yeh someone told me u can fir the stock ecu plate on it but its a tight fit, yeh i think only the hand controller wud give it away. but wud b funny trying to unplug ur stuff and hiding it wen u get pulled over, seeing as cops see everything

nice nice.,.whats this bad boy rated power output?

I wouldnt be surprised if something like that hapened though, the government does want that import owner's money

Ohh,i didnt kno cops actually looked at them for defects,,lol dodgy dodgy.. but doesnt that make it illegal for apexi to sell pfc's or haltech to sell their units in australia?

Hey man, well i tried spraying carb cleaner all round but didnt make a difference,,i'll check the TPS out tonight. im pretty sure i earthed the earth wire on the harness, but i'll have a look to mke sure its done right. well i did take my CAS off a day before to take my cam cover off, coz it wasnt put on right and was touching a belt, causing a noise. anyway, fixed it and lined it up according to a line that was painted on it by the guys who did my belts,, well it ran fine after the adjusting, but i will look into it.. when it comes to advancing it, is it clockwise to advance and anti-clockwise to retard? but yeh i wouldnt be surprised if my tps was moved a bit.. i'll let u kno how i go.. Bloodsword27, the plugs that are in there now are the same set that was in before i changed them,,they're gapped to 0.8mm

I didnt kno aftermarket ecu's were defectable..why is that?

sweet, thanks a lot man, i think u pointed me in the right direction,,i was driving home tonight and had my window down, coud clearly hear a hissing sound coming from the right side of the car..i'll diagnose tomorro and see if i need a new gasket,, im jus confused tho,,dunno how the hell this happened, the car was fine 2 days ago,,but yeh,,wat can i do..i'll let u kno how i go,,cheers man Ben

sweet,i'll get onto it tomorro, thanks for the advice man. should i just concentrate on the gasket areas or go over the throttlebody and vac lines as well jus in case?

LOl $550?? Bro wen this happened to me, i fixed it myself with a $10 heater hose from autobarns. this hose is in much better condition that the OEM one ever was. its just hard to get under there coz there's not much space,,but its not impossible

thanks for the reply,,alright i'll go to autobarns tomorro and get some brake cleaner. so, if it is a manifold leak, does that mean i need a new gasket for it? and if so, is it costly? *Edit* Does it have to brake cleaner? i got some carb cleaner lying around..does it make a difference?

Ok,, I posted this in another thread related to this issue but have had no responses at all, so I thought I'd just make another thread. here's what I posted: Hey guys, dont wanna start a new thread so thought i'd post here,no offence to the OP. Anyways, my car was running alright yesterday, but its always had a slight miss at idle, one of my mechanic friends thought one of my spark plugs might hav been loose. Anyways, i have a spare set of ngk iridiums and thought i might as well change them all if i was gonna look at the loose one. Found number 5 was a bit loose so i replaced them all. Now, i got a friend with an r33 as well, but he's got one of those blitz BOV's that come on the intake pipe, and he's been getting a boost leak for a while, so we thought we could try my intake pipe on his car for a bit to see if it actually was the problem, we took that off while i replaced the plugs on my car. ok,so found out his bov was the problem, put the pipe back on my car, checked everythin was on tight and good, and ran it... it ran absolutely sh*t, idle's lumpy and would miss under acceleration. i thought it was the plugs since they are not gapped. it got dark, so i waited till this morning to put my old plugs(that are gapped to 0.8) back in. did that, reset the ecu and went again,,went a bit better, but still had a bad miss. after work i came back, checked everything i thought would cause a miss,,cleaned the afm, checked for boost leaks, took the intake pipe off and refitted it.. still idles crap. I have brand new coil packs in my car (yellow jackets) only 2 weeks old, and they ran great. i took the plugs out again, make sure they were clean and all around the chamber was too, put the plugs back in and checked the coil springs were fine and all. now i've run out of ideas. Which vacuum hoses should i look at because i think ive looked at all of them. sorry for the long post,,im jus out of ideas,, any help greaty appreciated. cheers Ben *Update* ran it last night and it seemed a bit better, drives pretty normal, just has a heavy miss at idle, i tried taking out the plugs today, cleaning them and cleaning around where they go in, still had the same problem. The car was running perfect 2 days ago,,dunno what i did to make this happen

anyone...? The car seems to idle fine,,if it hunts, its only minimal. I drove it last night and it runs alright, gets onto full boost, but feels down on power. I took the plugs out again today, cleaned them and around where they go in. I checked the IC hoses and clamps and they look ok,, it only really seems to run crap at idle,dunno wats goin on

any ideas? i got tomorro off so wanna have a real good look over it then

HEKTIK, which hose did you find to be split?' sorry for the long post,,im jus out of ideas,, any help greaty appreciated. cheers Ben

huh? now im more confused

I'll go out on a limb and say need for speed..

get a blitz return flow kit, or the just jap one,,needs no cutting, just need the reo trimmed to fit the top of the cooler. but if u do wanna use your core(assuming it's just a normal core), you'll probably need to get someone to make a U-joint to connect up with the rest of the piping.. But i'd jus go with a full blitz kit,,then just sell your core i think the jusjap ones cost about $400 for the r33 one, not sure about r34

bump bump bump

nice nice,,hey guys how much can i get a rear diffuser kit for my r33 for?

great cooolers,,i got one in my car,,free bump

Lol yeah i did say that,,i jus meant te thought crossed my mind, but even as soon as i saw him start driving alongside me, i knew i wasnt gonna do it..was kinda hoping the other car was a cop car, so the r8 wud get busted ..but yeh im real glad i didnt do anythin,,i jus thought they were being idiots

Oh, so coz i get picked on and chose not to do anything, im in the wrong? i was way ahead of them and they flew through the traffic just to get to me. i didnt even want to race them, wrong place and time and i dont do that kinda sh*t anyway. if anything i wanted to speed off to get away from them, but they got the idea after seeing i wasnt doing anythin. lol as if i'll race a 300kw car anyway

totally agree,,u want an emanage expert,,talk to trent from status tuning

free bump for a sick car,,jus wanna ask, how much power did u make on the dyno with this? jus wanna get an idea of wat mods can get me what power.. cheers Ben
