Depends on future plans - if leaving stock then yeah. But really, who the hell on these boards leaves their ride stock?

Good to hear the AFM clean helped! Should also point out - 34 GT's ad GT-T's DO NOT like any form of modifications on factory ECU's - they'll retard the timing and run fat as soon as they detect any increase in airflow. Other than this, splitfire are a damn good way to go regarding coils - spend the money and get the good stuff, you won't be sorry.

Heya, tuning a 34 GT-T can be VERY costly. Make sure you kow where you want to go from DAY ONE - have a rough power figure in mind and aim to work towards it. Re: ECU - for heavy modification, i'd recommend a G4 over a PFC. I've had both and whilst the PFC was ok for light modification, if you're wanting to go over the top, it simply doesn't keep up. Main things to consider before slapping a bigger turbo on and saying done - cooling (GET AN OIL COOLER) fuel and ignition. Splitfire coils, properly gapped plugs, uprated injectors and pump and a pressure regulator are what you need to be thinking about prior to manifold wastegate and intercooler. I built my GT-T over several years, and wasted a lot of money on bad advice from the wrong people. Find someone who you can trust and half the battle is won. Posted a link below to the final build, it makes around 290rkw - doesn't sound like much but with the amount of torque and how light it is, it goes pretty damn hard. http://social.nengun.com/member/ares/my-daily-gtt

Interesting. I actually moved from AFM to MAP which helped air flow as well...

Will disagree - I've seen the results of moving the same setup from a PFC to a Link G4 Plug in. The results were massive. PFC is effectively a factory ECU that's been unlocked, as opposed to the Link, being far more advanced (anti-lag, launch control and all sorts of other goodies) I do agree that a great ECU with a shite tune is never good, however there are limits to what some ECU's can handle.

Nismo MFD doesn't include intake / exhaust temps - only adds the G meter, lap timer and a bigger boost guage

Slip light is to let you know wheel slip has been detected and that traction control has kicked in to correct it. When i changed to an aftermarket ECU the traction control stopped working all together, so i took the bulbs out for both TCS and Slip. If you haven't changed your ECU, you may want to get a diagnostic done to find the fault code and hopefully get it cleared.

Heya, If you have a lil extra to play with check out the Link G4. On it's own it will make a big difference - but then i'm guessing you've got something already

I've been down a long and costly tune with my GT-t. Firstly - decide where you want your car to end up - THIS IS CRITICAL as it will determine not only how much you spend, but more how much you will save by not wasting time with parts that only work for a while... That said, if anyone asks me the single best mechanical performance mod i did to my GT-t; the oil cooler. First track day i took it to temps were hitting 130 - 140 degrees. Trust oil cooler in - they never went above double digits again. Aside from that - don't piss about with rubbish ECU's - just go straight for a G4 Plug in GT-T link. This made a massive difference to the tune, as the previous unit (Power FC) was struggling and surging badly after we threw tomei type b cams into it. Also to note, the ECU is THE most important part in tuning GT-T's; the factory ECU retards timing and generally misbehaves if it detects excessive air flow - so even fitting a cat back or straight through exhaust, will do more harm than good if it isn't tuned in. Aside from that - good fuel system (injectors, regulator, pump) aftermarket coils and CORRECTLY GAPPED plugs are all things to consider. All up, mine made around 290ish kw at the wheels on a dynapack hub dyno... Can't really grumble: http://social.nengun.com/member/ares/my-daily-gtt

Hey mate - How much you looking at spending? I know a really amazing tuner who i've worked with for years who actually has one of those as his daily. i'd be happy to put you in touch with him. Fire me through a PM and I'll give you the details.

Hi all, new to the forum as well. Have two RB's; 2000 ER34 GT-t in bayside blue (TV2) 2000 BNR34 GT-R V-Spec in midnight purple iii (LX0) Selling the GT-t for a steal - was on trademe for ages, but no takers - so the flatmate snaffled it up.

Quick question regarding mounting the digital sensors... Do they need to be mounted in the exact centre of the car - or at least in the exact same spot as the original sensor?
