New r34 gtt NEO owner

Hey people, new 34 gtt neo owner here, been on the site here for a while finding tips for my car and finally decided to join up. My car is a stock R34Gt-t RB26 NEO and she hates me haha. Had alot of problems since I bought her unfortunately and all i want is for her to run smooth. Shes gota power fc with the steel bearing turbo, tuned at 15psi but has probs with a power cut (i think) on WOT boost. Felt like she wasnt breathing right so disconnected catch can and she was great.. albeit illegal... so thats just the tip of the iceberg lol. See you in the forums!!!

Hey mate, welcome.

If you've got a GTT you have an RB25, not RB26. Just fyi. (probably just a typo :P )

Also, you say it's stock but it's running 15psi? That's too high buddy and is also likely a cause of some problems pending the tune. Turn it down to 10-12psi before you pop your snail!

It's also very strange that disconnecting your catch can would help with the issue you described. You've gotta be careful with your plumbing with stuff like that too, but you say it's running right now so I'll take your word for it.

Throw up some pictures so we can see what you're working with. :)

Yea my bad rb25 neo (typo) but 15 is ok. Mechanic had a look and said its highflowed... my mistake i shouldve mentioned that. 

 

But as for the catch can.. the problem was it was shooting black smoke and sometimes white (both on boost and idol) was repaired by the mech but kept happening.. he checked everything. All seal.. patched up 7 vac/boost leaks and reset to factory the power fc and completely new tune. Had a hunting issue before but its not soo bad now on idol. I find it weird to be running without the catch hoses connected but it seems to like it :/ if i connect it up it feels like its not getting enough breathing room. Will grab a pic up tomorrow, if there was a way for vids id do that

I played with the catch can a while back, with the air filter on the tip it hunted and farted and didn't like it, with the filter removed and blocked and it idled and drive like a gem, since then I have removed it all together and just have it plumes back to the intake and it's faultless, oh and tracked every month with no concern.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
