got a r33 gtr with power fc, thing was pullin 257kw at the wheels then the next time got it tuned they had to bring it back 9 degrees cause it was pinging of its head. so as a result not getting i was much power now its pretty much back to standard. not naming anyone but when i asked what was the reason for it, i was told that they didnt no:-( its still driving ok from what i can gather but just wondering if anyone has any opions on what might be going on?

going to see someone about it next week but would mind gettin a few opions as i have not much of an idea. thanks:-)

did they adjust the CAS or adjust the ignition timing on the IGN MAP on the hand controller?

adjusting the CAS is braindead and the lazy way, and it affects the whole tune

but if they did it on the IGN map its ok. what fuel are you using?

cars usually knock different on the dyno vs on the street so its normal to see some knocking on the street after a full tune

i didnt get much feed back at all, he just said dont panic drive it for a while and see what happens. considering he is spost to be one of the best you think he would have some idea. im was using 100 octane but have to use the 98 and im putting the octaine booter in it but its not really makin much diffrence. anyway hopin this new guy i will take it too can sort it out. this shit is depressing. feel like im drivin me mums collrola sometimes:-)

so you got it tuned on 100 and now your using 98?

no wonder its knocking, you need to get it retuned on 98, the timing will be heaps different

until you get it re-tuned on 98 baby it around, backdial the CAS or use the powerfc temp ign adjust (covered in the PFC FAQ in my signature)

the PFC temp ign adjust is the quickest way to temporary reduce timing across the whole map

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
