Have been slowoly putting together a 10k GT-R mod package and have come to the tuning side of things. 10k got me a PAR gearbox, -5's, 550cc squirters, vipec, nismo pump, K&N panel filter, adj cam gears and half a tune at the local shop. ( the half a tune will be explained shortly)

i have attached a dyno graph of what this setup made and im not entirely happy with the results. I was informed by the tuner that he was not impressed by the car and that power was very umm, linear. I questioned why this would be and 4 days and 2k later, i have no answers and a bloody big headache. Now bieng in a semi regional part of the state of QLD means im basically 600km from anywhere so taking it south was always going to be a second option. Lesson learnt!

If any of the Guru's out there would like to shed some intrawebs mechanical knowledge on this and throw some ideas my way, ill happily take it on board and try it out as im a little angry and disheartned. AND, before i get grilled about going -5's, i went that option for future mod plans. The car drives average and seems to make about 4hp more than stock, even in the top end, has no coldstart properties whatsoever and seems to be running as rich as an arab oil baron at the moment so fire away!

Actually, scrap that, i cant for the life of me get this file to upload! anyone care to upload it for me? pm me an email adress and ill shoot it straight to u

Just click the [browse] button. select the file, then click [upload] and wait for it to do it's thing...

I'd swap tuners, or swap cars. Owning a car like a GTR in a country town has its problems [i'm in the same jam]. You have to decide if you want to drive 2-300km and get a 'real' tune, or if you would rather live with an aussie V8???

I think that your mods should give good power and maybe more than what you already have, 280kw is OK, but a GTR with those mods should be over 300. So your tuner is the weak link in the chain.

As they say, only a poor workman blames his tools..............

What exhaust do you have? If it is a standard one then maybe that could be affecting final power?

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • 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.
