rid of the fuel pressure regulator. Also have custom made 3"-4" ss intake made to delete airflow sensor

If you have any ideas please let me know, at first i thought maybe fuel cut in first gear but now recently its doing it at low revs around corners.

thanks in advance

Your running a stock ECU.

So basically the same as the other 15 threads in the past 4 weeks

Until you get a tune you dont know where your at.

The ECU will be having an absolute FIT at the mod's you've done. Get a proper ECU, tune, dyno session and THEN see if you have problems

Thread over.

see thats what im trying to figure out thinking maybe fuel pump is f**ked.. i wanna have evrything in befor i fork out for a tune.. maybe even coilpacks have shit themselfes.... i was just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them.. cause kinda seems like something is loose as in around corners its not very happy.

As i said i have a d-jetro fc on its way its just there is an 8week wait from japan and nengun just sent an email saying there has been an extra unexpected delay

an safc should have been fitted ages ago. the stock ecu would be having nightmares at this stage, good for you re the powerfc. hope you get it soon

re the coilpacks have you tried siliconing them up, ie hightemp silicone sealant all around each coil pack works wonders. but if you are planning on running 1bar+ then perhaps its best to start saving for the splitfires. but still, silicone costs $10 so that should be the first thing you get ready pre-tune.

with the fuel pump, id say its fine... most likely the stock ecu having a meltdown, but then again its walbro- from allllll Ive heard (hearsay) you cant trust them. bosch 040 for $200 would be worth a go, sell the walbro for some beer money.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
