shakedown today at mallala... first time out and i had all sorts of cutting out issues... would just cut out big time in the midrange when on the throttle.. was hell weird. it wasnt until Decs from Garage 7 came along for a passenger ride and said its boost cutting. the target boost is set to 18 psi with a cut out at 22 psi to protect the engine from overboost (plus the map sensor only reads to 22psi so cant set higher) for some reason on the dyno it never spiked but on the track with some hard throttle mashing it spiked to 22psi and cut. so we backed the target boost back a few psi and problem solved.. now peaks at 18psi and doesnt overboost.

once that was sorted have it some hard laps and was pretty happy with the overall performance.. its a little bit lazier coming onto boost but once it is it just pulls hard. didnt bother going for lap times as i was running shit tyres and drift set up. was all over the shop with shitty half worn sunnys on the back lol.

Good to meet you mate sorry I didn't get to take you for laps. Had issues then Decs from garage 7 rocked up and got stuck into data logging it. Found boost was spiking and cutting rpm.

that's cool Simon there's always next time, car sounds great with new setup!!! All the best for Tassie :thumbsup:

Quick question with the dyno graph simon, with the rb25 head and stock cam you made same power on 98 and more torque than you are now with 26 head and running E85. I know your making less torque because of the manifold but I thought you should have see a max kw jump from the e85 and 26 head.

nah what happened was when we first tuned it with BP98 and stock cams it was tuned on the dyno with no temp correction turned on. cause there was no temp probe so the dyno software automatically assumes 100 degrees ambient air temps. hence the inflated power and torque figures.

it means that the very first tune that we did on the first set up was out of wack yes... then the owner of the dyno (not my tuner, different person) purchased a temp sensor for the dyno so we were able to tune correctly from then on.

anyway.. bottom line is, yes its down on power but once cams and cam gears are installed it should bump it back up

wow what an insane read from 1 to 41 tonight, awesome build man, im also in the process of building my 32, will hopefully be going too the same depth of mods as you on mine, might see you on the track!!

    • 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?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
