Hi guys, just came back from a tune at tilbrooks in adelaide by martin.

Tune was done at 16psi....at first we got 240 rwkw at 18psi but i decided to settle for 235rwkw @ 16psi as martin said r33 conrods and internals will not last too long will too high boost.

Your power curve looks nice and smooth, but your AFR's seem very rough

OK, not picking on the poster of this comment, I have deleted who it was for that reason.

But I am getting very tired of this slavish belief that having a flat A/F ratio trace is somehow a reflection of good tuning. It's NOT, all it indicates is the guy doing the tuning decided on an A/F ratio and then tuned to it. Any idiot can do that.

But (there is always a but) that ASSUMES that the one A/F ratio results in the best power at that rpm. And we all know that is CRAP, 12.X to 1 may well yield more power than 12.Y to 1 at certain rpm points. A GOOD tuner aims for a smooth power curve, not a smooth A/F ratio trace.

I know which I would much rather have.

:) cheers ;)

excellent result from the 2530, thats a great looking curve gotta be happy.

id say hes seeing 16psi by about 3800-3900rpm, as id see ~18+ at 4grand.

Actually, lets do an SK and do some maths :rolleyes: from the looks of the curve, he hits full boost at about ~110km/h. divide by 29 gives us 3793rpm (give or take, assuming 245/45/17) :lol:

saw your car there today by the way :)

Did you flow test your Nismo 555's? and did they all come in at about the same readings?

Nope...I did not flow test them, they came with a flow test report. Average flow was 565. Minimun was about 560 I think.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
