Pressure tested it today and found a hairline crack about 1/4 inch long on 1 intercooler pipe. Can't put a silicone joiner over it in the interim because whoever made the pipe, squashed that particular piece to an oval shape so it won't seal. Found 2 others leaks, 1 was the idle adjustment screw and the other was the bov but that's out of a factory hole cast into the vavle.

Replaced cracked intercooler pipe, problem is miles better but still exists. Only on boost and only in low boost range. Once it gets 4-5psi in its guts it clears up and revs like normal. Get an occasional backfire as it's trying to build boost.

Car was tuned in Feb and hasn't faulted since, pretty certain leak was a new problem. It reared it's ugly head after having a boost spike of 6-8psi briefly while setting up a boost controller. I'll try some known good condition coil packs.

As in, car was tuned, then you put in a boost controller, and it overbooosted then misfire started.

That's kinda bad.

Yeah it over shot and I backed off as soon as I seen it going past where it should be.

Just pressure tested again and found a line teed off from the boost guage line was leaking slightly. Have fixed that. Went for a drive and hasn't made much difference. Only other leak is out a small hole cast into the bov but that can probably be ruled out if it's always been there.

Car was tuned to 18psi. Ebc is in preparation for another turbo upgrade so I can run a couple boost settings. Everything suggests healthy motor, and tune was very safe as that's what I wanted. Knock never goes any higher than 30 at any given time but is for the most part under 20. Tool it for a high speed run last month and never went above 18 in all gears right up to 6500rpm in 5th

Took cas off, removed cover surrounding plug and sprayed inside as best I could with circuit board and contact cleaner. Reinstalled and set timing. Has now moved the misfire to more than 1 bar of boost and cleared up down low. does this sound like I should replace it?

Did you rest your timing and a small thing but 15 degrees at 650rpm for a gts25t??? That is not the orange line - each line is 10 degrees.

Mind you, I don't think thats the problem but just to be sure.

Isn't it 20 degrees btdc for series 2? I did 15 to begin with and ran like a complete bag of poo, then set it for 20 and was loads better, but not perfect. I'll check tps values again just to be sure and try borrow a working cas to see if that's it

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
