Hey guys

Well iv done the basics as listed in my sig and just wanted some input on what I can do next to squeeze a little more out of the car? I was thinking about moving into the cosmetics like body kits and rims but I like the look of the standard clean GTT look.

So apart from opening her up what else can be done?

Mods so far is:

HIGH FLOW TURBO 16PSI BOOST

FMIC

HKS HIGH FLOW FUEL RAIL

BOSCH FUEL PUMP

HKS INTAKE/EXHAUST CAM GEAR

470cc

TURBO BACK EXHAUST

APEXI PFC

Sorry if this is a FAQ but ye new to the world or powarrrrrr :huh:

Ta

Ash

i think it's be a question for the guy that tuned to say what was holding you back, id say save up for a new turbo tho, cam as well, depending on what cams depends where you wanna make more power

Hey ash, got some pics of your ride up buddy?

Sounds like you're setup for decent power on the street, have you done any suspension/brake modifications? How about sydneykid's suspension setup for your R34.. including LCA, camber kits, subframe alignment kit, struts etc. Perhaps get in on the R34 slotted/groove rotors with EBC green pads for some brake work. Hopefully that'll let your car rip through those hills.

Cosmetic wise, if you want to enhance the standard lines of your 34.. perhaps an East Bear lip and perhaps rear diffuser? That'd set it totally off with the right set of rims.

well nothing was holding the tuner back apart from me being paranoid that i want it all safe ra ra ra. might take it back to get a re tune done and ye tell them to go nuts with it lol. but just wanted to know what else can i pretty much add as a bolt on or upgrade without opening her up much. would cams with standered internals make any difference? or is replacing cams classed as a not a standered internal anymore???

howie iv already got racelogic coilovers and have been playing around with that to get a perfect balance for cornering and traction. brakes are standered calipers with bendix pads and they stop the car up niceley. will be upgrading lines though as i wanna hit the tracks with this and i dotnt hink standered brake lines would be loving the temp. apart from that iw as thinking brembos but i dont think ill be needing that till i eventually hit the 300's at the rears. but i will be adding other bits

so handling im happy with at the moment cause im slowley getting my head around that but its performance that when i come upto and hit a brick wall cause i dont know much about it, apart from handing my CC over and go "here now make it fast" lol. but i want to learn and do things to it by knowing whats going on and how its going to benefit ra ra ra.

i will be speaking to the tuners also but most of the time they try pushing in for the big things by suggesting rebuild with forged parts. which iw ill do but not while the motor is still ticking. thats something that will be done when she goes boom.

as for pics howie only pic i have is on the r34 pic thread.

Im running similar setup with cams (which i highly recommend) and hitting 260rwkw with 270 hopefully being extracted after the last tune.

IMO best mod I did was Jap rims, it turned the car to dull and boring off boost to a monster with wheel spin at lights and smoke shows in launching not to mention crazy lighting fast accleration (yes all i did was change wheel, 9kg cant hurt!)

I will be hitting up a body kit .. thanks to a bonus from work :D make the car look alot meaner. Then I will sit back and enjoy it until I blow the motor and rebuild it with a to4z :blush: or buy a GTR tough one!!

You car seems to be well thought out, the only is get rid of the china coil-overs and fit something decent, the racelogic stuff is junk... a few of the drift cars sponsorsed by racelogic dont even run them. :blush: ive played with them in customers cars and cant stand them, G4 or k-sport.

Forget the rebuild the R34 GTT donk can play all day @ HIGH 200rwkw's and 17-18psi if tuned well.

they are powerflow injectors http://www.powerflowinjection.com/

a bit of a pain to deal with as i had a few problems but apart from that they are ok but im upgrading them to 700cc as i got a good deal so mine will be up for sale soon if your interested. its done 1700ks on the injectors.

so decided on my next step

EBC, poncams as they seem like the way to go and bigger injectors and oil cooler and tune. that should keep it as a good streeter and a noob track car lol

water meth injection ill read into that as ye dont know much about that. but ye thanks guys

Hi

i am currently in the process of doing the exact same upgrade to my rb25 neo motor... i just got off the phone from a bloke about poncams and he seems to believe that there is better hp gains than spending money on tomei poncams and suggested to keep the standard ones... however my engine tuner suggested i upgrade them... because the gtt motors have vvti the performance shop bloke (not the tuner) said that you will lose the vvti feel of the motor... i was under the impression that upgrading these cams improves the power and response of the motor overall... would you need new cam gears as well to support the new cams?? sorry for hijacking the thread but i am seeking very similar advice and other owners experience on this upgrade

E85 not sure as yet.

from what i have read and heard (havent experianced it myself) pon cams are a worth while upgrade and with supporting mods gains are really good. as for cam gears id imagine you would need to change them but i could be wrong.

for the time being iv put engine mods on hold till may but with the current tune car is running really really really good.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
