Im running splitfires with BCPR6ES-11 . Works fine not missing or anything. I've also noticed when i use to run BCPR6ES-0.8 it use to run more rich and i could hear my exhaust pop and stuff... un-tuned as well. I will be geting my tune soon

My current mods are:

Full Turbo Back Exhaust system 3inch

FMIC

POD

Walbro Fuel Pump

Hypergear highflow r33 turbo

5 Puk Button Clutch

Power FC (Not installed yet)

Z32 AFM(Not installed yet)

Im running Splitfire coils and a HKS TwinSpark CDI system. @ 18psi of boost i can run 1 - 1.11mm gap with no missfire.. at 25psi of boost i get a bad missfire that goes away when i go down to 0.9. I havent done back to back tests of the HP difference but its going to be pretty small. For peace of mind, and because its a track car, im just going to stick to buying 0.8mm gapped plugs. there is possibly 10hp per 0.1mm increase in gap size but if you have a missfire your going to lose all of those gains and then some.

@ 10psi with splitfire you will have no dramas at 1.1. When you start running higher boost numbers you need to lower the gap or upgrade your ignition system.

i know the R in the part number means resistor type and non resistor type and i think your supposed to use non resistor in 25s, anyone know if it makes any difference? i have resistor type atm, simply because supershit didnt have anything else.

I was running 1.1 on standard colis with a high flow @ 12-13psi, never had a problem till i messed around with the avcr and accidentally hit 18 psi then it started to break down, bought .8 plugs and have not gone back.

Any one tried the spark plugs in the pics below?

Hi thought I would put in my 2 cents worth. This is my experiance and what I was told. A colder plug has a colder spark and producers less power, however it is more conductive and therefore will ignite under more pressure. A hotter plug has a hotter spark, producers more power but is less conductive, therefore wont ignite under higher pressure. A bigger gap provides a bigger spark, which ignites the fuel better and producess more power. However a bigger gap is less likely to ignite under a higher pressure. For example, someone befor said that they put in a spark plug that was running realy smooth at idle and in the lower rev range, but was missing up high. I would say that they have a spark plug that is too hot. Ignite the spark really well with less pressure and will run better than the other plug but wont ignite as well under pressure. Therefore misses up high. Thats why alot of people with close the gap to make it easyer for the spark to ignite. I run an 8 in heat range with a 1.1 gap. When I put in a 7 with a gap of 1.1 I get better fuel economy (almost an extra 100km to the tank) and more response down low. But when I put my foot down and boost gets over 12psi it will start to miss. So the trick is to get the right heat range with the right gap for each plug. I use NGK plug and I use the V-groove. I also use the copper plugs too, I tried the iridium plug but couldn't get them to work for me. I even sent my plugs to melbourne for one of there enginers to tell me what to run, but I went back to what my tuning shop told me to run.

Now I am not saying that I am right, this is just what I was told, and I thought I would add it as I thought it might give people enough of an idea on how to experiment with ther plugs and there gap and there heat range. Anyway hope this helps someone out there.

i guess with 1.1 it will help out with fuel and have a better spark to burn it all , car seems to run fine and will test to see how the fuel usage will be in few weeks,

i thought that it would not run 1.1 gap as others have mentioned but clearly few people run 1.1 and its fine with upgraded coils or stock ones that are in good condition.

With a little over 300rwkw mine has no issues with fuel economy.

11L/100km.

Injectors are clean, zero vac leaks, new o2 sensor, new afm, std air box with 100mm cai in to the bumper and a good tune.

It hasn't always been that way.. Fuel economy dropped to 14-15L/100km when the injectors clagged up and were dirty. Replace injectors and o2 sensor rough injector trim in the pfc as the injectors were larger and economy went to 12l/100, tune with new afm and 11l/100 driving to and from work in light traffic.

--

My 300+ thousand km coils were arcing all over the place and breaking down with anything more than 10-11psi.

Ripped out the old grey sensor safe silicon coated them all up (inbetween the bracket and every little cranny), up to 24psi and no break down. Spark plugs are gapped to 0.8. The tune had them gapped to 0.6 for good measure but I've since pulled them and regapped out of curiosity but all is good.

well mr rogue thats some impressive economy results! who tuned your car? and what engine managment are you using?

