Thought id share my experience with the cars ive owned …..

Of course all JDM ;-)

Started off driving in a Corolla AE92 GT-I but hey lets not count that …

So second car that I always wanted was an RNN14 (GTI-R)

Had that for 3 years and was a really good car (bar the clutch)

I took her to a lot of GTI-R meetings in the UK

Having had the GTI-R, I got the 32 GT-R bug, and sorted myself out with one of those, sadly the GTI-R had togo to fund this purchase.

After 2 years with the GTR, (having been using it for an everyday car), I borrowed a recently imported & unregistered EVO 6TME as a courtesy car, whilst some work was done on my GTR. I thought it was really nice to drive and a better "all rounder" esp on british roads than the 32.

So ended up buying it a week later

(The Evo was tuned by Signal Auto, hence why the muffler is on the other side)

The Evo was cool, and I kept that for 18months, but exported the 32 to Sweden…

Always wanted an R34 GT-R and the evo never felt like a GT-R / RB …so had to go back to GT-R ownership

Next came my 1 owner from new (2000), Nismo Omori owned 34

About to be loaded on to the boat in 2007

Changed a few things on her

Alas that is now sold and I move on to the TS 34

Hi sure the GT-R can be viewed here, sold it to sweden in the end

dont need to get my post count up,

just showing you what other nissans i have owned, and seeing as im in a unique position to most, having owned a beautiful R32, and 2 R34 GT-Rs, plus travelled to Japan many a times, having personal trips being shown round tuners such as TOMEI due to work, i thought it would benefit the forum

LOL, wasn't referring to you with the post count bumps!

Some people join up and post the same or similar comment (like "nice car" or "awesome" or "great shots," etc.) in 10 different threads just so they can then send a PM to someone. Then you barely see them post another comment for ages.

Oh, actually, I'd like to see pics of the AE92 Corolla, as an ex-AE94 owner myself!

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
