Hey all,

just thought I would do the righty, new to this forum but not to forums as I am an active member of www.perthstreetbikes.com.

I have just purchased by first skyline, a 1997 series 3 GTR. It was purchased at auction through Danny at Imports 101 (Thanks Mate) on Saturday so will be here in month or so. Cannot wait to get my hands on it, genuine auction grade 4.5 with only one mark on the front lower lip which will 'buff right out' or maybe need a bit of paint but meh, the rest of the car is spotless and straight. One owner with 59,000 klicks.

A few pics....

It has some nice extras already (Tein suspension, Kakimoto exhaust, apexi intake etc) but coming out of a 430rwkw supercharged thunder ute (I know a holden, but hey I have finally seen the light), previously owning a 12 second Sti and currently riding a 07 R1, I just knew that a basically stock GTR was just not going to keep me satisfied...................

so I went shopping and have the following waiting to be installed:

HKS Adjustable Fuel Pressure RegulatorSard 700 cc injectors HKS fuel pumpHKS extension kitHKS EVCHKS GT-SS turbo kitTomei Exhaust ManifoldTomei Pon Cam and pulley set (type B - 260 i/260 e).Tomei timing beltPower FC with hand controller,

Hopefully this lot should get her moving along quite nicely and put a grin on my face.

Ill post up some new pics when it arrives as well as a dyno sheet and then hopefully come out on a cruise to meet some of you lot.

Just one question, who do you lot recommend as good PFC tuners....?

Cheers

Simon

ooooh Series 3! Nice! :D

Also, nice choice of mods too :rofl:

Best bet is to go to an SAU meet local to you and have a chat to the guys there, see who they use... There is a WA section but you probably already know that...

PFCs are great in the fact that nearly anyone can tune them, there are a few that excel in this area, but there are many that are more then capable :)

Also, WELCOME! :) Great choice of car!

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
