ok i have 96 s2 r33 gtst

i got the car stock as a rock except for a pod filter...

car ran absoultally perfect...

now everything ive done is cut/bridged out that factory boost controller that gives extra boost

at 4,500rpm.so i havent turned up the boost other then that mod.it had a stock cooler and it was starting to ping etc so i put on a front mount cooler pinging went away... then probally about this time i think its my coils are breaking up and doing weird arse machine gun shots some times when im giving it all hell..now ive just put on a 3 inch turbo back exhaust,fmic,pod ,atmo bov,

im still getting this what i think is the coils playing up but also im getting some pinging as well ive always run 98 octane fuel...what should i do next..i want it back to running sweet and how it should with all these mods if i gotta spend some dollors i dont mind any help much appreciated...

Best to change the coils this might smoothen things up as well as check or afr's might help in the pinging area

had the exact same problem!

check plugs, coils etc. if problem still persists, see your local dyno tuner. That was my scenario....did some runs, ran a fuel flow test etc. I had wrong sparks in, timing was off and discovered the pump was lazy. Replaced sparks and under tuned the car to be safe until I go back and install a walbro. currently organising an arc sidemount to replace the standard one before I go back for the walbro pump and tune. :)

on another topic, I first witnessed the change in skylines with different climates...goes so much harder in the cold :( turbos and husky's have much in common.

      Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
