Ok guys, got a pretty straight forward Q. I have a 34GGT with the emanage/e-01 profec/sqv bov/cat back/front pipe done. But apparently from wat i've been told the reason i cant make it over .97 bar is because there is too much air going into the engine, making the ECU cut or something like that...anyways i was told to get a Z32 air flow meter out of the Nissan Fairlady 300ZX. Is this the only option i have causes its pissing me off that i've spent so much money only to be able to go a bit more over the stock boost.

Also, running on the stock turbo and the stock intercooler wat is a safe level of boost, i was hoping at least 1.3 bar. what do u guys think and am i a **** for being so dam long-winded!

Thanks guys!

Hey man thanks for totally ignore the main Q and straight away jumpin to the last part. So basically the only thing i got outta ur extensive thread was that i'm a dreamer and .97 bar is high...pppffftttt!  

That helps me out alot with my q!

lighten up a bit, he did give you good advice, better than no advice - I can think of two people now who probably wont be too ready to answer any more of your questions.

GroundRun,

obviously off to a bad start here :) and I don't have specific advice on 34's as 33's are my toy, but should be close enough. I found that something that feels like boost cut came on at higher boost/combustion pressures with a normal spark plug gap. I now run 0.8mm gap on standard copper plugs and have no problems. My turbo is a bit different and I now max at 10psi for lots more top end power :), but more lag, than i did with a stock turbo at 14psi(about the limit for the inconel/cermamic turbine on a stockie). I could change this with an aftermarket computer, and may do so eventually.

The problem is the limited spark available which is basically 'blown out' at higher boost/combustion pressures which kills the combustion process with a miss. Discussion has shown that exotic plugs also last shorter periods at higher boost requiring more frequent changes and negating their higher cost/lower change frequency. Coppers cost about $20 for a set at the 7 heat range.

The AFM flows fine for most uses except really high power and that becomes unusable and undrivable on the street so while you have the stock turbo stay at least under 15psi and just take your plug gaps down to 0.8 or even less if the truble still occurs.

Take it easy on the other guys, they have lots of advice but sometimes forget that not everyone knows the fundamentals of skylines immediately they buy one, and plenty of ppl will bull***t you on them due to ignorance. We all know honey catches more flies than vinegar.

:burnout:

Yeah i did get off to a bad start skylinegeoff, but thanks for ur advice. I was told to change the stock turbo in the car by a number of people. All of which said that a larger turbo wouldnt have to go as hard as the stockie to produce the same amount of power. Makes sense.

ps: "We all know honey catches more flies than vinegar" man my mum says that! :D

Anyways to the other people whether its good advice or not, calling a newbie in this forum "a dreamer" when what i posted was a question did really hit off good with me either. There are ways to reply a Q (which was never answered to begin with)without coming off like a "know it all".

My original and main Q was regarding the Z32 air flow meter and if i had any other options to get around this problem. Now if there aren't which i'm guessing cause noone gave me an answer then ok...looks like i'll have to pay the wreckers a visit.

Use the Boost Cut option in the e-manage software to cap the AFM voltage signal so it doesn't hit boost cut.

If you are getting up to 5V you really need to use a Z32 AFM or add the GReddy map sensor.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
