I know. before you say it, i have used the search.

What i need to know is if i cut sire #53 on the ecu, however i have heard that this disables your HICAS. Since i like HICAS how else can i remove it, or will cutting the #53 output fix this, Has anyone done this? If so does it work.

ALSO how do i remove the Boost cut and how does the boost cut work. I was going to get one off these, Gizzmo FCD,

But i have no idea where to get one here in OZ. Are these worth it, and do they work well.

How does the boost cut work and when does it come on or how is it determined by the ECU that it needs to be on.

OK thanks. This is a bit urgent, i need to get the car ready for track in two weeks.

I forgot to mention that it is a 95 R33 GTST.

I have a friend who is a wiz with electronics, so he can make something for me, just not sure how the boost and speed cut work?

Can somone clarify how the speed and boost cuts wort on a R33?

Boost cut is the wrong term for it, as the 'cut' has nothing whatsoever to do with boost/pressure levels.

The right term is "Rich and Retard" - do searching in the forum on this term instead of "boost cut" and you may find better, more technical answers, especially from Sydneykid.

Basically when you turn up the boost on the RB25DET, your fuel/air mixtures will be very rich at the top end (down to AFR of 8-9). The ECU will then retard the engine as a reaction to overly rich fuel/air mixtures.

The new Turbosmart FCD works a charm so I've heard; perhaps call them up and get some more details on it.

The Speed Cut can be removed by simply cutting the wire; look up the ECU pinout manual to find out which one.

only problem is i have no money for a PFC, but enough left to get a SAFC II, plus sometimes these come up cheep.

UPPPSS i better tell my mate not to cut the wire, he was goign to do it, but has an auto.

Thanks mate.

Either way, would using a SAFC II to lean out the mixture, fix the boost cut retard?

a mate of mine cut a speed wire (don't know which 1) and it got rid of his speed cut.

as for rich and retard, a safc won't get rid of it. it has nothing to do with air/fuel mixtures. it is to do with the amount of air passing through the airflow meter at any given rpm. it isn't just when you get to a certain pressure it cuts out. the amount of airflow might be ok for 4000rpm, but its too much at 3000rpm, so the ecu kills the engine for a second to slow the turbo down. then the engine will kick back in and continue on as if nothing has happened. you don't lose power after it has happened, just for the time that it kills the motor. when mine would do it it would proceed to light the tyres up down the road when it kicked back in if i was in first or second gear.

i would also have to suggest the new turbosmart fcd over any of the others i have seen, as it has a set of instructions just for skylines.

but ultimately a full ecu, or a remapped ecu would be better. i picked up a remapped r33 ecu for $200. it was remapped in japan. it has no speed cut, higher rev limiter and no airflow protection.

So the cut, feels like a missfire then, or what? The car will be in Tassie on Monday, and as soon as it comes in, it's getting a new IC, new exhaust, boost regulator, fuel pump. I am planing on running 10-12psi on the stock turbo for now.

What are my chances of incountering boost cut, and is there an easy way to get rid of it.?????????????????

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
