Yeah had it running off the actuator and made 5 psi fine and spiked to 7 sometimes which i dont really care too much about, but it still felt slow. like it still makes boost and you can hear the turbo spooling but doesn't do much with it.

Its a stock skyline. U might be expecting too much :)

Get it on a dyno then u will know if it is making the correct power.

Yeah that is what i was kind of starting to think, but it feels slower than my mates old stockish 32 with an rb20det not a 25. its definitely not slow up top is just majorly lacking in midrange torque

Nah wasn't just going up windy point rd or whatever its called in 3rd.

Ok so took the exhaust off and went for a drive. No difference just made more boost (running off gate spring). still sluggish between 3-5000

Should probably post more about the drive with no exhaust. when boost builds the car just gets very loud and droney but once it is past the flat spot it sounds quite normal like it should. can't tell change in sound with exhaust on since quiet exhaust. So probably the timing is just hella retarded I'll hook up a timing light when I get the chance.

been a while since I posted here but I finally hooked up a timing light, set it at 15 deg, drove it, made it worse so assumed it was reading double, then tried to do it again but now it wont idle properly, like it will jump between 600-1000 rpm so i can't get a good reading for the timing. turning the screw on the AAC valve does nothing. also if i take the filter off the AFM (AFM still on car tho) it gets a lot worse, like idle drops and eventually stalls. also I connected up the VCT and that did nothing.

Ok so after doing a bit of research I found that I may not have the standard rb25det injectors.

Am I correct to believe that the standard RB25DET injectors are purple?

The plenum on the engine does not have the little nipple on the back of the plenum for the stock boost gage so I believe it may be from a non turbo rb25. (the plenum came off a different engine to the one it is on now)

The injectors on the engine now are red, As said before, am using rb25det computer so I doubt the car would run if non turbo rb25 injectors were used.

Help would be great guys

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