Its probably more to do with a controlled right foot than anything else.

I can get over 550-600km's to a tank on the FWY, and 400-450km's to a tank around town and im @ 280rwkw at the moment.

And there are two things which are hurting my economy...

1. AFM reading thats all over the place at any given moment (due to loom issue)

2. Diff gearing... 100km/h im almost on 3000rpm

So i dont think its uncommon... the urge to hit boost is just strong in some people :P

For some its not just an urge, its an addiction :P

I have not done a freeway run since my car has been retuned but now im making 210rwkw and with the retune i get around 15ltrs\100k's around town with a fair bit of spirited driving, before the tune i could only get that figure if i mostly babied it.

Exactly it...

Right foot and a car that is in good nick as well as tuned nicely.

I change gear at 2000-2500rpm with larger throttle openings. The car runs 15:1 afr's until it starts to make boost so even at those larger throttle openings its still running leaner afr's.

I found the std PFC tune to drop the afrs in to the 12-13's as soon as the throttle was cracked open any decent amount once its out of the o2 trim capabilities.

2-2.5k it has zero issues accelerating at the traffics normal pace. Keep revs low. Don't hold gears out with super light throttle as higher rpm and less throttle input = increased pumping losses and lowered DCR (dynamic comp ratio) so decreased effiency and torque as a result.

Revs low and more throttle with a tune to suit.

