A power run is all thats needed, you will soon know if its leaning out or detonating.

If it does lean out or detonate they will jump off the loud pedal and let you know. Ask how the afr's were and they will give u a print out of the base run + afr's or torque depends what you want. IMO afr's are of more value in your instance.

Couldn't buy a decent boost gauge for $40 that doesn't read bad (i.e the speco's and others around its price range etc are crap) :)

+1 thats all you need Bill

from memory the GWW dyno print out has power, afr, boost and torque readouts

so that should give you the info you need on as to how your car is running mate

also the dyno operator if you ask them politely will give you a nice feedback on whats happening under the hood mate

do it and will see you there lol

Hey Bill,

Could you please let us know what the problem was eventually?

I'm having the exact same problem, my R32 GTS4 feels slow. I took it one step further than you and installed a boost guage and it reads 11psi through the whole gear so it's not losing boost but still feels like an NA after 4-5 RPM.

Anyone else have a known solution to this kind of problem?

could be running very rich... best bet is to take it to someone like road & track or boostworx/southern hitech dyno and get them to run the car on the dyno with an air/fuel ratio sensor

that'll tell you whats going wrong in many cases

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
