What do you think you'd need to make over 250 safe on 98? V Pro and cable throttle?

Why would you need a cable throttle?

A "safe" 250 can be done on 98 with highflow, intake, intercooler, exhaust, injectors, pump and a eManage Ultimate

I don't think the emanage is reliable above 250, the timing doesn't hold steady at all with the stock ecu still in charge causing pinking occasionally. With ethanol it won't obviously, that's why I run it now.

He was because he wanted better response and the eManage can't get around the ecu f**king with the throttle.

Hence the thought to remove the FBW throttle body, leave the ECU in limp and control it all with the eManage.

To much of a f**k around, hence the change to the Fcon V-Pro.

At least, that's my understanding (or lack thereof)

Interesting.

Has Craig found this to be an issue?

Of course, but his went rich also.

There is a noticeable timing change on high boost at different times without additives.......advance/retard under hard acceleration ........but then again I still have to go back on the dyno as I have changed a couple of things since the tune.

as far as being safe......motor doesn't sound or feel stressed so yeh it's safe....but I only run 15-16psi most of the time!.....If I am running 20PSI I now run Octane boost in it and all seems good.

P.S. And yes my car does run rich!

Advanced timing is ok if its run rich, that's how the Japanese tunes run most of the time. As long as theres no knock you're fine. The hassle is you need to run a buffer of a few degrees at least as the stock ecu changes constantly. That's why I'm going standalone.

I'm looking at getting my exhaust done next week. Is it advisable to get the suction pipe done at the same time or should I wait until I have the Fcon IS installed?

As you can tell I know nothing about mechanics.

Wait. Without some method of tuning, it will run like crap (in a bad way, lol).

Only if you floor it a lot.

I've been running the suction pipe with stock ecu/injectors/pump for... erm... a while.

Unless I put my foot to the floor, it runs very nicely.

1/2 to 2/3 throttle is fine on my car

Impressive. That's different to my (short) experience so far. Mine only ran "ok" for the first drive on a cool night, with very minor AFM adjustments. Since then (in warmer daytime running) I've had to baby it whilst slowly making changes to the tune. Just haven't had enough time to get on top of it as yet.

Going by my almost useless "memory", your AFM is on the verge of a bend though, yes? Could this be the issue?

The air is more dense on the outside of the bend and gets more so the faster it flows, it makes it very hard to tune around, even with an emanage...

It certainly could be an issue. If it turns out to be "untunable", I will put the standard one back on. Other than an extra little hole in the airbox (which is easily patched) I made sure I didn't mod any other OEM part.

And if it does turn out to be untunable, I might be tempted to ask "why didn't someone mention this before" lol.

Mmmm, if I give it some more thought I might be able to block off the AFM hole & move the little housing thingy down the intake to a straighter bit.

Anyway, I have about 200 voltage load points I can set (either up or down) so I reckon I have a fair to reasonble shot at getting it right. It could just take a whole lot of time....

I did warn you. :)

Haha, I don't remember. But I'm not sunk, just some work to do to tune it. Anyway, nothings lost. All this stuff is just a bit of fun (challenge?) for me. Works / doesn't work - either way no big deal :)

    • 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.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
