So I reckon I have just about finished modding this car now.

Bought it about 3 months ago changed all the fluids, did timing belt, serviced auto trans ect. Replaced sparks and then coils with splitfires as stock ones were mis-firing. That got it running normal. Then did a full 3" exhaust, FMIC, bumped the boost up to 11psi. Bought a SAFC NEO and had it tuned the other day. First few runs it wouldn't do over 148rwkw, then tuner realised fuel pump was stuffed. Put in a high flow pump and tuned the NEO and it pulled 199.3rwkw. Car is much nicer to drive now, pulls very hard throughout the rev range - my Apexi RSM is showing a 1 second improvement in 80-120km/h roll on after tune and it is now 0.8secs faster to 100 than before tune. Hoping to get down to WSID on Wednesday night next week to see what it does down the strip.

When I first bought this car I didnt want any mods, but then one thing leads to another.....ect

Anyway car is a daily so dont want to do any other power mods - as far as reliabilty goes is there any other supporting mods I'm missing? - I want this to last me a while.

That's a pretty good tune with the NEO considering it doesn't have much to play with in regards to timing.

My advice would be to get a transmission oil temp gauge, as a rule of thumb I have to wait until the Engine oil is 90c before I know I can give the car heaps without the auto slipping.

A temp gauge on the gearbox would let me know when the time is right, quicker :stupid:

Trans and dff should be OK at that power level without crazy abuse (shoving in D from N) and that sort of stuff. I've had 2 auto R34's over the past 6 years and neither showed signs of gearbox trauma...even the N/A that was boosted.

wow impressive tune,

how much did the safc neo set ya back (( that is the computer that was tuned right0?

Yeah NEO (piggyback air/fuel controller) was tuned only. PM sent on price i paid.

Have noticed quite low oil pressure the last week at idle - I started a different thread on it, really hoping its not something serious...

Why is your tyre presure 50?

Secondly how do you rate Race solutions to tune a skyline as we know they specialise in rotaries.

No idea on the tyre pressure, Hitman did the tune - I went with him after recommendations from others on this forum. Dyno figures can say whatever, but the RSM dosnt lie (relativley speaking in terms of improvements in times) so I'd rate him very highly.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on

      Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
