Hey everyone.

Need some help with my NVCS (nissan variable cam system?)

So my mechanic took my 33 for a spin today (its running an r34 25de), he said due to my check engine light being on the 'vtec' isnt kicking in. is this right or is the sensor broken?

check engine light is on due to the secondary speedo sensor wiring being lose.

I know with my ecu (r34 in stagea) in the nistune there is a setting for minimum speed to enable vct. Oñ the neo pretty sure it was set to 0, but the 33 could be different, so chances are lack of speed input is causing the issue.

AKAIK it just goes of the neutral switch. As long as the car isn't in neutral the VCT will work

Alot of 33's have the Neutral switch bridged out so the car thinks it is constantly in gear. My VCT clicks on and off when the car sits still if you give it a quick stab of throttle

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      @Dose Pipe Sutututu I would argue that >300rwkW inevitably comes only with a raised boost threshold that makes it more likely to get beaten by the family SUV with a 95 speed auto transmission and TD torque. Ditto the traction problems when it finally does come on boost. I used to love my stock turbo. A little flex of the ankle and it made a sweet little whistle and you had torque immediately. It wasn't fast fast, but it was more likely to win the "squirt to make the gap" type races that actually matter for a street car. I think >300 rwkW requires more capacity than an RB25 can offer (again, for street driving). I have enough experience with driving 2JZs in that space to know that they are much easier to pedal around in than a 25. I keep thinking Greg did the right thing putting a V8 is his car. I can't see myself not having a turbo - but I'd really like a big engine torque curve.

      This is kinda how I see it also. Could drill down then into sub tags.

      Let's be honest here @GTSBoy 250kW in a GTS-t would easily get walked by my a family SUV these days. 300kW is the sweet spot, fast enough to keep up with the modern German cars (not from a stand still), fun enough and the motor still can be stock/unopened. Realistically, 400kW is a good number. It's enough to give you cold sweats, still be very street able in terms of the power band (provided you're not an idiot and go single scroll and delete VCT) and only needs a very basic rebuild (or stock if you have a NEO motor). Anything more, it starts to be stupid.

      Deals off now apparently https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-13/honda-and-nissan-say-merger-talks-called-off/104934438 Hopefully Nissan closes up soon and the family X-Trail becomes a classic too!

      The west where I live is swarming with birds, not wrong they are bloody loud. In the meantime, do a DIY killswitch - $5 worth of things from jaycar, easy as too. The west is copping it with car theft lately, especially the big shopping centres.
