paulr33

nah just noticed they are reasonably cheap now so thought why not

find me a cheap r33 R in purple 96 or 97 with xenons, k thx

and yeah BCNR33 powerfc and hand controller with EL organic display brand new is 1097 from nengun so for 2nd hand first gen powerfc i wouldnt be paying 1100

yep it's just a normal powerfc to suit RB26 the Fc pro sticker just means you can connect it to apexi's power excel fc commander sofware (who really cares?) the only way he can prove it is a legit pro version is for him to get a photo of etc, VERSION and get him to show you the photo there is nothing stopping him looking on google to find a pro ETC, VERSION photo so you would never know and could never confirm

no idea but you may find it easier to get the legit part form jap wreckers or something ie you might find you can get the legit OEM part for $50 second hand from wreckers or from someone with ECR33 half cut etc vs making it yourself

everything you need is in the powerfc faq in my signature in summary DATA INIT the Powerfc BEFORE starting the car set injectors, airflow meter and other settings BEFORE starting the car start the car as per powerfc self idle install procedure (in the FAQ) the base maps are loaded when you do a DATA INIT and will be ok to plod around and drive to a workshop given you have non-std injectors DO NOT trash the car plod around like a grandma, make sure you set the injectors properly and get it tuned baby it around until you do. powerfc retains factory VCT (skylines don't have VVT) the t04e is dinosaur ass technololgy. don't even bother ebay it and buy a real turbo

hand controller tuning is fine and has been the std for god knows how long? its only in the last few years workshops have got onto datalogit as mainstream datalogit makes it quicker and easier (less cost) and lets you be a bit more picky but there would be hundreds of well setup quick cars with hand controller tunes go back to the place who tuned it

have you seen the full map to metroid on the nes that is beyond stupidity http://www.nesmaps.com/maps/Metroid/MetroidCompleteMap.html

yeah a heap of it would be auto bots and decepticons but still a truck load of dudes

340,000 hits a month to my site what the

never knew r33 had seat airbags? post a pic

what the? from the seat? do you mean passenger airbag?

computer for the auto spoiler option on the HR32 it had a factory option to adjust the front lip to a different angle at high speeds ie above like 80km/h or something it would adjust to a different angle

post it on one for the sr20 nissan silvia forums, its a s15 spec but which one, dont know

im going with gt28 from sr20 / s15

how on earth do you change r33 parker globe does the whole headlight assy have to come out to change it

all the info i could find points to a GT28R from an sr20 it doesnt look like a 2860 from a GTR twin if thats what your thinking?

tax time soon

no idea, someone on here would know how to use a timing light on RB25 surely it can't be hard ? the timing light will tell you what timing you have at idle it should be 15deg for rb25. so if at idle the timing light tells you any other number than 15, your cas needs to be adjusted

check the basics, check airflow meter, check the plug (common bug on VL which has similar AFM) check fuel, check fuel pump, check for any idiot lights, are you trying to start the car in D?

check it first and let's see what result you get ie no point adjusting it if you see -2 deg maybe you are reading it wrong so post up what you find from the timing light

did you fit it yourself or a workshop - if you, how hard, any mods to make it fit, how long if workshop - how much $ to swap did you send yours away and then get the hiflow back? how long did it take any install instructions come with it

yes common sense prevails here please far too often we see people go get a tune, and any tiny isssue is a mega 6 page thread about the workshop being crap and a rip off before the guy spends 5 minutes talking to the workshop / tuner. please discuss with the workshop and let them address the issues. if you dont want to go back to them, goto another workshop for a 2nd opinion

goto autobarn and buy a timing light thats all you need once engine is warm and running use the timing light (it will come with instructions) to read base timing for rb25 it should be bang on 15deg. if you get any other number, your CAS is offset and must be adjusted when i say offset, as in, it is dialed forward or backward. at idle, the timing is locked so for rb25 it is always 15deg so if your timing light said say 12deg, then this means your entire tune is 3deg off, which means it will be sluggish the ECU assumes your timing is bang on as per the CAS and won't know if its offset (ie backdialed/forward) once you adjust, run a check with timing light and keep going until you get to 15deg at idle
