Boost Drop, Stock intercooler or stock Turbo?
wrxhoon replied to a topic in Forced Induction Performance
its normal , the turbo is not big enough to hold boost at high revs . the higher the rpm the more air it has to pump thats way u get a drop in boost , if u can hold max boost at 6000 u r doing well . -
u may have a cut wire somewhere . put u r lights on and use a test light to see if u have power there ( both high and low beam ) if u dont have power there try to trace the wires , if cant do that u may have to run new wires .
-
rex but i take the gtr out as well
-
what about cv's especialy if its 4wd maybe front cv's dry
-
mildman u r right cause it only takes a few secs to run the 1/4 . circuit racing u have more g forces , both braking and eccelarating , for prolong periods . i have seen afew rb26's that have spun no 6 on the track though

how do u know when u have just the right amount if u dont undo the level -filler plug ?? how do u check the level if u dont undo the plug when u do normal minor service ?
-
guys, the best way to fill it up is : after u drain it from the bottom plug put that plug back then take the filler -level plug out on side of the b/box and use a pump to fill it up ( i use compressed air to pump it up there ). if u want to get to it from the top this is how the gear stick comes out . take the trim mould off , gearknob off , boot off , ( u need new cable tie to put back )then there is a c-clip that u have to take off ( u need a long nose to sqeeze it )once u take that off the gear stick just comes out . warning here though u won't know when its full unless the filler -level pug is out but even then if u fill from there i'm not sure that it will go in to the box on gtrs 4wd 's it won't, it will end up in the trasfer case . don't bother doing it this way besides u should be able to take the plug out so u can check the level everytime u do a service so u must be able to take the plug out . u need a long wrentch ( like 300 mm ) with a 1/2 inch drive ( or maybe 3/8 cant remember ) its shouldn't be that tight i never have any trouble undoing it .

hey , i hope u know that rb26 -r32 crank and rb26-r33 are not the same !!
-
u should change it every 5000 k's ( nissan recomends every 10 or 6 months , dont forget that time detetiorates oil too case of condentation especialy if u park u r car out at night and it gets very cold . if u race the car u should change more often .

there are 2 knock sensors on the block under the inlet manifold . one is near the front and 1 near the back of the block .u cant adjust the sensors , maybe they had some dirt on them and he cleaned them .
-
platinum and iridum plugs are better cause the tip is only .6 mm and u get much better spark . the reson the nickel plugs tip is thicker is cause if they made it that thin it would only last a few k's platinum and especialy iridium are much harder so last a lot longer . typical life , nickel 30k k's , platinum 100 , iridium 150. probably less in a turbo gtr driving it hard less still but still 5 times longer than nickel .

Vibration From front Right Under Brakes??
wrxhoon replied to NA_R33's topic in Suspension, braking and tyres
the rotors only need to be warped a fraction of a mm and the car may chake under light braking when u put more pressure on the pedal it will usualy ( but not nececery ) stop shaking , also it may not do it as much when the brakes are cold . -
yeah thats true they should last 150 k k's and 100 k k's for platinum
-
they are not the same but i believe they will fit but not 100% sure ( i've been told they will)
-
maybe not give them a ring on monday . i know r32 and r33 rb26's use the same though but that doesnt help u .
-
i dont have a listing for a rb25 as it wasnt sold here u'll have to ring ngk and ask them ( they dont list in their website rb25's) u r right u ll have to get the right length and heat range , if u give ngk a ring they should be able to tell u .

Vibration From front Right Under Brakes??
wrxhoon replied to NA_R33's topic in Suspension, braking and tyres
u r brake rotors are warped dude take them to a shop to machine them and it will stop .u'll find it does it worse down a long hill when u aply the brakes slightly when u brake hard it wont do it as much if at all. -
u should be able to get them cheaper than $21 around 16- 18 each in sydney

turning lights on makes idle drop and become unstable?!
wrxhoon replied to kwazza11's topic in General Maintenance
when lights are on cause the alt is loading up the revs drop as simple as that . normaly u r computer will pick it up and increase the revs to compansate just like when u put the air cond on so u may have some prob with the idle speed . -
i dont let anyone jack my car up from the rails or sill panels . when i buy tyres i tell them the only place to jack it up from is the diff from rear and the crossmember under the engine from the front . i also tell them they cant use a rattle gun to undo or do up the wheel nuts , if they dont want to do it i do it myself . u'll find that rattle guns mark the chrome nuts and some idiots do them to tight and snap the studs . or they are done very tight the studs are stressed and they break next time u undo them .

using platinum or iridum they can have a very fine tip witch produces a better spark . u can have a fine tip with standard nickel but the life expectancy would be very short thats the reason the nickel tips are much bigger ( longer life )the platinum on the tip doesnt burn as easy so it lasts much longerand iridium longer still ( they claim iridium give a better spark as well . i wouldnt use nickel on any of my cars , i only use platinum but next time i'll try iridium as they are only $2 more .
-
the only ngk plugs specified for a r33 gtr are platinum or iridium no copper ( i'm sure u can find copper though but wouldnt last )and the diff in price is only $2 , iridiums last a bit longer , i dont know that they are any better though .
-
easy to get out , i use a long nose to put back in its very easy .
-
thats the usual prob if it flashes quicker , globe gone or bad connection , if the unit is stuffed u would have the prob on either side so i would check all globes on that side and clean the connectors before i bought the new unit .
