Thanks Raj. Can't remember off the top of my head at the moment. I recently bought a daily so we decided to go a little heavier to handle any future upgrades.

I've hit a problem...... my turbo decided to die on me friday morning on the way home from work

First time I've driven the car in a week after going to the creek. Drove the car to work thursday night, no problems. On the way home, roughly 10mins from my house , went to shift in to third, no boost, no power and I could hear a whistling/whining noise

So I eventually got home, let the car cool down, came back out 15mins later and kicked it over

So I had it towed to my mechanics friday night and the plan is to pull the turbo out and send it to GCG and have them open it up and see whats wrong

Hopefully it won't cost an arm and a leg to rebuild it

While the turbo is away we'll throw the clutch in, do a service, timing belt and maybe upgrade the oil pump while we are in there.

Mat and Tim blow gearboxes, I blow turbos :P

  • Like 1

So I'm in 2 minds at the moment as to what to do with the car

1. Rebuild the GTRS. Reasoning behind this is to attend the 32GTR 25th anniversary day/cruise and the SAU trackday later this year. Also put the new clutch in while the turbo is getting rebuilt so I can run it in.

Once these 2 events are over, take the 34 off the road

2. Pull the 34 off the road now, rip the motor out and start the build. Haltech PS2000 ECU, cams, cam gears, upgrade the oil pump, injectors, 6boost, HTA3076r + a few other things

I'm more leaning with option 1 as I'm hanging for these 2 events and there's no way I'll have the motor finished by mid August.

Bloody cars, always break at the worst times

  • 3 weeks later...

Nice car mate, see it heaps around my area :) I recognise the plates

Get rid of the HKS filter, they don't seal properly, I had them on my 32 when I first got it and had dust in the I take tract :(

That sux what happened to the turbo, have you got a quote yet from GCG to repair it ?

Have a look at the Kando TD05H-18or20G as a cheap quick replacement if GCG want to much

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
