Hey,

I have a R32 GTS-T RB20DET and the mods its always had is...

  • High Flow GCG Turbo running 10psi
  • Custom Made 3" SS Mandrel Turboback Exhuast
  • Walbro 500hp pump (installed 2005..... time to retire?)
  • Fuel Pressure Regulator

I had it dyno'd and it made 150rwkw and was told its lean in high revs.

Recently i installed

  • Plazmaman Forward Facing Plenum
  • Plazmaman 2.5" Piping Kit
  • 600x300x75mm Hybrid Intercooler
  • Custom Made Solid G/box mount
  • Cusco Oil Catch Can with appropiate Oil breathers
  • Still Running 10psi

After i did this work i reset the ECU while car was warm and then started it up and revved it right out in each gear straight away (told to do so)

Now when i put my foot down in first gear it sounds like limiter at any revs over 4000rpm and just doesnt pull hard. Then all other gears are fine to flog right out to limiter... unless i am going around a corner, mainly left turns. If going around a left hand corner in second and touch accelerator slightly harder than normal at only around 2500rpm it stutters and doesn't go anywere. This was with a full tank of fuel too

Im just wondering what this could be... Boost doesnt start till 3000rpm and its on full at around 4500rpm. Engine has 150,150,150,145,145,140psi compression, brand new NGK normal spark plugs, serviced with new oil and oil filter and fuel filter 4000km ago.

I'm thinking maybe fuel pump is getting its age on?? How long would it usually last? I have a APEXI Power FC D-Jetro for an rb26dett on its way and i got a field one touch connecter that a mate is modifying so that this ecu suits my car. I also have gtr injectors and am going to get rid of the fuel pressure regulator. Also have custom made 3"-4" ss intake made to delete airflow sensor

If you have any ideas please let me know, at first i thought maybe fuel cut in first gear but now recently its doing it at low revs around corners.

thanks in advance

Your running a stock ECU.

So basically the same as the other 15 threads in the past 4 weeks

Until you get a tune you dont know where your at.

The ECU will be having an absolute FIT at the mod's you've done. Get a proper ECU, tune, dyno session and THEN see if you have problems

Thread over.

see thats what im trying to figure out thinking maybe fuel pump is f**ked.. i wanna have evrything in befor i fork out for a tune.. maybe even coilpacks have shit themselfes.... i was just wondering if anyone has had this happen to them.. cause kinda seems like something is loose as in around corners its not very happy.

As i said i have a d-jetro fc on its way its just there is an 8week wait from japan and nengun just sent an email saying there has been an extra unexpected delay

an safc should have been fitted ages ago. the stock ecu would be having nightmares at this stage, good for you re the powerfc. hope you get it soon

re the coilpacks have you tried siliconing them up, ie hightemp silicone sealant all around each coil pack works wonders. but if you are planning on running 1bar+ then perhaps its best to start saving for the splitfires. but still, silicone costs $10 so that should be the first thing you get ready pre-tune.

with the fuel pump, id say its fine... most likely the stock ecu having a meltdown, but then again its walbro- from allllll Ive heard (hearsay) you cant trust them. bosch 040 for $200 would be worth a go, sell the walbro for some beer money.

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
