Hey every body,

so i have had my R34gtt for just under a year now and ever since i have had it, it has had the TCS fuse out of it. so i fianly thought i wonder what its like to drive with traction. its a Totaly differnt car................................................. boring you could say, but i can see it being good in winter.

so i'm playing around on "private property" and droped the clutch at 5k rpm and stalled the car. Now from what i can see the computer that control's it seems a little too over sensitive.

Has any 1 ever thought of trimming the TCS butterfly so that when it trys to shut down the car it can only shut off say 80-90% of the air flow. that way i could drop the clutch at 4k at the drags and it would take off with out spinning to 7k but not stall either.

my theory is that aslong as the TCS butterfly is creating some form of resistance in the intake it is working, but not quite as much as stock standard.

Now i just wait for some 1 to say dahhhhhhhhhhh try the search butten. (which i did)

regards

Chris

Hey well since no 1 replyed to tell me I'm an Idiot i thought i would have a fiddle. so i removed the traction control butterfly. and ground into the top and bottom about 7 - 8 mm so that it looked like this post-21501-1202477127_thumb.jpg

i was gonna take a picture of it when it was finished but it seems to be awsome currently. i can drop the clutch at any rev and it lets the car spin up to about 3k soo realy for me its perfect revs for launching it. i hope this may help some 1 else out. feels totaly different to drive with TCS on now, more fun but not on edge like when its turned off.

regards

I think you should just turn the traction control off and learn how to drive properly! The TCS on the R34's is really too unsophisticated to be of any use for racing purposes. It is good for when you want to let your girlfreind drive the car when its raining though. Actually it can be quite fun using it in the rain.

hey, yeah i know being a better driver would be even better buttttttttttttttttttttttttt I'm not lol. all i wanted was the the Traction control to be like 80% effective not 100% just enough to get the wheels to squeel but not light up. you can still feel the power dropping off but its got alot more response getting off the mark.

in cartmans words " IN THE GHETTO"

Hello, i took my car to the QUIT MOTORPLEX and did a few runs. it was just way tooo hot realy. but what i found was if dropped the cluth at 3k and then stomped on the throttle i was getting damn good launchs nearly every time. too low and it would bog tooo high and the traction controll would have a fit like normal but 3-3.5krpm seemed good. now i just gotta figure out why it axle tramps sooo bad.

      RB gearbox options

      What makes you say CD009 boxes are not as strong as you would think? I've always been told the last revision (CD00A) is good for 1000whp and I have no issue's believing it when comparing one side by side with an RB25 box. Makes them look tiny.

      I picked up an open Center with shafts. I was told the Open shafts will fit a mechanical LSD and looking at them. I think they will work. Will update

      The manual says a lot about the different ratios requiring different shafts. all the Centers are the same but depending on the ratio, this determines the shafts because different ratios need the center to be offset more or less or right to left.

      those 2 sets of shafts will not interchange and if you’re lucky you haven’t damaged anything with all your pressing and bashing you said you’ve done

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Freshly built stroked RB25/28. Motor runs great but consumes a lot more oil then It should. This summer with the heat I was consuming roughly a quart per 1800-2000kms. Now with the cold weather coming in, I'm consuming a quart per 1000kms which is no bueno. I had originally chalked this out to break in taking a little longer then it should, but I'm now around 4000km's on this engine. I think it's fair to say something isn't quite right. Here's the kicker, can't find what's causing it. I've also spoken to my engine builder and Precision Turbo and can't figure it out. Here's my train of thought on possible causes and what I've done.  Precision Turbo - I originally started thinking my oil pressure might be a tad too high for my 6466 Gen2. I took the center cartridge out, and while yes there's signs of oil on the turbine heatshield, it's very moderate. There's also very minor in/out play that concerns me. I sent pictures and videos to precision and they said the residue and in/out play is minimal and they doubt this is the issue. For piece of mind, I went ahead and installed a Turbosmart OPR V2 to bring oil pressure down. Made no difference. Precision is willing to take it in on RMA for an inspection and I'll probably take them up on that offer for peace of mind. BTW. Is it just me or does the turbines inducer's look clipped and not even between each other? I just noticed this now while posting and looking at the picture zoomed in. Might just be the picture...  Rings - Hot compression test and leak down test look good. Compression is 160 +-2psi across the board. I leak down at 16% on cyl 1,2,3,5,6 and 18% on cyl4. Keep in mind I have a snap on leak down tester and they read high (I.E, 15% on my wifes 2018 Sentra with 70000kms). Sparkplugs show minimal oil (Only #4 seems to have a tad). At a quart per 1000km's though, I would be expecting them to be wet. Here's the kicker, I run WMI. I'm thinking what if my compression rings are great, but I have an oil control ring issue on cyl4 and my WMI is steam cleaning the pistons and sparkplugs? I can still see the "Spool" logo on top of my CP pistons. The only time I see smoke out of the exhaust is in the high rpm/load range. So far, this is my main culprit. I'll probably turn off my WMI and go out with the car at spring pressure tomorrow and repull the plugs. Other thing that's strange though is that I have never seen any oil in my catch can. Thing is still dry after 4000kms. Cyl1 - Left, Cyl6 - Right. Valve seals - They're new and I would expect oil consumption on idle, first cold start or during decel. None of which is happening.  Crankcase pressure - I have 2x 10an valve cover lines to a vented catch can. Head drain and opened up internal oil drain paths. I also don't run E85. I've never seen any oil in my catch can. Doubtful this is causing any issues.  Rear main seal - I have no visible leaks, but figured maybe it was my rear main seal. After now having added 2-3 quarts, I would expect oil to leak out the bottom drain channel and/or my clutch to be slipping.  Let me know your thoughts. With winter coming and taking the car off the road until spring, I'm fine with pulling the motor apart but I would hate to take it all apart and the turbo was the issue in the end.
