Hi Guys

As above, does the PFC require a retune after an upgraded intercooler is installed ?

Currently putting down 315kw atw in the GTR with stock cooler ATM..or is it worth spending the extra couple hundred $$ for some dyno time ?

Ps, this may have already been answerd in previous threads but couldn't find anything on it.

Cheers

i dont reckon it would be needed

the std GTR core is pretty good kit and an aftermarket one, if anything will only add a little bit better resistant to heat soak if anything

imho retune not needed and your wasting your money on retune

are you trying to gain power by changing the core?

surely better things to spend your $ on to make the car go faster than a different intercooler core

Thanks for the replies guys...

Yeah thats what ive heard..but i guess its pretty much the last thing on the car that hasnt been upgraded ? running 2530's, bigger injectors, fuel pump, clutch etc..motor in the car is also only 20,000 km old (been upgraded with fresh R33 GTR parts and some other goodies)

And plus it worries me on those 40c days having the 20yr old standard cooler there ? and I've heard the standed core runs out of its 'efficiency' range past 300kw ?

cheers

im sure people have gone past 300rwkw with the std core

to confirm and check you need to check the airtemp past the intercooler outlet

i wouldnt expect the core to become magically inefficient at 320rwkw instead of 300rwkw

spend the money on tyres, suspension, reducing weight, better tune, cam gears etc

You could possibly make more power with a retune, but without it you should be fine. You've just increased your heatsoak capacity so on a hot day it should be less likely to ping due to lower intake temps.

I wouldn't bother unless you want to up the boost now that you've installed it.

Yeah not so fussed about upping the boost anymore right now, not to sure how the longevity will be on the standard motor if I started doing that lol..

thanks mate

how often do you get 40 degree days in the blue mountains, maybe a intercooler spray kit might help if those days are few.

Have heard the standard gtr cooler is good till about 400rwkw from memory.

haha last week it was about 40...and its not like i just limit my driving to the blue mountains ;-) Yeah there seems to be these different opinions of what sort of power levels the stock intercoolers

are good for.

I guess with all the rain lately i hardly need a intercooler spray kit..get plenty of spray from the car driving in front of me :-)

Cheers

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