    • I know this is an old thread but I have a particular attachment to the ENR34, so I don't think additional content hurts. For starters, I agree with everyone here in that the performance of a stock R34 GTR is a pretty low bar and one that you're going to spend a lot of money "matching". Now if you're willing to deviate from that template as your goal, you'll be much better off and enjoy the car much more. The engine in the NA R34s is a real kick in the nuts in terms of upgradability compared to previous generation NA cars. The NA heads on the RB2X NEOs have MUCH smaller intake port cross sections and are not compatible with any of the aftermarket forward-facing manifolds available for the RB25DET. This can be remedied with a RB25DET NEO head, but those are expensive relative to what they are. A full long-block from a turbo AWD Stagea is generally a better value and will run you about $4000 USD to get it to you. This will get you the stronger RB26DETT rods, as well. That would give you a base to build off of to be safe in the 400whp range. Not shooting for the moon, but if the stock R34 was your bar, this engine would buy you enough to be just North of stock GTR power. A forward facing manifold would allow for the easiest method toward using Bosch EV14 format injectors such as those from Injector Dynamics and FIC, to name a couple. People hate them because they're copies, but Greddy fakes can be had for around $300 USD. With what the fuel rail, regulator, injectors, and the rail adds, figure $2000 USD for the whole setup including the manifold. With the OEM brackets and a bit of trimming to the ends of the lower frame rails, the OEM intercooler mounting brackets can be used to mount an OEM GTR intercooler, or an aftermarket one made for a GTR. Those are handy vs a universale due to the angles that the end tanks have on them. Then your plumbing become super straightforward at that point despite having to cut a hole where the battery is an a matching one on the other side for the pipes. Battery can go to the trunk. I'd round up to a healthy $2000 USD here too (maybe even a tiny more) to allow for a nice aftermarket unit and some pipe fabrication. Or if you can find someone that's upgrading to something larger, the used market comes in clutch here for a decent savings. I won't even get into turbo sizing as that's something that would be for yourself to determine. HOWEVER, for the purposes of your stated goals, a Borg Warner 7064 with an internal wastegate would be a perfect spooler and would make stock GTR power easily. It would also bolt up to your OEM manifold (that would come with the DET you purchased a couple steps above) if it were ordered with a T3 flange. More with adequate fuel. If you can stick with the OEM exhaust manifold then expect to be in the whole about $6000 USD for decent turbo like the one suggested, a down pipe, new O2, and full exhaust to mate up, and upgrades to the integrated BOV in an EFR or a standalone BOV for a different turbo, as well as an aftermarket IWG (internal waste gate). Those last two are definitely optional and unnecessary. All of this stuff above does you no good without any way of tuning and or monitoring the engine. Bite the bullet on a standalone engine management solution. If your experience with wiring is limited, you're going to have to hand it off to someone else, though. Unfortunately, the adapter/patch harnesses available are typically made around the GTT which does not include AWD, and the GTR, which integrates into a lot of chassis features that aren't present in your wiring interface. So the ENR34 is the oddball. So you'll want to expand a bit on your selection and find an ECU that's capable of running the ATTESA pump also. I have a Link Thunder, but you don't need quite that much ECU to accommodate that. You WILL need someone with the know-how to tune it and code those features into whatever software it uses. And to wire it up. This will be your most significant expense. Call it $6000 USD with an ECU, an okay wiring job (no motorsport grade at this price), aftermarket triggers and R35 coils, and the time it takes to tune the ECU with added features (electronic boost control solenoid, MAP, IAT, the new triggers, and ATTESA) and don't be surprised if it's more if you want better work done. Grab a clutch made for any RB pull transmission R32/R33GTR made for the power handling capacity you're looking for. Budget $1500 USD for a new good one. That's about $20,000 USD for an engine you've upgraded yourself and had wired and tuned by someone else. That's no brakes (ENR34 brakes are pathetic), suspension (again, pathetic), or wheels and tires. So you're pretty spot on in terms of spending $30,000 USD extra on the car just to get it to perform a little better than a stock R34 GTR while looking like a bone stock ENR34 with some wheels and suspension mods. That doesn't include fluids, maintenance items, gaskets/seals, repairs needed or anything else discovered along the way. But you'll have a car you can take to the track and have fun without worrying as much about nicks and dings.  
    • Okay so, please read this. car started and ran fine. got my tuned ecu by RSenthalpy, did a bunch of pulls to test it out and finally drive the car after half a year of it just sitting and idling at most. Everything was good, thing ran flawlessly and had so much power, didn't feel slower than a Prius anymore. Parked it back and turned it off.  Next day, I install an AFR and start the car. Didn't wire anything to the ecu. Just gauge.  Car started, but died out in about a minute. I figured it was cause my car was on a lift and the fuel was really low and old. I add 5 gallons of fuel, still cranks but no start. I remove all AFR wiring (tapped into double din acc and power wires but there was a nest of wiring there so I was worried I messed something up. tried to put it back to how it was prior to afr install.) Still cranks no start. Changed spark plugs with brand new ones Changed fuel pump with a new one (verified working) Did compression test , compression came back all at 150ish. All fuses are good, Relay seemed good but ill double check by switching similar relays around. Verified MAF is working - Ended up getting curious as to why fuel pump is not priming when ignition is on, so I cut the fuel pump ground and power and connected them directly to a portable jumper. I also disconnected fuel line to fuel rail to verify fuel is being sent. So with direct jumper power, the fuel pump turns on and shot gas everywhere through the fuel pipe that I had disconnected, so ny doing that, I verified no clogs in fuel lines or filter. - Tried starting the car with that jumper directly wired to power and ground, but car still did not start. I'm guessing its a CAS issue but im a little scared to check it without messing up timing or anything else since I actually dont understand how to check CAS lol. If anyone has any other suggestions or recommendations , please let me know.
    • Hi all. I am aware there is lots of discussions about jacking points, where to lift the car and what not. But as usual just a lot of "in my opinion" and nothing definitive, and everyone does it in a different way. I want to hear from some experienced people on which points on the car it's okay/safe/recommended to lift the car using a four point hoist/lift. I will attach some images of my underbody. Sills are largely okayish, the driver side jacking point is pretty mangled though and it looks like the underfloor is slightly pushed in too, but I might be wrong. In the German Skyline forum, the consensus is to use the sidemember chassis rails in the front and the rear subframe? bushing in the rear. I know the manual says to never use the sidemember for loading but lots of folk do it and it was definitely done on my car too as they are slightly bent too. Based on the images, what points do I use to not make the already present damage worse? I'd use wood or rubber blocks to spread the load across a bigger area of course.

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
