Well, I have had it in for almost a week now.

Anyone got any hints on what I can do to it before I take it to the tuner.

The whole "It will detonate its ass off" is one big myth.

I put 95 Ron Premium in my car (best we have in Mackay) and run it, and I get 5% knock out of 100% which is most likely just engine movement in the bay.

Anyways, anything I should look at? That is simple? I am a complete noob to tuning and don't want to blow my car up.

I have -

3 Inch Split Stainless Dump and Front pipe all in one (custom by mate)

3 - 4 Inch Through the high flow cat and to the cannon

FMIC

Stainless Steel Pipe to Pod Filter and turbo

Blowoff Valve is plumbed back

Apexi AVCR at 10PSI

Car runs good, but sounds like its running rich as. Not sure though.

dont forget the commander is only picking up what the sensor tells it to

check its working perfectly

not saying its not, but after a hard fang on 98 octane i get anywhere between 10-30 knock on the commander, my knock sensor is working perfectly and my engine is very healthy

food for thought :P

well, I put BP 95 Ron in and it knocked up to about 30%

Then put Shell 95 in and it only knocked to about 10%

Got any hints for a little self very basic tuning?

well... Removed the Blowoff valve return hose and blocked it up, and the car started blowing heaps of black smoke (running mega rich) and then when I put it back on, the car wouldn't rev any higher than 2000 rpm before stalling.

Had to reset the PowerFC and idle tune it again. Car runs fine again.

Can someone explain why it does this, and tell me a work around this blow off valve misshap?

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe

      R34 GTT idle problem

      One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.

      Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The nature of my commute has changed. Way back then it was traffic lights all the way, for ~28km. It sucked. When they finally stitched the expressway together I could do a good 15+km of it at a steady 80-100 with no stopping. That alone has gotten me down to flat 10s. Prior to that it was mid-high 10s. I can't remember the delta that I saw when I got the idle down. It was only ~150 rpm, because the idle speed was never terrible, but for the delta in consumption to be noticeable it would have had to have been at least 0.2-0.3 L/100km - which is not to be sneezed at when it comes for absolute free. It's only about 50L per year, but that's ~$100. A few extra pizzas is always welcome. Note that I have a record of every tank of fuel that has ever gone through my car except for a handful put in by someone else, like my mechanic. I can show you the difference between stock RB20 and tuned RB20, stock RB5Neo and tuned, winter and summer fuel blends, winter and summer fuel blends when the ambient temperature is not appropriate for the blend, working O2 sensor, blown O2 sensor, boosting f**k out of it and frightened to boost it because it is pinging, and so on. OK, I probably can't do all that now with 100% clarity - but at the time when any of those things were in event, you could see it in the records. There's 25+ years of simple tank after tank records, so you have to look for landmarks to work out approximately how old any single record is. What's really important is the meta data and that lives in my head.
