HDI kit was a snack to install

Hopefully they start selling it with a 10" replacement fan as part of the kit...

Also picked up a turbosmart Kompact recirc bov ,as i suspected the factory one was bleeding (leaking) of boost. now holds but at the cost of noisy flutter.

Haha yeah I used the same BOV made a good performance difference but it does sounds like I have trapped a large pigeon under the hood

Yeh, Have the same problem with my kompact too.. they just don't seem to want to do anything about replacing the spring. Last time I spoke with them they wanted me to send them videos of the noisy flutter at low boost, and it shutting off at high boost so their engineers can 'analyze' and maybe send me out a softer spring!!

It can be managed to a degree by driving in tiptronic.. Still, it get's all the boy racers copping a sqizz :rofl2:

It doesnt suit the vehicles looks.

Intersested to see if GFB have an alternative even a late model GTR version would most likely remedy the problem...

Intrested to hear other owners who have found a better alternative...

I've got a dual port venting to atmosphere.......... love the flutter at low boost and sounds like a bucket of water being thrown at a wall over 7psi HAHA

good thing is though u can chage the spring tention by winding it down but mines on the softest setting......

Yeah I got the GFB Respons, you can adjust it to recirc or atmo and anywhere in between which is good, I set mine to recirc at moment but muck around with it every now and again, would be good with aftermarket ecu so you could tune for atmo better.

But yeah flutter is still pretty strong, if you adjust the spring really soft it helps reduce flutter but feels like it doesn't go quite as good, and it can make the car hesitate a little on and off light throttle, again that could be tuned out with an emanage I reckon.

I can only guess my standard unit was as loose as - the fact it had zero noise at all.

In regards to the emanage ive had a tuff time locating an expert on wiring it in in Adelaide.

The Guru appears to be in Vic. Have considered the drive , same time address the exhaust with the Fabrication Expert. If there is Adelaide option be interest to speak about the installs

Yeah I know mate I was Under the assumption all would know who I was refering to , aswell hoping someone closer to my postcode handy with a bunch of wires & soldiering iron and a finish to closely resemble your craftsmanship.

The trip to Vic is proving a difficult assignment...

If only i had to worry bout myself.

Btw hows the progress going are we nearing a start mate?

Honestly....

Would you touch the GT3082 ive on hand install?

Highmount in front of airbox?

Decided that the time, effort $$$ invested to just have a " proven results highflow" in place and on road is going to be not a great deal less Plus the heading of this blog explains everything...

Emanage is fairly easy to wire in as long as you have a computer pinout diagram , have always done my own computer wiring, emanage , microtec ect . There is also Nathan the auto electrician kicking around adelaide can't remember his business name but I can give you his number , a fair few of the performance workshops use him, top bloke !

I've still got a emanage ultimate kicking round somewhere I thought about putting it on the m35 but not sure i can really be stuffed with too many performance mods on it . Already trying to make 1 house brick something like quick is annoying enough lol

Certainly not attempting any records upgrading and modifying ones car is a personal taste.

For me its the perfect ride to have performance and luxury. Velvet sledge hammer.

Thanks I certainly would appreciate the Auto Sparkys number.

Finally nobody I know ever left a Turbo car stock ...

      I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.

      This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.

      Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
