Hey guys, I am new to the Gold Coast area and as a result know absolutely nobody in the area. Just come down from Townsville at beginning of year! Am keen to meet some fellow skyline owners and get out and have cruise or something. Car sitting in shed and has not had any fun for a while. If anyone interested lets get out and about. Probably seems a bit desperate but i want to get me car out and enjoy the common interest of skylines with others!

I have a R33 GTS sedan, has been modded extensively with Series II RB25 DET (Bored to 2.6 litres with forged internals), Manual, Kazz Mech LSD 4.11 diff ratio, Plenum Modded, IC, Wolf3d V4 plus, etc etc. Car puts out 220KW@the wheels. Look forward to hearing back from yas!!!

Hey no worries, here is some pics of the rocket. It probably seems like a bit of a sleeper, but then again cops never worried me before. All work on this car has been done by myself, even the engine rebuild (except balancing and machining work). Only been to shop for dyno tuning

Thanks. Yeah will have to come along for a cruise. Will be a good way to meet some people. How often do you guys go for cruise? Next couple of weekends are out but after that will be keen as mustard!!!

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
