Just some advice...... If you want to change your rear camber to help with tyre wear etc.......

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GET ADJUSTABLE CAMBER ARMS

Camber bushes suck ass haha

Hahahaha they aint that bad :P

The only bad thing is there isn't much adjustment with only changing one bush :(

Did you just change the one set (upper from memory)?

You'll make me one if you want to use the rig *shakes fist*

Haha

Yeah i get +/- 0.75 degrees. Both inner upper control arm bushes replaced on both sides. Only want to get a little bit of camber out so all good

Just a pain getting the old bushes out lol

So got my wheel alignment done today

and wow did I have some wicked toe in lol. 11 degrees front and rear. Cant wait to see my increased fuel economy now its back to 1 degree lol.

Should be all good for the drive tomorrow :) Gave it a clean today and might get off my ass and vacumm/clean the inside soon

  • 2 weeks later...

dunno hey. Pretty over it at the moment.

Feel like punching the flamin mongrel that hit me. He thought it was funny in the end, even though it was his fault and I ended up in hospital.

Messaged me and reckons "I should thank him for bumping my shitbox off the road"

If I ever see him again.... I'll be trying to convince myself not to punch him in the face.

In the maeantime I'll call the police and make sure he is being charged.

just for all those who are not aware! the fisrt tnt is on next sat the 21st from 3pm onwards, yes its actually happening this time yay! so will be good to see a few of you there. nur33 will be good to see that wild car do a few runs :):thumbsup:

Sweet as.

Will hopefully have my gearbox back together by then so I can see what times it will do now. Really want a high 12 but will probably only manage a 13 first time out with the new setup. If I can get it off the line.....

Ordered an AEM UEGO Wideband gauge from the states. Has analog out so should be able to hook it in with the FC-Hako and have the AFR's up on map watch in FC Edit. Will make it alot easier to tune.

Also with all the gearbox stuff I decided to go with an NPC Lightweight Billet flywheel. Replacing 2nd and 4th synchro + energizer springs and inserts and bearings and needle rollers. About $1100 going into the gearbox which is not bad for what should feel like a near new box with a decent flywheel.

Next on the list Is carbon fibre valley cover and timing belt cover, put my polished cam covers on and a carbon fibre cooling panel

Hi Guys

The R33 will not be ready for tnt anytime soon.

Also just to let you's know my old boy and Dave from CPV Performance have gone to the Palmyra Drag Committee and we are getting a Car show organised for the 25th of June at the drag strip to raise money for the club. The car show will consist of a Show n Shine Comp, a Dyno Comp (two wheel rolling dyno 1100hp). and a Power Skid Comp (not to be confused with burnout comp). We have also got a Bikini comp lined up as well. Now there will be three catagory's 1.Best Holden 2. Best Ford and 3.Best Import (Import meaning anything imported into the county rice burner's, euro's and yank tanks), and there is a lot of prize money up for grabs.

This will be the debut for the R32 Drag Car at this event, as we are on track to have the car complete in the next few weeks. Now we are waiting for confirmation but Mark Jacobson form Godzilla Motorsport said he would like to fly down to be there for the first outing of our R32 and help fly the flag for the mighty GTR's, We were planing to have all Models the GTR's lined up but my R33 will not be ready, we were gonna have Our R32 N1, My R33, Kingy's R34 and Grants R35 all lined up would have looked awesome.

Anyways advertising should start soon for the event and can't wait to see our R32 destroy everything that crosses our path domokun.gif hahaha!!!!!!!

I'll put some pics up of my wheels again, I really want to sell them locally so I save worrying about transport etc.

anyway:

Koya Inox R1 19"

Fronts: 8.5" wide with 235/35ZR19 Nankang's (inner camber wear but still about 70% tread left)

Rears: 9.5" wide with 265/30ZR19 Kendra's (near new, 90% tread left or more, only got them at the start of the year)

Offsets:

Front +35

Rears + 38

Great fitament on R33 Gts-t, dont really require guard rolling as I drove around with no guard work for 2 years with these wheels.

They are dirty atm need a good clean and maybe polish, there is minor gutter rash on two wheels but its not so bad. Can provide photos of this if necessary.

Chasing $1300 with Hubcentric Rings and locknuts

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
