g'day all, well i finelly found a GTR in my price range, in the condition i want and with the mods i want, before plunging in and buying it though there is an issue that i dont know how big or small it is, basicly when you run into boost and rev it out (say up to 6-7 grand) and let of the throttle, the ignition cut's out and wont respond again until the key is turned off and back on, the current owner say's he reinstalled the stock airbox and a set of tomie blow off valves without retuning the car, also it's still running the stock AFM's at around 310 awka.

is this thing a time bomb, or is this a case of a good tune to fix?

the car is running forged internals, a power FC, 2860-5 turbo's on 17.5 psi (owner say's there's also maps for 19 and 14.5 psi) unkown brand 660cc injector's (part number is , splitfire coilpacks,as well as a few others pieces.

310awkw with stock AFMs? Sounds like a hand grenade to me.

Get it checked by a professional.

would it be a case of simply getting some Z32's, or nismo AFM's and getting it tuned to fix the problem, or has the fact it's been run with stock afm's mean the damage is already done?

Yea but what do you mean by the ignition cuts out?

Pfc does not have any sort of protection???

by ignition cuts out i mean the engine will not respond, after letting off the throttle on boost at around 6-7k rpm and try to get back on the throttle theres nothing, all the dash lights, ect still work, indicators, headlights ect, turn the key off, push the clutch in and restart the engine while rolling and it's fine again until you give it another squit into boost and heavy load.

There are "maps"?

Unfortunately no there aren't. The PFC is a single map, it doesnt have dual map.

Either way as others have said, get it checked by a professional.

You are rushing into all of this in the wrong way as per your other thread.

Stop, read, learn - then do.

i dont feel as i'm rushing, i'm looking at car's, reading on here and asking questions, however i find it very difficult to learn by just reading, i cant picture what i'm looking at without actually seeing/touching/feeling it, i much prefer to see what i'm learning about in front of me, i've been lurking on here for a few months but it's only been since i started looking at car's in the flesh that i feel i'm starting to get a bit of an understanding of these beast's.

are the tomei bovs venting to atmo?

yes to atmosphere

and to the above post i havnt actually looked at to many car's, i looked at 3 yestorday, 2 r32's and a stock r33, being as i normaly work 12 hour shift 13 days a fortnight (at this time of year) it's hard to get time to drive to the big smoke to look at car's, i live in gippsland (2 hours east of dandenong)

OK that make it quite a long process,

I'm in perth and I got one from melbourne and one from adelaide, you might not find what your looking for in your town, I found the cost of going interstate was more than offset by the saving on the car.. but it sounds like a time thing a thumbsup.gif

310kw with -5's at 17.5psi..... it should be making more power than that, you would expect 330-350

If there really is a "19 psi map", that means the owner put 350-370kw of power through a pair of stock AFMs that will only support 300-310kw max. Sure you can tune around them slightly, but not that much

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
