You just have to be patient :pwned: Ebay can be quite the treasure trove, I picked up my exhaust on ebay as well, for ~$200, not too bad for a trust exhaust.

Basically I'm in no hurry to do my mods as I want to make sure I do them right the first time, so I'm just waiting for the right parts to come up at the right price. I didn't honestly expect to win the cooler, but I guess coz it was finishing while most people were at work I got lucky :whistling: I was within $10 of being out bid :)

Well hey, it's up in the "taxi" section so... why not here i guess...

Mate it looks tough. And should go hard

Should join up and bring her a long to some of the event SAU have going

and put her on the track.. cheers mate

Yeah, been meaning to join up for a while, I've been having withdrawal symptons ever since we stop having drift practice days at Calder... NEED TRACK TIME! :/

Oh and... :thumbsup:

Sava

you not working at the thrifty car rental place any more havent seen your car there in ages ?

No I quit there about a month ago... heading back to Uni to finish off my degree... I used to see (hear) your car go passed nearly every morning >_<

Yeah, been meaning to join up for a while, I've been having withdrawal symptons ever since we stop having drift practice days at Calder... NEED TRACK TIME! :D

Oh and... :D

well i believe drift practice nights have started again. Though from the feedback on NS it seems calder has stuffed up the running of it big time.

btw ur car looks sweet dude, glad u didn't paint the roof black aswel.

Cheers dude, and yeah Calder started to stuff things up when we were running the show, bureaucratic bullshit as far as I'm concerned... See what these boys can pull off...

Seems only natural to post it here as well...!

Here's my baby, it's a GTS-t factory manual turbo in solid white - exactly how I wanted it! It's stock atm but in the pic it has TEINs and a muffler. About to attack it with the mods...should be a fair bit different by the end of the year...decisions, decisions ;)

PS: 4 doors ROCK! - they look the greatest IMO...

PPS: AutoTrust I don't particularly like 33 sedans, but I'd take yours in flash!

Hi all, i own a R33 series one 4 door.

Bought it about 5 months ago now in stock condition clock read about 98,000kms

Added 2 1/4 inch from cat back (its a non-turbo), 18" rims, uni filter air filter, window tinting.

Only other things worth doing is slappin a body kit on and then lowering my ride but as i frequently take drives up yourke peninsula in sa, some of the roads can get a bit harsh and im worried that ill be scraping the entire way up.

Have had a few tiny probs, auto choke is starting very low at times, and a fuse blew when i was changing my stereo over......but far out, thats about it. Nothing (touch wood) has gone astray as yet.

Ohhh and yeah, its an awesome ride, really pleased with the purchase.

All the best guys.

    • 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.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
