Dan,

Unsure about the r34's vct but the R33 turbo vct flicks over at a lower rpm compared to the non turbo. I'd assume this is due to airflow differences, the turbo obviously pushing a lot more air through the motor will benifit from the switch over point being lower than n/a (which it is).

This 'may' give the feeling of an urgency in the top end as torque fades off a tad then vct flicks over and picks up again giving the urgency feel.

Speculation but it kind of makes sense.... ;)

Hey dan,

i got NGK Platinum sparkies in my ride atm( installed 2 months ago), but im not sure what heat rating they are and if there difference from the turbo model skyline. Did a search on teh NGK site but nothink in regards to the RB25DE,Your other post said Heat Rating of 7 is good.

Is it urgent to install new sparkies? If not ill changed down the track.

Edited by shorty_01

I put the 7's in only so I could 100% rule out any issues with the tuning related to them. I didn't want to go through the process to find it was pinging due to too high a heat rating.

Speaking of which I need 7's for my next tune on this car :dry:

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all. 
    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
