Intro to my c34 stag

Hi all, 

I've been told I should intro myself in the wagoneers section, so here I am :)

Bought my series 2 rs4 about a year ago with 87000kms on the clock, I was skeptical about whether that was genuine but I've found nothing to contradict it so far! I am the first Australian owner as well. 

Since buying I've changed the wheels, chucked in some BC coilovers, put in an alpine head unit, put in a hks intake, and done the boost solenoid ground mod to get around the 2 stage boost system. I've just had a 225lph walbro fuel pump put in but am currently having issues getting the direct wire mod to work for me.

I'm extremely stoked with the car considering this is my second car and the first one I've modded and worked on beyond minor servicing. 

Thanks for the wealth of info you guys have accumulated on this forum, it's been real handy.

Cheers,

From this angle looks very similar to my S1. You have the advantage of being able to easily slot in a Nistune chip so with that and a manual (for now) boost tap you could add a little extra zip...

Ahh they do look similar. I gotta get me a clear indicator and black weather shield above the windows. Looks good. Extra boost is definitely on the agenda and I'll have to look into this nistune chip too! First gotta clear up a misfire that I'm getting and get the timing belt done :( no fun mods for a minute :(

      It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!

      Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months

      That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php

      R34 GTT RB rough idle problem with weird RPM gauge fluctuations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.

      I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
