have been watching this thread for a while just lurking so thought that I should say love the car, always been a fan of the er34 but alas my apprentice mechanic wages prevent this (for now). Anyway hope the tune goes well and you get to your power goal, thanks for the reading material

Cheers man. I appreciate it. I used to spend hours on car sales researching and dreaming and then finally it happened with a bit of help. I hope one day you get yours !

I dont have the new version of the ss2 but if you do one day get a bit bored of it and do want quicker response and a bit more power, im sure stao could easily "up grade it" to the new trim.. for street i dont think itl nessasery

as far as im aware its standard in new ss2(mine doesnt spin for that long :unsure: ) but i could be wrong it maybe just the extra option.. i bought mine as a old stock clearance for a steal about 8 months ago

PS - this could be the "new version" im thinking of http://www.hypergearturbos.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=72&product_id=67

-- man... id love to do an r34 brembo upgrade like the guy on that blog haha to dream! thats a hell of a r34gtt

sickdoeoccm ffndkdlcmwlqpqlwlsksmms!!! Rushed my car to my mechanic late at night. The hose to the heater matrix in the engine bay melted or ripped off. Wtf. Coolant pissing everywhere and falling on the exhaust. It was embarrassing my car was steaming all the way there.

No over heating occurred but it was still embarrassing. Minor issue. Easy fix but wrong timing. And then during the fuss this happened

New items for more flow from just jap are being fitted on as we speak pre tune.

Pretty concerned about sound and legality of cat. I'm still keeping the Nismo muffler. Not a fan of drone or mega loud exhaust off boost at low rpm. Anyone have any experience or advice?

So far I've been told to pop a resonator in between if I hate the noise. Which sounds like a good idea.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
