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.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
