Fuel pump should be good as its brand new, was changed when it was first tuned. But i still have the standard so i might try it.

Fuel filter was changed a few days before tune was done. The thing with the AFR's is that when they tune it on the dyno, AFR's are about 12's, seen the graphs myself. both tuners would never let a car go with AFR's around 14's which is what was found a few eeks after the first tune. there's nothing aggressive about the timing, and with a knock reading of 103, the amount of timing that needs to be pulled out will leave me with virtually none left.

farkin feels like it!

Yes injector duty is increasing each time they play with it, so far its been as high as 96% Afm is clean, as for voltage not too sure but the tuner check it aswell. Standard airbox with k&n filter, no oil, i did have a pod in there the first time it was tuned though. There is a new fuel filter in there aswell. Will try a fuel pressure gauge to see what the regulater is doing as this is the only thing i can think of thats left that affects fuel.

R33 s2, basic mods, FMIC, coils, exhaust, fuel pump, PFC new spark plugs fuel filter and oil change as requested by the tuner i think thats it, anyway, got the PFC put in and tuned, made good power around 197-200rwkw, nothing extraordinary, a few days later car starts to hesitate abit and noticed a knock reading of 75 at about 160kms full throttle in 4th, backed off and rang the tuner. Very reputable tuner too. Car has duel stage boost contrller, low boost is on 8psi and high set on 12psi, knocking only happens on high boost. Took it in, found an air leak and also found my cat contverter was only 2 1/2inch, so tuner said fix these little problems (got 3 inch hi flow cat and fitted and fixed air leak), still problem was there and getting worse, It was happening when boost was around 0-5psi really hesitated and jerking around and now knocking in 3rd once past 5000rpm. Rang tuner but tuner too busy, waiting, waiting, waiting, tuner never rings back after several messages and after a few weeks of being away for work got back and just so pissed with the problem i didn't drive the f@#$ing thing for two weeks! Got talking with another tuner and he said bring it down and he'll look at it, he found that it was running very lean, in the 14's. So retuned it took me for a drive showed me it was all good and off i go happy as pig in shit. Next day driving to my mums and surprise surprise the thing starts hesitating again! FARRRRKKKK!!!!!!!! Rang tuner and said bring it down and he'll see whats happening, this time i took him for a drive showed him and he found the AFM was reading i little funny, where in the map tracer it was running where it shoudn't be, he worked out that it was running 3 cells down from where it shoud of been, fixed and... GUESS WHAT??? its starting to do it all over again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its only a slight hesitation now but my guess is it's only going to get worse. Tuner checked O2 sensor,ok. and even though AFM reading alittle off both tuners don't think this is the cause. Had a look at both tunes once they left the tuner and both AFR's are in the 12's, thought maybe fuel pump but it is brand new with the first tune. must be something to do with the fuel side of things isn't it?? I'm at a loss now and can't afford to just start replacing bits and pieces as so far by just fitting a PFC and a tune has cost me over 1k and i still haven't fixed the problem. Anyone know what the hell is going on? Ohh and to top things off, the day i was taking it over to the tuner some dickhead side swiped me! i got his number though.

still for sale.

stock r33, manual will hit rev limit (7000RPM) at 190kms in 4th, i know cause i did this at eastern creek down the straight, at this point you hit the speed limiter. But if you went over 190 then your car isn't stock, but in 5th flat out i guess maybe 250-260kms before you hit 7000rpm. Is your car stock? if not what mods?

Yeah i'll be in it, missed the UAS day.

email sent Adam!

Hi Adrian, Yeah, without going into it too much it seems the PFC has been tuned wrong. If you'd like to know more PM me and i'll discuss it there, I don't want to say anything bad about Adam as he seems he knows what he is doing, but unfortunately it hasn't worked for my car. gee 180, yes bud i have taken it back and still not fixed.

I'm sorry but i have to take back this statement. Not happy with my tune.

Hey Jeff that guy is my brother in-law! he wanted to beat me but i didn't end up going. He was over the moon with his result, but still can't catch me!lol

I used him a few weeks ago, PFC tune with stock turbo,FMIC, 3inch exhaust, fuel pump tuned it at 10psi low and 13psi high, made just under 200rwkw. I recommend him.

Mate i got my tune done by Adam too, great bloke and really does know his stuff. I had the same problem and all it turned out to be was a massive air leak from my carbon canister! Car still does ping high every now and again but also found out my cat conv is still only 2.5 inch and the exhaust is 3inch so thats next to get done.

Sorry to see it go, but atleast you still got the 32, i've grown acustomed to MADGTR out there on the track, it was my mentor...

spotted risking on Narellan rd, and then couple hrs later spotted jeff and souly in my drive way!

Mate i just got one from nisswreck, cheap and sent it to my door the next day.

Answers, 1.- how much petrol you willing to use? usually scutineering starts about 8am racing starts from about 9am. The day finishes at 4pm i think or 4.30pm. Last time i went there i did 250km's and a whole tank and finished early! could've done atleast another hrs track time 2.- there's no instructor as such, but if you want someone experienced to show you the lines for a few laps then i'm sure we could find someone to show you. You can take your girlie in the car and scare the shit out of her. I plan to do it to my wife. 3.- What do you mean by stage 1 mods?? if you mean exhaust pod FMIC then look at times around 1.15-1.20 depending on driver ability, I had these mods and had semi slicks aswell and ran a 1.13.6

Nothing wrong with coil packs, only changed them as i'm starting some power mods and changed to splitfires.

Have heaps of pics just trying to find time to download them all.

I have a copy of the show on DVD, only pics but all the cars are on there so if anyone wants a copy PM me your details

22's are so yesterday!

Yes my friends, great weekend, all SAU cars looked good, no bling and no chrome just some good well looked after streeters! I'm still cut that i couldn't dyno the car, its running like a pig but if it was running good it should've seen 200rwkw plus. But hopefully i'll be at the dyno day, if it gets sorted in time. Atleast this weekend can give us some ideas for final battle in Dec hopefully we can all make it again, would be awesome. Thanks guys for a good weekend and i'll see you all onj the forums and any other event i can make it to.

All lighting has to be 2.2mts above the floor, unless they are LED.

bumpo!
