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.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
