After a series of disasters with various tuning shops around Sydney I finally have a result with my r34 gtr ..

Attached is the dyno, 390kw, which is nice. But the big difference vs before..

1. it accumulates revs like a motorbike

2. It boosts in all the gears, even 1st which makes legal street driving fun if you want it to be.

3. It feels very eager below 3000

At 4000 rpm, it is doing 175kw, and is nearly @ 1 bar

At 5000 rpm, it is doing 330kw and has topped out at 24psi.

From 5000 to 8000 it is ridiculous.

Below 4000 rpm, the car feels much stronger than it did with the N1s @ 270kw (it should feel more laggy).

mods are..

A fairly stock bottom end (Racepace stage 2 motor) but with a big sump and pump

A bone stock head but with basic hks v-cam on the inlet and a fat cam on the exhaust

Nismo twin plate clutch

2530kai

big injectors

direct wired but stock fuel pump

N1 manifolds

Nismo weldina exhaust

fatter intercooler

HKS knock monitor

HKS f-con vpro (MAP) piggy back the nismo ecu

HKS boost controller with A=19psi (the lower line) and B=24psi

Tunehouse charged quite reasonably for the tune, they had to obtain japanese software from a visiting HKS dignitary in order to fully program the v-cam map as the controller alone only allows a low-res map. I think it was the first v-cam they had seen.

Considering the mess the tune was in, uncertain state of the mods, etc, Jim @ tunehouse didn't take advantage of the situation.

His shop at Marrickville is like a forensic lab!

So no before/after?

there were several before so I didn't know what to post.

The before @ tunehouse was with the crap tune, but same mechanicals.

before, as in, when I got the car from Japan, I posted previously in the 2.6

Always confuses me with X axis in KPH but the power band, 1.3 bar,

was from 235 to 265kw. CRD said they could fatten the mid range

a bit with adjustable sprockets, power fc.

but now power band is from 325 to 390kw, starts sooner, and is higher

everywhere.

We are doing a RB 2.8 Vcam with a Haltech Platinum Pro Plugin ECU. Vcam Uses Nissan VQ control valve and Cam position sensor and as Haltech have 350Z and R35 Plugins they know how to use them. Makes for very Good Cam control.

I'd like to see a locally developed V-Cam style product developed. There is a fairly large market base in Aus for such a device to suit a 26 head. The only reason I havn't got one yet is because of the price and difficulty to set up in Aus.

Any takers?

any info about your 2530kai turbos are they supposed to produce more power at the same sort of response as normal 2530's, any photos?

Sorry to be off topic but you must be one of the few people in australia to have these i didn't even know if they were in production yet no-one really seems to know much about them outside of japan

any info about your 2530kai turbos are they supposed to produce more power at the same sort of response as normal 2530's

No idea. I was assuming they were basically the same as the 2860-5s, if they have been modified by HKS for better response I'm ok with that :D

I know there have been 2 prior variations of the 2530, prior to the -kai. Hopefully they get better each time.

attached is a picture of the R1 (some N1 variant) that came out, and the ones that went in. They sure don't look much different in size (n1 and 2530)

edit: looking at the picture again, I now doubt it is the -kai version. I think they are just regular 2530s !

the pictures online of the 2530kai show the housing with a big GT stamping, and a shiny placard.

Garage101 have a prototype already. www.imports101.com.au Email Danny for details.

Haha , i've been thinking about this for years why someone had not adapted a vct module off a newer car onto the 26 cams.... both intake AND exhaust.....

Thanks for the link... i shall have a looksee.

ShaneF , would this be something up your alley ?

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
