I just got a 33.. but because performance. The chassis is better than all the other skylines. the R33 GTR is actually the fastest skyline around the ring.. by 21 secs from R32.. and 28 secs from R34.. 
 


R33 gtr 28 seconds faster around the ring than an R34? Where did you get this information from that doesn't sound right.

From the track books? R34 GTR Nur edition ran 8:28 seconds around the ring.. the R32 ran 8:21 secs. The standard are R33 ran 8:01 while the Vspec model ran 7:59 (29 seconds faster). First R35 ran 7:43 with all that new technology, better tyres, double the power just about and 10 years development from the last 33.. Pretty poor effort. 33 remains fastest skyline around the ring and currently holds the fastest drag record too of 7.10 sec 1/4 from a gtst haha

Just seems strange the R34 GTR isn't faster or at least the same as the R33 around the ring. You would think they are nearly identical with the R34 being slightly improved. But yeah after some quick googling the times you posted are right, but i still reckon that the R33 must have had different tyres, running more boost or better driver. 29 seconds is a huge gap.

The r33 was raced.. the r34 was literally a playstation car. Massive improvements made of the 32 because it was still heavily into motorsport whereas the r34 was not. Wasnt at lemans and the only place it did see the track was JGTC.. where it wasnt really a gtr anyway.. I guess they didnt see it needed improvements. As for tyres, they were on OEM tyres and newer tyres just keep getting better and better so the R34 wouldve had better tyres. As i was saying, ill never understand the price tag on the shittest GTR ever built..

Looks play a big part, but the R34 isn't that big of an upgrade, besides maybe aero. R33 is miles ahead of R32 though.

Going slower isnt an upgrade at all. Its a downgrade. The R34 is a literal downgrade to a 33. 

 

But Paul walker, F&F cult hero status is probably the best answer to why its so expensive.

I'd argue that there is more to cars than how fast they go. I don't think anyone will disagree when I say the 34 interior is miles better than the 33.

And yeah, fast and the furious has a lot to answer for now I can't afford a Supra and a GTR!!!

Yeah even i wouldnt disagree on that.. that interior is just.. over the top with awesome hahaha still.. worth the extra 70k over a 33? nah.. i dont think it is haha

      @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.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
