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..

    • 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.
