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

    • Yea my thought was tighter engine when hot is more load a poor ground connection can't take. On that note, I had time to check my driveshaft verical alignment tonight, it's +2 and -2 at either end, so thats perfect and how I had set it up last year. What would be the easiest way to check horizontal alignment between my diff and transmission? I can think of a few ways but they're all complicated and I feel like I'm overthinking it. I'm hoping it's that as I can't see any other reason why I have developed driveline vibration since I put the motor back in. 
    • Thank god. I thought I was the only one, nobody seems to mention this (cause nobody really goes this far in Sedan land). The car's track is 10mm wider at the rear, which explains why the rears sit a little further out for the same size wheels. There's not really many options in widebody land for sedans anyway - People will just use whatever came out of the box and then buy wheels/spacers to suit. To get it perfect you'll likely need custom wheels with custom offsets if you really want to get it perfect which is what I plan to do, but I also plan to utilize more of the inboard space for tyres at the rear... which is also something nobody ever seems to do.... OR my maths have failed me after 20,000 attempts and I'm about to make huge mistakes. 
    • What colour is that?  A mate of mine went red/black on his SLR5000 tribute recently also.  And yes, also glad to see this still progressing albeit slowly. 
    • found a company that makes a flat gauge face 3-d printed mounting base kit to eliminate the dished style gauges. if anyone else is looking to do the same https://www.dashfreaks.de/shop/flat-dials-holder-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-gtt/    
    • I installed my link ecu shortly after. But car ran fine with stock ecu and r35 coils, just had the traction control and slip lights on.
