my r32 gtr has an issue with tune ...

i rebuilt it last year .. pistons oil pump re-co head and turbos . stock ecu

issue is when i time the car with new cas sensor it runs very well , 230+atws ... but 1 week later , it detunes itself and runs sluggish. alot more noticable above 3000rpm. engine doesnt miss hesitage , engine lacks intake and turbo noises and a heap of power above 4000rpm. . . . why do i have to keep playing with the CAS sensor .. car drives fine though ....

i put 2mm washer on timing case, followed by CAS sensor, spring washer and 2mm washer

wiring issue? should i find another ecu?

I've had a car do the same thing, replaced countless CAS's over a couple of years. It ended up being a bent CAS mounting bracket that wasn't holding the CAS straight and it would stuff them in no time. it also seemed to be alot worse when it was cold. hope that helps.

stock cam gears, timing is spot on .. just cleaned the CAS sensor up again and im flying :) ...for now :P

got rid off my timing case and had a look at my cas braket. the two dals on CAS bracket are good. left the timing case off , only using the rubber seal that sits around as a washer/spacer ....... under my CAS sensor bolted to the blacket

its been one week and car runs well :rofl: now to put the timing case back :thumbsup:

thanks for throwing me in the right direction ... problems not over yet XD

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
