heyas, after a good dyno tune for my line. Can someone reccommend tuners they have had good experience with? I live in Parramatta so would be convenient if they were close by. Also, when I rev hard in my GTS-T, I hear a rattling noise....sounds like a loose bolt hitting metal, I've been told its my fuel pump but not too sure...thanks for helping fellas.

advice taken, CRD are going to call me back to book a date to bring it in. Sorry about the thread i tried a search for "dyno" "tuner" etc. not much luck.

I spoke to my mechanic (very competant, always working on turbo imports especially skylines) and he is most definite that it is the fuel I'm using. My line is running BP Ultimate most of the time, other times its BP Unleaded, Shell Unleaded or Shell Optimax....could it possibly be that I'm using too many different fuels? or too much of the same fuel?

just gave hitman a call, he rekons i shouldn't be running anything less than 98 oct :D since fuel in japan is stronger. He recommended runing it till its empty, and then fill up full tank of ultimate, and if its still pinging to give him a call to book a tune. I think I might end up going with Hitman instead of CRD, did a search and most guys here have had good results from him, as well him being cheaper :laugh:

I'll let yas know how it goes.

ALWAYS use 98 octane petrol - for the few cents per litre difference its not worth the hassle.

Ya :D

Since I got my car last year, ive always used BP Ultimate, untill there was the period where it ran out. I used Shell optimax. I felt the car running less power but more kms.

Since then ive always put in BP ultimate and never less..

So yea, if can afford a perfromance car give it the good juice!

Problems sold, by CRD (wasn't bothered to go to penrith :bunny: ). Main problem were the sparks. not sure exactly which ones my mechanic put in, iridium heat range 6 ones. after putting in the right ones, the boys at crd persisted to run the car again to see if there are any other problems and wa-lah everything was fine. :D

forgot to get the first run's readout but got the last. I can tell you that the first run showed a shocking curve...

car runs ALOT smoother now, and just feels healthier all round. Going back to get a Walbro installed (lazy pump was also revealed on the day), and might set the controller to around 10-12psi. cheers for the help fellas i'll post up again after pump.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
