Let's start from the very beginning...... 2002 BNR34 VSpec II NUR purchased from Zele International in Japan through Powerplay Imports. It was delivered over two years ago. The car was in 5A condit

Picture of Racepace stage one exhaust as requested. This may look like any garden variety aftermarket exhaust, but there are lots of hidden sneaky tricks to make the turbos spool hard and fast.

Matt,

I am in awe of this build of yours. Coming from a Nissan S15 and continuing my journey with a Storm Trooper Evo X MR literally tossing up as you have pointed out to a R35 you make me regret my decision of buying a White R34 and doing what you have done, which was a 3rd option.

I really hope we can meet one day as like yourself, I am obsessed with white car, black carbon bits and black wheels.

Tell me if I am wrong but it appears your guards aren't rolled yet it appears that you want to do track days? Have you considered a respray in a better white maybe with a distinct pearl?

DYNO RESULT:

This is the email Beno sent me when the car was ready for pickup. I will let someone who knows about GTRs summarise what the RB28 V Cam feels like on the road:

The all important dyno graphs:

RB26 NUR vs RB28

Will post pictures of car this afternoon. Need to clean car first!

was this tune on race gas? as someone pointed out, your lambada = 12:1 a/f. little too lean for me with that much boost, if it was on pump gas.

pump

blitz, i think the tuner may have half a clue on how to tune a GTR when a) has built/tuned a 33 R that was only about 1.5 seconds off a v8 supercar around sandown in full street-trim, b)done something on this build that many thought was not possible without a HKS ecu c) have countless other GTR's getting around oz seeing plenty of track time, from weekend warriors to Targa events.

i think it's safe to say the tune is more than fine

thats the only way to build them, trust me dude if u saw his car in the flesh u would love the paint work its clean as f**k....

Hey,

Have been trying to find the info in this build but i think there is way too many pages..lol

Would like to know rpm and psi this beast runs to make its power, for interest sake to compare to my setup. Also what head work has been done if thats ok :)

Congrats on this build ;) . Awesome awesome machine...

subscribed - what a beautiful gtr u have there.

with 412kw, is this running e85 or pump? also, what level of headwork do you have i.e. porting, cam specs?

hahah, Marko mate, 3 of the 4 posts above you talk about the fuel!

From my chats with Matt the car has had some headwork, and as far as cams it does have V-CAM so not sure if only one or both cams have been replaced.

Still remember the day I took it for a drive after completed. Truely amazing.....

Thanks for everyone's interest in this thread still.

I believe the my car will be featured in the January 2011 Performance Import issue, at least that's what Jun Sawa (photographer). He also said that the photos thurned out amazing! He is not allowed to show anyone the photos until the magazine article release due to copyright.

As for the queries:

412RwKw output on pump gas, that is 98RON, is definitely possible. Its not the top end power that is amazing, its the low end torque and response that make it fun to drive.

A/F ratio might be on the 'lean' side, however, the car is tuned for street application mainly. The very occassional and brief high boost/lean exertion with street driving should not pose as any risk to engine life. If I were to track the car, Racepace has suggested detuning the engine for bigger safety margin.

Regarding head work.... I am unsure. I know a fully reconditioned RB head was used for the build, but I don't know whether Beno did any sneaky tweaks to it though. If he did, he was not prepared to tell me. Trade secret I suppose and I respect that. The cams are very mild (IN 248; EX 256) and suited to the Garretts -5s.

The V Cam certainly makes a world of difference. Pity I don't have direct dyno comparison on the same engine/turbo setup with and without V Cam.

Sorry, I don't have a power output vs rpm dyno graph. I guess you can convert vehicle speed to engine rpm by knowing what gear the car is running when dyno was charted.

Thanks everyone again for comments!

tangomatt - wat boost you running on the 98ron and whats you rev limiter set to? im sure u have no need to rev this motor out...hence getting the v-cam and extra capacity.

street driving, this thing would be amazing :)

sometimes i wish i kept my setup on the sane side..lol

Looking at the graph above it looks like it's around 22psi of boost.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
