Hi All,

Im heading down to WSID wednesday night and thought i would do a call out to see who is thinking of heading out. My mate is a stock vectra is heading out for the first time so you u will get to see the slowest car in wsid history. i also get to smash a commodore around a bit cause his bro is heading down to. Come say hi if you do go. Im the white r33 with 19" on the front and really bald slicks on the rear...

And 8 back, baby!

Not really. I left my wheel spacers in the shed and when I went to put the shiny new Mickey’s on I realised I couldn’t use them as they foul the lower spring mount in my car. So I put the street tyres back on (with 45psi in them) and went for a skid. The street tyres wouldn’t hold more than about 3400rpm on the line without going into wheel-spin on the spot. The starter at WSID doesn’t take kindly to static burnouts in full stage so I had to drive it off the start line and wait for the car to come up on the converter and then onto boost. As it stands the converter seems way too loose as I crossed the line at 113-114mph all night but at a whopping 7100rpm! Basically the converter is slipping more than it should be and not directing as much of the drive to the wheels as it should be. We’ll take the converter out and have it tightened and changed once I have a bit more data on what it wants to do and work out exactly how hard it’s gonna want to slip on the bottle and with more boost. Bear in mind that last night was @ 15psi and no gas so surprisingly, I’m pretty happy. I drove the car home and everything was fine. I’ll be back out again on Friday the 15th, this time with some drag radials and a little blue bottle.

Cheers

my advice

dont change it till you tune it at te boost you want with the gas, then try it

the same converter will be totally different with more boost and the nos in it. my car is proof of that.

I was out there....was doing some very average times early on but started to tighten them up closer to 10pm. was .12 off pb but ran some consistent 13.6's. looking to drop the pressure in the slicks a little more and try again. still havent taken much off my 60ft tho, 1.970 is only just quicker then previous. 2rismo impressive engine bay, plenty of shiny pipes...

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
