also something else to note....it only hapened after i started redlining the car...up until then it hadn't been past about 4500-5000...could this have something to do with it. reset the ecu (disconnected the battery yeah?) and took it for a drive...nothing different really i don't think (problem still there)

i'm over near malvern and camberwell...but i don't mind taking it for a bit of a drive...i think it needs a general tune aswell as the discs machined o2 changed and the boost issue....so up 2 u if u think u can help...w/e are better though coz i'm doing yr 12

i got my o2 sensor changed at ultratune, cost $60 as i didnt have the sensor removal tool so it was mega hard to get to, they wired it up correctly too. the other problem just sounds like the bleed valve (if you have one) is too high and the stock ecu is retarding the timing or doing a fuel cut. i can have a quick look and get u to take us for a drive in it if you like to try and diag it, i am no means an expert but i cant hurt. your call pm me if you want

yeah no probs. just let me know when you wanan do it. ultratune may be able to machine the discs. i know marlows can do it (they did my old vl) and most normal auto mechanics can do discs. theres nothing too specific about the skyline disc brakes so any auto place can do it

Hey mate i had the same problem, basically its wat had been just before by Paulr33.  Your car is retarding the timing and therefore you feel that flat power band during the rev range at around about 4,500 to about 5,800 than it pulls like a rocket again.  Well Basically its your shitty bleed valve this was the problem for me i had a turbo smart bleed valve and it would spike to 15psi no matter what the setting.  My car was making 217.5 rwkws at 11 psi but the power curve was to the shit house, and basically a r33 with say 170rwkws would have eatten me for breakkie.  I had the GCG hi flow  but all the same the problem your having is to do with the boost spiking.  And in my opinion get an electronic boost controller if you can afford it and maybe a dyno run just to make sure thats the problem.  Does you car pull really hard from like 6,000 to redline?

drewecrome, you pointed out my problem exactly! I have an R34 GTT tiptronic & it's got a Blitz 2 stage (adjustable) boost controller. If I run high boost, the thing flies off the line, then retards then goes, then retards and then around 150-160kms goes hard again. There's about 3 stages of torque increase & fade. I assumed it was the engine starving for fuel due to the fuel pump. Sounds like the stocker ECU is the problem.

What's the best way to overcome this? Do I changed the ECU, add a piggy back computer or get a rising rate fuel reg or another fuel pump?

I'm worried that if I get another ECU, no one will know how to map/tune it properly (ie with WOLF 3D system, I've heard people in Vic hate them, but the prob is that no one knows them well enough here in Vic to set them up).

Another qn...

As far as mods, my engine (I believe) is stock, but car has FMIC, boost controller, BOV, 3.5" exhaust, Nismo sports muffler (strangely with sport/silencing switch).

I have a couple of Defi A-Pillar recordable gauges, but the last owner ripped (yes ripped) the wire out & I hear it is a messy job to reconnect, so I don't know how much boost I am running as they are disconnected.

What's the next step to getting better performance? I don't want to go too far over the top as I don't wanna blow sh!t up.

Thanx in advance,

Mean_R34.

ok, I too have now all of a sudden developed this problem. I have a remapped ecu with a HKS FCon V piggy back ecu (map sensor model), its real weird, it use to fry the tyres now the power feels like its panning. I thought my timing belt might have jumped a tooth. Is this possible? Does anyone know if fcon v still run off the knock sensors? I think it might be time i went to a power FC, something someone can actually tune and i can see whats going on.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      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.
