Ive recently dropped my RB20 back into my 32 and she is running a little rough.. i have cleaned up and changed alot of things to help make it run smoother but its still sounding like a subaru lol, i think im just avoiding the fact that it really needs a tune

So ive looked around the forum and i cant seem to find anything direct, but i was looking for the best place in PERTH to get my RB20 tuned and for the best price with the best service

can anybody direct me? thanks guys :D

It will sound like a subaru because its running on 5 or 4 of 6 cylinders. Check the leads, coil pack, spark plugs, injectors, injector wiring etc. these will cause ur car to miss fire permenently on a cylinder. Hence make subi noise.

Most normal mechanics can fix this

good luck.

read the consolidated workshop thread and you will find answer to your question

there is not 1 best there are lots of personal preferences for wrksops

eg one person prefes x-speed another will say hyperdrive/top racing etc

yeh as above.

best bet would be to ring around to the workshops, tell them what you need done, or what the problem might be.

and from there on, you decide what workshop.

i see, well we have checked my ignitor, coil packs etc and found that it ran a little better with a different ignitor. i have checked the leads, they all seem to be fine, i was told to run some injector cleaner through my fuel, and use 98 octane which i have done except she's still running rough

i have a VG30 turbo going on, looking into getting some gtr injectors, 040 and dif fuel pressure reg etc, and my computer has been remapped according to a mechanic friend? i dont know how he could tell, but yeah...

so i was going to get it tuned with that, thanks for the info guys

I would figure out why it's misfiring before you bother upgrading turbo etc and trying to get it tuned. If it's not running right when you take it to be tuned you'll end up paying through the nose for the tuner to figure out what is wrong before he can even start tuning the car.

Do some experimentation and analyses by trial and error.. start the engine and unplug each coil one at a time, see if it makes any difference. Can also swap coils from good to bad cylinders to see if it's the coil or the harness. Do the same with the injectors.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
