He didn't find my still-continuing bubbling noise on boost, so it wouldn't suprise me if there's more problems.
I haven't regapped the plugs yet, that's booked in for tomorrow garage-ala-kym! I'll see what the plugs look like too.. maybe they need replacing. If that doesn't work I'll pick up some injector cleaner too
I'm still on standard boost by the way, haven't had any higher than 7psi *sniff*sniff*
Thx for the advice mate

Guys,
I thought i'd run it by you all first. As of about 2 days ago my car started making funny noises/jolts when on boost.
Intermittantly, over about 4000rpm with foot on the go-fast pedal, the car would cough and splutter at various points in the rev range up until redline
almost like it's running out of fuel then finding it again. all intermittantly.....
do the symptoms described sound serious ? what could they be ?
TIA.
-Kym.
Hmmm. Sounds odd. Speak to g0df4ther, he is thru famous, i forget how old he is.
I am also through famous, but I'm 20 (but still a 16yr old at heart)
Good luck mate.
Burnt: you could say that. All i wanted was the Psssht really loud...
Then I bought my car with a blitz already on it I thought it was the bee's knee's till it started stalling..... bah! nearly f*cked it off altogether before i found a solution... tighten it up to the max, and use the stocker aswell. DONE.
It's not very loud now, but still audible
I'd just say sorry mate, your not driving my car. It's not insured for you to drive it. *in your face!*
We all know their eyes light up when they see a performance car come through the pits :|
easy. you remove the show-off-valve... they're nothing but problems. and when the rice-value novelty dies off you'll wonder why you bought it in the first place.
I have a Blitz BOV ($749 from UAS IIRC)
VERY loud when your venting a whole 7psi boost! However causes bad stalling problems and what not, it's quite a pain in the ass. I adjusted mine to only vent on HIGH boost, and hooked up the stocker BOV too, no more stalling AND i get a decent sound.
So in summary: Very loud, but lots of stall probs.
Don't know if blitz make an adapter for the R33 as mine is on a custom pipe to the IC
drag meet ?
early next year for me... then i'm saving like a bitch for tax-time. then it's whoa nelly for $4k+ of mods to go on the beast!!
FMIC, EBC, Fuel system, Dump, Cat, im aiming for that low 13s pass!
Ahhh, Busselton in summer
Hot chicks in white bikini's on the beach is all I think of when someone says "busseeellttooon" *sigh*
Which kinda reminds me of a really good idea: A busselton run down south for the day would be a good outing for SAU methinks.
I heard about the success of the last overnight busselton/stay thing, sounded really fun
I dunno, how about it guys ? who's up for an event like this ? while the weather is nice
-Kym.
*hands up here too* I'm a chequebook racer.. no wait, i'm a credit card racer.
I don't know THAT much about my car, so I'll pay someone else to fix/make something for me....
Everyone should leave Mario alone. good on him for spending the hard-earned jack on such a great car!
look at all these people with mods tho.... hicks is pulling 13.7 (BEST)
and he's got 14psi, POD, full zorst, FMIC.. all that...
if you can pull a high 13 stock, why spend $2500 on those mods ?
hence my theory of not getting a stocker in the 13s....
I find it hard to believe even a high 13 out of a stocker..
mine has a full exhaust ('cept the dump) with some nice suspension mods, i get 2.25 60' times.... (235 tyres) and I only managed a 14.86 BEST.
with a POD, and boost to 10psi I think a high 13 would be possible. but not stock. I'd like to see someone's timeslip for a STOCKER!?!?!
I'm with you GTST4G - Same thing as building a house.
Congrats on the times Mario!
Should be even better when that GeForce box is in right ? 8.7 maybe ?
Here's hoping.
-Kym.
