My r34 gtt auto seems to have moments of unreal power and then moments latter the car feels guttless. car has basics like exhaust. fmic, apexi avcr and apexi pod. The cars been looked over by godzilla motorsports and gave gave the thumbs up for the engine in perfect working order. Just feels like the car has been very tempremental recently.

I've also been notified that it may be caused by the avcr due it being a self learning EBC. Any other thoughts on what it may be would be greatly appreciated.

i have to admit that occasionally my car does the same and its a auto r34 gtt.

I think it has to do with the standard ecu as it mainly happens when i "miss" the optimum shift. It thinks i am driving one way then suddenly i change so it doesn't adapt... does that make sense to anyone?

Yeh I find my car performs far better when im not using the sequential gear box. Im interested in just getting a stand alone ecu and getting rid of the sequential all together, if it can be done that is, without too much screwing around. I wonder if I just get a stand alone ECU like a vipec and plug straight in, if it will be fine but just unable to use the sequential. Anyone know???

What ecu? there a quite a few R34 GTT's that come in with this issue and it is usually timing related... (with remaps, unichip and emanages etc)

Another common isse is the wastegate all very easy to fix

standard ECU but ima bout to have a vipec installed. There running the standard ecu for the gearbox and the vipec as a stand alone for the engine etc, so im guesing im still gana have the problem... could always have the quick shift setup installed but just looks like a big hastle to drive for a daily driver.

I'm betting timing related as well.

What's your opinion Trent? I've seen it in my car due to a knock sensor that was overly sensitive (even at idle) What other triggers have you seen to get similar timing fluctuations?

Sam I'd look at a ROM tune, you're paying a stupid amount of money there to run a yet untested piggy-back setup of the R34 shift logic.

Yeh I mean I've considered alot of different options recently computer wise. And had some fairly good conversations with mark down at godzilla performance. As much as I want to take a cheap option out and go with a piggy back or nistune or something (not that its a bad option) Im extremely interested in seeing how this will work out. Plus im just about to invest in a stage 2 shift kit with the manual valve body installed, so i dare say the standard computer wont be piggybacking the shift logic for long.

second of all im sick of my god damn avcr self learning shit. Much prefer the vipec setup with the single missile switch for low and high boost. I may be wrong but the vipec sounds like a far better option for now and down the track than running an emanage that will cost me an upfront 2g anyways.

Apparently the emanage dont come with straight plug ins for the ER34 needs to have a custom fit done with the harness.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
