I will definatly be dropping in on the autobarn thing on sunday, have to go out for the sunday drive!

Looking at buying speakers for my r33 what are good splits that will fit flush with the original holes?

Also does anyone know of any really good workshops in the sunshine coast area that really know their skylines?

Some great splits would be rockford fosgate punch, top quality speakers and will provide a perfect and crisp sound. but also depends on you budget...they are fairly expensive, probably lookin at the $200 mark for the pair.

Also for skyline workshop there are a few places. i know of an import place that deals specifically with skylines and other modified/tuned cars in kawana industrial area, sorry i forget the name but could probably find it for you if u like. Hope that helps :). D

If your looking at getting work done to ur imports. there is only 1 person id go to on the sunshine coast and that is marty at MW performance. he has done all my work on all my cars for hte past 4 years and never have fault him once. thats why u see alot of mw stickers going around. he delt with alot of work on my rb25 silvia which made over 260rwkw and my series 2 r33 skyline and the gtr aswell., that aint counting the endless sr20s he has worked on..

if u want his contact ill pm me it. just give him a call and talk about wat u want.

Chris

you will have to book in advance as he is always busy.He must be about the only decent and honest mechanic who works on imports 100% of the time on the coast.I got his number etc if you want it

x3. Won't let anyone else touch my car, marty know's his shit thats for sure, and his prices are pretty damn good... the crazy bastard even has a 400rwkw T78 sr20 180sx!

Um close but it is actually a trust T67, and its 320kw @ the wheels.

Uhm no, it's a Trust T78-33d with 16cm exhaust housing, its the exhaust same turbo i had, marty was gonna buy it off me for a spare because it was the exact same. Last time I talked to marty when he got his car back from the dyno it made 380wrw.. they couldn't get a good reading because of tyre spin on the dyno... unless he has changed to a smaller turbo since then.

this was a while ago he might of changed it, knowing him this is quiet possible,either way its one hell of a setup,we agree?

Yes yes marty has spent a small furtune on that car, last time i saw he was putting on r33 gt-r brembo's, got a new carbon/kevlar bride racing seat, new coilovers, trust radiator... not to mention it was bulit buy garage saurus before he got his little mits on it 5 years ago..

Word on the street is he's opeing a workshop in kunda, i'll ask him tommorow about it..

    • 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.
