Update.

I picked up the car from Racepace today.

Since the first tune on this car back in October 2012 I have changed the exhaust system and now all the standard intake items have been re-installed.

So I asked them to do a re-tune and make it a bit more responsive (existing tune was a track safe tune so was a bit rich).

So we upped the boost from a previous 18/19psi to 19/20psi this time around and also played around with ignition timing etc.

The end result is AWESOME, the way the car drives now is SO much better. It is so much more responsive and so much easier to drive, less labored and more responsive.

The peak power numbers do it no justice, it is all in the torque and power delivery, so much better now.

Old Track Tune: 349.6 rwkw (4th gear)

New Street Tune: 353.4 rwkw (4th gear)

New Street Tune: 359.6 rwkw (5th gear)

Apparently the dyno was hitting some limiter in 4th gear?

Apparently that is why you see the sudden drop at the end of the power curve?

But the 5th gear run allows the run to rev right out?
Can someone explain this to me?

Here are the old and new 4th gear runs overlayed with POWER and TORQUE:

Here is the new 5th gear run with POWER and BOOST:

Here is a photo of the factory BOV's installed.

I am running them as vent to atmosphere for the moment, just until I can source the right BOV return pipe.

Installed a filter just to keep the dust and water out.

Thanks Piggaz,

Good question.

At the end of the day I know there is more that can be done with the current set up, so I will continue to develop it until such point that no more can be done.

When I hit that stage I will then commit to a full rebuild with a forged bottom end.

Next round of mods for the current set up will be...

1) Remove 3" high flow cat and replace with Venom 3.5" in/out 5" body high flow cat

2) Remove Tomei cams and install standard cams

3) Install cam gears

4) Re-tune to suit above changes

I will probably do all this in November / December.

Just got back from Calder Park.

Not sure how I feel? But one thing is for sure, my driving skills are clearly getting worse as I get old.

Anyway, the three runs I did were...

RUN 1: 13.591 @ 119.89mph (2.712 60')

RUN 2: 12.965 @ 114.14mph (2.019 60')

RUN 3: 13.016 @ 116.17mph (2.265 60')

I think the expectations my old R32 GTR set were too high.

In my R32 GTR I ran a 11.573 @ 117.89 mph (1.712 60') with at least 60rwkw less than in my 34 GT-R.

But the 32 was running stock suspension (good squat) and stock 16" wheels with chunky Advan A048R's on the rear - must have made a big difference.

Oh well, it is what it is.

car was clean as last night, job very well done with it...looked a million dollars on the track :thumbsup:
I was a little bummed with the times the car was running, to me it felt like it had a lot more in it,
were you having some issues, or not pushing it hard?

Thanks.

I am not sure what the issue was.

I think a combination of bad driving and maybe clutch?

But he mph was OK, so once I get my driving sorted and maybe a new clutch I should run maybe a high 11.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
