On tuesday picking up my r33 gtst after weeks with the mechanics. Had a turbo upgrade did pump and injectors etc... I have done everything that is possible to make this setup run at its optimum, only thing is that i cant get my power fc tuned for approx 10 days. My question is is it safe to drive with standard computer on 7psi boost till i get it tuned? can i still give it a bit when driving, dont want to run lean...

When I upgraded my turbo, on the stock ECU the motor would ping as it started making boost (because the surge of power was much more sudden I assume, as well as more air at low boost etc etc messing with the maps). I had to knock around 5 degrees out of the base timing to stop the pinging, which made it not real nice to drive, but got me by until I swapped the ECU shortly after.

BUT... you've done the injectors too. Depending on how much bigger your new injectors are, to the best of my very limited knowledge the car will be a pig to drive and will foul plugs in no time. If you give it any stick, it'll piss black smoke out of the exhaust, and your fuel economy will be terrible. If they're a lot bigger, the car probably won't run. You say you have a PFC though, I cbf looking up the exact wording but there is a setting (something like 'Ign Inj Corr' I think) you can adjust to play with your base timing and compensate for injector size. If you absolutely must drive the car, adjust the injector duty cycle down until it runs acceptably (but be careful not to lean it out too much). Keep in mind that you'll need to do this every time you drive the car, as they're reset to zero when you turn the key off.

You could take it for a run and put the PFC into monitor mode (where you can see the readings for rpm, injector duty cycle etc on the screen). After you've given it a strap, press UP on the controller, which will show you the peak values. If the number is higher than, say 30 or 40, back the timing off. The warning light (check engine light flashes ~10 times/sec) doesn't come on until about 60, by which time it's audible.

You should be able to drive it around, but take it easy and keep an eye on it.

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
