its a r34 gtt with a r33 gtr head and 3L bottomend.

i left a message on your ans machine and sent a msg to your mobile about my specs trent but here is is again.

rb26/30

gt35r .82

18psi

standard oem cams

standard valve springs

intake port matched and polished to runners

3.5" dump

3.5" straight pipe exhaust

5" cannon

cp pistons

spool rods

9:1 comp

cosmetic head gasket

china brand fmic with 3" intake side pipe 2.5 exhaust side pipe (my guess as to the problem but no proof or expertise to back it up)

Nismo Twinplate Coppermix clutch

splitfire coils

340rwkw

to be honest trent ive called a few shops and like the forums everyone seems to have different opinions as to why it wont make more then 340rwkw regardless of how much boost i dial in.

psi drop on cooler

head flow

valve springs

cams

rather then spending money on things i dont need i would like to get the car tested and what ever it needs, i can replace.

1st post - you wanna just start porting/polishing

By the 4th post you want to actually check whats going wrong... AMEN.

After 12 months of us all (in FI section) telling you to get the current setup checked by a knowlegeable professional, it seems you are finally coming around!

Stop with the "I want to change stuff" and start with the "I need to FIX my current setup first".

We've been telling you for ages to get the cooler pressure drop & valve springs checked... :D

No offence with the above, I'm just totally at a loss as to why you've still not done anything that anyone has recommended for over a year

Trent - before looking much more into it, go over this guys past thread history and have a read of what people have tried to help with so far.

15mins reading will save you hours of rechecking :)

ash i just wanted to talk to someone about my porting and polishing options and wether or not i do really need it. i dont think you can fault me for trying to find out what i should do from a expert. but your right i have taken my time in seeking help but its not easy for us uni students. money isnt that free. although i do want to say sometimes to fix things i do need to change things.

moving forward though as i said id just like to talk to a professional on what the next step should be. Because really if i dont need springs why should i buy them. so i have officialy taken your advice and am seeking out experts to get my setup checked.

ive contacted Rob @ sab automotive, and i wouldnt mind getting trents throughts on things to.

cheers

hmm i will listen to message when i get to work in the morn and check all the threads for things that have been covered. (was offsite all day today, out west actually)

being a 26 head it should be fairly straight forward. Just quickly whats the exhaust cam wheel set too?

im not sure that was ever changed trent as its still running the standard oem rb26 cams.

Put a better quality intercooler in. Drop in some poncams. 360+ kw :D

the problem is that people people have made close to 400kw on standard cams. so really if its possible i dont want to waste my money on cams and lose out on bottom end torque, which is really where i want it all to be.

most likely ill need a 100mm intercooler.

With a 3ltr it will take a bit of cam compared to a 2.6, either way it is NOT the cause of your problems currently.

Depends on what work gets done to the head etc as to what specifically you put in there.

Yes you can play the uni card dude, but you don't build a 400rwkw setup working 4hrs flipping burgers @ maccers :P

You don't need to change anything ATM to fix whatever issues you have, simply because you don't yet know what is wrong.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
