Hey guys, id like to retune my car in the next few months...just getting my next parts list fitted......i just need to know whether its worth me doing a re-tune for better power...and driveability...its already a great car to drive, but maybe these upgrades will help make it even nicer:)...im not really after big power now (as its a stock internal motor)

heres my current mods (running a nice 312awkw on rb26 stock motor)

Rb26 r33 gtr

R34 N1 BB Turbos

Bosch 044 intank pump

nismo 555cc injectors (running 90% d/c)

ARC cold air box, filter

stock AFM's

Stock Cooler

3" Exhaust with Aftermarket Split Dumps

aftermarket clutch

HKS Cam Gears (they have been zero-in, and not been touched with last tune)

Bleed Valve

Heres my next upgrade list for next tune:

Tomei Cams 9.15mm lift?

Bigger Injectors - 700cc?

Have my Adj Cam gears tuned

Buy an EBC for better boost control...my boost dips currenty with the bleed valve...at 5000 its 21psi...6000 its 18psi....7500 its 17psi....dips quite badly but not noticeable when driving funny enough...

Now my main question...will i be hapy with the re-tune after getting these upgrades done?...

Well ...

You wont be able to drive with different injectors without a retune/adjustment anyhow. Thats just common sense :down:

So yes - you will need a retune regardless, and yes, you will see a difference.

A massive difference considering you had it tuned without cam gear settings, poor boost control and so on

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.
