I have an R34 GTT, current modifications i have on my car are intercooler, exhaust, Bosh 040 fuel pump, pod filter (boxed) & Boost controller.

I'm booked in for a tune on friday, i was hoping to get about 250rwkw from my car.

Any recommendations on what other mods i need to achieve my goal.

Thanks in advance.

Should've got all the parts before the tune. Generally you need:

550cc injectors

Z32 AFM

Boost controller

3inch metal inake pipe with good pod filter

3inch exhaust with Honey con cat

High flowed turbo

Strong clutch

fule pump

Nistune or better ECU

Feed it with BP ulitmate.

the "tune" you have done on friday is going to consist of the workshop driving the car onto the dyno, doing a run or 2, possibly playing around with the boost level, doing another dyno run and then driving it off again. the stock ecu can't be tuned.

and as has been said above, you are going to fall short of your goal of 250kw by about 50kw.

...or more. With a standard ECU you'll probably hit rich and retard (as i did) eventually which makes the car a pig. I managed 185rwkw with exhaust, pod and 13psi.

With an aftermarket ECU and Z32 afm (or a better ECU with 3bar map sensor ie Haltech) you might be able to make 210+ on the standard turbo, although don't expect it to last all that long at that power level...

You'll need a credit card...............with approx. a $5000 limit.

Then you can buy all the necessary hardware!!!

At least...! I just dropped $12k on my R34 to make 273kw, although that was with an expensive ECU and other parts and it has plenty more left in it for E85...

I reckon you would pull around 200rwkw ... you need the turbo +and both aftermarket ECU and Injectors

I'm voting 180-190(ish) tops.

Fuel pump and intercooler will make exactly zero difference to power and as i mentioned my 34 made 185rwkw with some boost, pod and exhaust.

Of course Dynos do all read different - 200 on one is 180 on another...

not quiet true. fuel pump won't do squat for power, but as you start doing other mods then you need a better fuel pump to be able to flow enough fuel to stop it from leaning out.

as for the intercooler, they can make you get higher power than the stock one. the reason being that if you give the car a bit of a fang on the way to the dyno then the stock side mount cooler will already be suffering from heatsoak (therefor higher intake temps and less power) before it even goes on the dyno. a bigger intercooler will stay cooler for longer and therefor give you higher power on the dyno (as well as on the road). it doesn't take long for the stock cooler to heat up after you have given it a boot a few times, while in the colder days we are having at the moment a fmic will stay cool for much much longer.

The fuel pump will only help once you reach the limit of the standard system (as you say) which won't be happening here.

The cooler - well it may help in the situation you described, true - but usually i'd assume the car would be sitting around, run a couple power runs and that's it, with a fan blowing into the engine bay. This is not a proper 'tune'. It can stop power loss through heatsoak / high inlet temps yes, but it's not going to give you more power per se.

Essentially what I meant was your not going to get an extra XXkw with those two mods... :D

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
