we are usually pretty good but we have tonnes of stuff coming in through estate things so stuff is coming in and out every weekend!

Ahhh yeah that would do it! A lot we had was from the garage when we moved, and stuff I had in my parents garage that when we came up went yeah can clear that out... Had so many boxes unpacked for a couple of years and finally got most of it unpacked and sorted... The joys of having stuff in storage and forgetting what is actually there!!!

Karl at Epic Automotive Concepts. He is a Z32 (among others) owner and quite a good friend of many years. He has recently started a workshop, doesn't have a dyno but he has access to one.

He can offer a complete drive in, drive out service for restorations or modifications of any scale, and has probably the nicest zed in Aus, and probably one of the nicest in the world.

Hi zed started like this:

Honestly you may find sumitomo's somewhat underwhelming...

Well it's as big as I can go without paying big money. I think the 34 gtt is 6pm bigger but really no improvement. The stock stagea brakes are terribly bad. They have 2 pot brakes and the same disc size as an n14 pulsar. The sumitomo are a huge upgrade. With some dba 4000 rotors and some nice pads it will be a massive difference. I know it's not hard core big brake spec but much bigger rotors and calipers than I'm currently using

"it looks very nice and posh Dan"

Some may know the story of when my R34 was sold under duress, that I was told "no more Japanese boy racer cars" which left me with a massive dilemma, basically it had to be German, AWD and fast. Flash forward 4 years and I finally got what I wanted.

I picked Han up in it after work and she said it made her feel sick each time I gave it some throttle.....my job is done.

lol yuppie car, at least it isn't dsg/s-tronic auto whatever.. novelty gets old and boring to drive rather fast..

also make sure you get ecu flash with whichever rip off company, better value for money than usual bolt on upgrades.

Stock as a rock, 0-100 in 5.7 (feels quicker though) APR stage 2 on the books. Should pull a clean 0-100 in 4.5

2nd gear is the impressive one, nice and punchy

you might want to do your homework and read about apr/harding stories ;) should look into BPS tuning as it'll be car specific

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).

      Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
