Hi guys

Is there any point, or need to tune a stock GTR ?

Im fairly sure the car is running rich. I can hear the exhaust popping occasionally (very quietly) when I let my foot off the throttle.

Car is completely stock.

The only thing ive done is remove the boost restrictor from one of the boost solenoid hoses.

What would I need to do? Im considering buying a SAFC-2 perhaps? Do people think its viable to do this, or leave it as is ?

Cheers

Still worth throwing it on the dyno and getting the A/F ratios checked.. and let the experts look at it... for the sake of $100 or so.

I wouldn't bother with a SAFC2, if you're going to spend the money just get a PowerFC - for about $1000 bucks you can get one with a hand controller.

This happens on my (dead stock) R32 GT-R too. I assume the mixture is a little rich. Actually I kind of like the popping :D

Edit: And you can get smallish power and economy improvements with a good tune (for local fuel) even on a fairly stock car.

Got caught out on the freeway from mt colah on the way back to my house

 

:D

 

I really feel like shit

Dont know how much this is going to cost me, and I'm afraid to find out

My poor baby

obviously not insured? ah well just think of the nice new paint job she will have.

the mother-in-law got caught in a hail storm about a month back, hail the size of, well, inbetween a dollar coin and an 20c coin ... dented the car on pretty much every pannel ...

tis a 97 celica ... fun ..

glad my car was in an airport carpark on this day ....

the wife saved somehail and put it in the freezer to show me ! couldnt believe it !

i feel for your poor gtr ... but all will be even better after a pannel beater and a lick of paint ..

Yeh

Sorry guys, im just too scared to go outside and check.

I know there was one dent on the bonnet, but im not sure if the paint has come off it.

You spend 40k on something like this, become flat broke, and now something like this happens.

I'll try those dent repair guys if it doesnt look too bad.

Im so afraid :P

I feel like someones just :kick: :)

You work hard for 4 years and then this

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
