Hi I just bought a GTR34 vspec, and want to make sure everything is safe.

now the car currenly run 380kw on wheel 21psi, boost by t517z*2. the turbo lag is really big, full boost around 6000rpm. and the AFR is look a bit lean, 4000rpm about 12AFR 7000-8000 around 13AFR.(I don't know about GTR, but my evo is allways under 12) the owner told me is very safe, no need retune. and the injector is nismo 600cc. if i don't want tune up the power do i need some bigger injector???the highest injector duty is about 90%+. but i'm sure its not 100%

the car only done 2500kms after engine rebuild. so i may need change to full syn engine oil when its up to 3000kms.

and the car doesn't have power fc hand controller. do i need one???

can you guys give me some suggestion, what should I do next??? retune it?? bigger injector?? etc....

the car running really good, its not like a 10 years car. and many nice mods. easy daily drive. I just don't like the big turbo lag.

please help thanks guys!!!

My advice is to park it in my shed and give me the keys........................lol

When does you boost begin? If its 3,000 -3500 then thats normal. Your injectors could be beginning to lean out at top revs, 90% duty cycle is close to too much, little head room.

You don't need a hand controller, it can be tuned and driven without one.

take it to a reputable tuning shop and get them to check it out, wont cost much considering how much you have already spent buying it.

If you didnt like the lag why did you buy it, would have been plenty of other good powered options to buy that are more responsive.

if you wanna push it harder, you will need bigger injecors. the tune may be alright, just have less margin for crap fuel etc.

what was your last ride before this? an R34 GTR with 380rwkw would be an absolute weapon, if its a street car, stick with what you got, as your just going to add more lag with gains that probly arent all that great, and you may find that the car is actually *slower* in most typical 'street' situations

if u wanna race it, strip it bare (coz its free) and go run some numbers

yeah thats right, I even can't catch up a DC5-R when the boost not coming up. when the boost come up, the DC5 just like stoped.

yes, the boost start around 3000, full boost on 6000.

I like it, maybe I just not used to it.

thank you for reply, my last ride is a 135i and a evo9. the 135i like NA, no turbo lag at all. :)

13 is too lean at the top end.. if it is actually that lean at 7-8000rpm you will kill your engine very quickly. get it on a dyno asap.

OK, the engine just finish rebuild. 13 is very lean I think, but my friend saw a lot black smoke when i push hard. and the 13 is for 410kw tune, I haven't see the 380kw dyno chat yet, but i guess they should be simily. maybe the 380kw's tune is richer.

410rwkw on 600cc injectors.. :)

Dont flog it until a retune. Before you retune it though, get some bigger injectors.

Enjoy!

some hard push on street should be allright I think. but of cause no track work, I will definite take it to retune before any track work.

sounds fine to me, 13 is ok and 90% duty is ok

plonk it on a dyno for $50 insurance, but sounds fine

i wouldnt mess with the tune, unless something horribly is shown on the dyno check

Wrong.

:):blink:

Bye bye engine.

You can and will do some major damage unless it's fixed up.EG track day.

Either clean up the tune on the 600cc injectors with less boost etc.

Or upgrade your injectors and fuel system if it needs it.

Mine ran in the high 12's-low 13's a/f when I got my car, as it still had the jap tune. Drove it round for 6 months.

Ignition timing/detonation will do more damage than a leaner a/f.

Just my 2 cents (not worth much lol)

Cheers

thank you, i really confuse about the AFR, like my evo, its run 13-12 afr and 227awkw on SJ's dyno). but when I move to QLD, I did a dyno check, its run low 11 and high 10 afr and 195kws on Chiptorque dyno. same tune, different number.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
