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

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
