so i have a slightly new plan after calling up some tuners and having a chat,

going to run a haltech instead of microtech swap out the manual boost control for an electronic duel stage get the new mafless tune and just got for a single 044 intank fuel pump because i dont really need the full fuel set up for a streeter,

now just need to save the pennies!

figured out one of my AFM's is acting up and thats whats messing with the tune so im just geting another pair to wack in and get the car running mint again for the mean time while i save,

also noticed a bit of oil in the intake piping is there a reason to worry? previously had a catch can set up but removed it

soo has anyone had their wiper washer bottle keep draining in less then a hour and not leak out of the bottle at all, im 99% sure theres no leaks out of the bottle pulled it out and tested it and put it back in and filled it up and can watch the water go down but not not a drop in the engine bay under the reservoir ?? so must have a leak in the line right? but i cant see any drops of water come out under the car so not sure if its worth getting too deep looking for it haha.

i might just do a relocation to the boot like this guy

and run the rear wiper spray to the intercooler with all new lines throughout

so im still chasing this little issue before i take it back for a tune, got some second hand AFMs cleaned them and put them in but still have the same issue, they are a lot closer in volts compared to the last pair so im assuming there good and its something else thats causing the miss when boost comes on around 4k maybe spark plugs?? as coil packs are less then 5000 ks old? will get in there in the next couple of days to have a look in the mean time can anyone think of what else could cause this, also just replaced the TPS

Cant help with the miss, but can offer the following.

When the afms get oily it is because the turbo sucks the blowby out of the cam covers, carrying oil with it. If you follow the breather line from the exhaust cam cover it finishes in the suction side of the rear turbo. There is a restrictor in the hose so the suction isn't too much and no one ever changes it when they put bigger turbos on the car.

The other thing that happens is when oil gets on the afm's they measure high. So you get a rich fuel mixture. What is the afr at 4000 rpm and did it change with the change/cleaning of afm's.

Lastly unless there is oil dripping out of the bovs when you leave the car parked you don't have a problem. Even if it does you may not have a problem.

at 4000 rpm the afms are on 2.0 volts, didnt test what they were on with the old afms because they were reading a difference in voltage even on idle so knew one was bad, and i cleaned these ones before putting them in so dont have a reading from before hand, and now the voltage is much closer only ever out by 0.1 V if that so im assuming these are good, and have never had oil dripping out of the bovs before either,

is there really much point in running a catch can set up or is the factory return set up fine?

just gotta get 1 more afm and am just going to get the issue sorted, swap to z32s and a bigger fuel pump which should get to 400hp which will do for now, but first gotta pay rego in like 2 weeks and im now doing uni so my weekly funds from work have become a lot less so might take a month to get around to everything

yeah just for now because i want to get it running mint so it can at least be driven but will go haltech later once i have the money spare, need to sell one of my other cars

  • 10 months later...

Finally got my car back from my tuner after 7 MONTHS! LMFAO (shouldn't have told him im currently unlicensed and to take his time but on the other hand freed up garage space)

managed to acquire a few parts in this time as well

just put in BC BR Gold coilovers so i finally have some adjustability as well as camber arms all round

swapped out the craft square mirrors for some east bears

finally got some plates to match TKR32 - TommyKaira R32

Apexi exhaust 

R34 GTR Vspec II front seats (yet to go in)

Greddy Front brakes and Greddy 2 peice rotors  (yet to go in)

GFB G-Force II boost controller

Ended up going with a Microtech LT-16cbecause of the price difference and how much easier they are to tune time wise 

Ended up with 400HP at all four which isnt as high as i was after but it is a fairly safe tune with room to tweak with someone who knows GTRs better

Heres some pics with it pretty low and wide since its not getting driven much

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
