I think some people leave the car unbandonded cause its too expensive to fix. I remember my friend did that once, he didnt want to fix it and took plates off. I think the law i was thinking off is in USA not here.

Hi, I saw car parked on road, no number plates. Is the law still same and if parked more than 1 week its up free for grabs? I remember friend telling me this ages ago. I rang RMS and they transfered me to law society how useless. VLad.

thanks yeah thats good idea, thats how we check gas bottles for leaks.

Hi Folks, I was driving my car other night (not harder than normal), and now the exhaust is making lot of noise. It sounds like a v8 or like i put some fn loud exhaust on. The car drives smooth though NO bad smoke from exhaust, i didnt really notice loss of power. I did check under car and turbo seems ok I cant see any oil leaks there. The noise seems to be coming from around turbo/ exhaust manifold area. Any ideas? Vlad.

hey guys, i found what the problem was, too high boost, through my intercooler i went to trackday on friday @wakefield park , and i lowered the boost from 11psi to 6psi, and this solved the problem. I did 10 laps straight and had no issues with loss of power. most of time now i do 5 laps, then 1 slow lap, then repeat. i think r33 has dual stage boost, as it goes up 6psi, but after 4-5krpm it goes up to 10psi, but i didnt have any issues. anyways thanks for help, and do try wakefield park on weekdays, it was open track all day not many cars at all.

thanks for replies, yeah i will lower boost for next time and take light off see what happens. yeah i fear i will need to upgrade to fmic, i didnt want to do that because on my other skyline after fmic installed i got bit of turbo lag.

will do.

thanks for help guys, i will keep this in mind for next track day.

dont have original airbox. i had airfilter recently cleaned and replaced AFM. if the intercooler is the problem, shouldnt i see the difference if i lower the boost?

hey, thanks for advice. i will lower boost to stock boost 6psi for next trackday, to see if it helps. That should show if intercooler is problem. I removed cover for coils already. the pod filter is just behind the light so that should get enough cold air in. Do you think the old coolant in the engine could be the issue?

i bought the car of friend and he had the coils replaced few yrs back, i have his reciept. well it has bigger intercooler, but i didnt want get front mount and restrict the radiator. i suppose i should turn boost down and see if i still get the problem.

Hi Guys, I am having an issue with my nissan skyline r33 gtst. I went to track days few times now and I get loss of power after first 5 laps. Power decreases significantly. At wakefield I can reach 175km/h on straight but after about 5 laps I can reach only 150. So thats 10-20% power loss. I assume this is because car is getting too hot. Mods r34 intercooler, 3'' exhaust turbo back, boost controller 10psi. fuel pump. -So far I have changed to use different oil from motul 8100xcess (10-40) to castrol edge 10-60. -I flushed the radiator and put better coolant. I have not flushed the coolant in engine, the damn release screw is ridiculous to get to and unscrew. -changed AFM, and fuel pump. so def not those and oh boy it drinks alot. Any recommendations??

yes, i didnt see the 143 page lol, please delete this

Hi Folks, I have been using Motul 8100 x-cess for my Nissan skyline r33 GTST. I think this is one of the best oils. I noticed other Oil topic is since 2003! Thats way to ancient. API/SN standard for oils was introduced in 2010. So my question is what else is a comparison to motul 8100-xcess and is API/SN oil? anyone used Valvoline Synpower Engine Oil - 5W-40? Vlad.

fyi CAR Was imported by aussie car compliance Nov 2006. was running stock boost. now running 11psi.
