Now that i finally have a SAFC II (thanks Bam)

The car went in this morning to xspeed to get sorted out.

hopefully i will be able to get rid of the blasted poping at 4.5K upwards and be able to give it fuul stick for once!:uh-huh:

the car went in with 165rwhp (filter, exhaust, BOV and bleed)

xspeed know their stuff right?

(i hope im not vialating any business agreement here on the forums, its just a harmless question...)

you would have to admit though, that there are your good tuners and your bad tuners! we have all heard stories of what went wrong with the odd tuning job at whatever tuning shop.

well its back....

good news and bad

good:

im up to a 249wrhp!!!!!

i should probably put alittle of the explination in to the difference of dynos ie. the 1st figure of 165hp was from tim slakos dyno and the recent firgure of 249hp is from the gene exhausts one.

plus also i guess i also have extra 3psi boost now plus a safc tuned car now... im so wraped :D

bad:

the pop/miss is still there. it showed up on the dyno HUGE TIME!

isnt not as bad now.

i hoping that the plugs are just fowled from it running too rich for sooo long.

i will also have to check the coil packs too i guess.

anyone clued up on this proceedure?

it it the resistance between terminal a + c?

thanks guys

Nate

yeah sorry steve, i was going to head up your way for the install/tune. but at the moment it was just more convenient for me and others around me, to get it done close.

any chance i can rattle your brains on the weekend over the popping/ possible ignition problem matter?

Hmmm, 249hp seems lowish. I had 245hp with just upped boost via my blitz sbc, dump+front pipe and stock ecu with no safc. Though this was done on steve's dyno

man youre car is good

i had a similar flatspot/misfire etc problem and it ended up being a coil pack. if you can get your hands on a spare one just swap them in and out til you find the culprit. or maybe try the ignitor module...

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • 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?
