Hi,

Im wanting to extract more power out of my GTR 32 by winding the boost up to 1.4bar.

I have heard a lot of different stories about what types of fuel to use at this boost level as pulp cant handle it?? I am currently running 1.2bar on pulp but i have heard stories of tuners not running above 1.1bar on pulp?

I have had a lot of people tell me to tune it with a touline mix of 5-10% per tank??

Also if i get it tuned at this level with touline, can i still run my low boost setting on pulp??

Is anyone running high bost on pulp?? or a mix of some kind?

cheers,

Francisco

I hope your using a competant tuner

You havent provided any info on your engine setup so its hard to comment further, however saying that some tuners wont run more than 1.1 bar on pulp is garbage.

Is your car a street car? then have it tuned for regular readily available 98 ron pump fuel.

also, In don't know how long your stock GTR turbos will last at 1.4 bar. only one way to know for sure though...just pray you don't get the fabled 'ceramic sucked back into engine' syndrome.

yeah sorry, i have group A turbos and forggies etc.... and all the support gear to handle the boost.

Wanted to get some feedback from other peoples setups?? I have just heard differing stories from some people and im not sure what certain people "recommend" is true?

yeah i have it advertised......but enjoying it way to much!! if someone offers me the money i would have to part with it. I really need to buy a house(as everyone selling an 89 model says but i really do). As anyone who has had a GTR engine built knows the pain in $$ and time, having fun enjoying it now.

Back to the topic though??

I'm running 1.4 bar on 98RON fine, has never pinged - just comes down to the ability of your tuner & as I found, your fuel system. I have a similar setup to yours & for the record I have not noticed any difference between Ultimate or Optimax, mine makes within 1hp at the wheels on either. I personally would not touch toluene, that stuff will kill you. With my build, anything over 1.4bar required a higher octane fuel.

My 0.02c is you should use a fuel that is commonly available as your base line. That should be 98 RON for most people on this board. There is no point having your car tuned for some sort of exotic fuel or using an octane booster only to be stuck in the middle of nowhere without access to the fuel or additive with the car pinging its arse off (of course, you could go in a mess with the tables).

    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch 
    • re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
    • Ok now I’m extremely jealous
