ok... problem fixed after months of wondering what the hell it was. my mate works at nissan in ipswich and we hooked up the consult machine thing to it. and it came up saying the KNOCK SENSOR wasn't thereor something like that. well i searched on the site for knock sensors and lots and lots of people have had the same problem with the knock sensor. i just wasn't looking for the right thing. i looked at it them this morning and one of the plugs were disconnected. how the hell does that happen, and the guy thathad the car before me had it serviced in brisbane at a nissan place and they never picked up on it.... WHAT THE. alll those months of no power. i'm going to mt glorious tomorrow with my girl... time to test it out!!! :headspin: :) :headspin:

So, howd it go?

I just got my car back from getting it tuned on the dyno, and it was having exact same problem. Hitting 4500 the power would follow the curve hitting bout 230rwhp on the first run, but on the second run would break down and lose power to about 175rwhp. If they turned the car off, and then back on again, same thing on first run, then crap from then on. After hours of checking they finally found the knock sensor loose and dirty. It seems to have fixed the problem...phew!!

Did u replace your knock sensor??

Will

hell yeah.. before it just died at 5 grand and now it pulls to 7 grand all day every day. raced my friend with a mazda 626 turbo and it beat me before i fixed it and now a beat it by about a car length over about a 1/4 mile.

Really?? 230rwhp, I was hoping for more. Ive done, exhaust, filter, boost, fuel pump, fuel computer, front mount intercooler. Although it was at 0.8bar, as it was being dynoed for tuning the fuel computer. I spose if I was to go for a power run at 1bar (still got standard turbo) then it would be a bit more attractive...

Ive got the HKS Super AFR. The apexi seem to be most popular, but Ive got everything HKS so i wanted it to match. It also has a few more rev points that can be tuned I think, built in processor ( fuzzi logic?? Im not sure the advantage) and also built in EIDS, which is an idle stabiliser to help stop that stalling problem some people get with aftermarket blow offs vented to atmosphere when drop off accelerator quickly.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
