anyone had any dealings with RPM performance in morayfield? just curious cuase i couldn't give peter (owner) a better rep. has more than look after since going to him. even caught him playing around with the tune on my wolf at 11pm. but then again he did tune it with 125rpm mapping points.

Hey dude

Yeah, Richard showed me the graph where after 3500 rpm my ecu shuts down a sensor and then basically just burns fuel coz it believes it's 4th of july and my name becomes Johny Dollar. So the Haltech was recommended to overide this problem and continue building power. Car will then be more economical with all the benefits of boost control blah blah blah. Also that was my first Dyno ever and i mean ever. Oh how i loved it. Expensive tho, i see how it can become addictive.

my brother had his timing adjusted there, and a tune, then a week later whilst at power cruise his crank angle sensor fell off during a 3rd gear drift >_< not fun.

if i had not had my haltech installed by allstar and tuned, just left stock, i would probably still be with them (it is pretty hard to mess up a standard cars service), but after the ecu was installed and tuned incorrectly i have never been back, the people i am with now has a full disclosure policy and last service i asked if i could watch over the bloke who was doing the service on my car so i could learn a bit more about my car and pick the guys brain about skylines in general and they were only to happy to let me.

incidently getting back to allstar i later found out that richo had tuned my haltech to run so rich that it melted my high flow cat which partially blocked my exhaust severely limiting performance and exceleration, as a quick fix i had it gutted so for a while i had a 3 and a half inch straight through exhaust which sounded amazing, but illegal so i had a stainless steel high flow cat installed to fix that, it is quiet but at least i can have a incar conversation now. have a happy easter guys!

Hi guys

Ok, so i too have something to report. I have re-read this thread. Seems i got wiser with experience. OMG! Richard also took out my irridiums that were recommended by NGK. He told me the same thing as the other guys. He then put in el cheapo NGK's and lately seems to be a bit slow when starting. I also had to ask for my old spark plugs which were 12k old, they were going to bin them! Sometimes need 2 - 3 turns to start. With irridiums one hit and vroom!

Anyroad, i went to CNJ motorsport to tune my boost controller and airflow voltage bender. What a great experience! They let me sit in the car, tune the gizzmo's myself ( they operated car and dyno ). They were cheaper, quicker and about 30km closer to home.

Oh and i made extra 30kw at the wheels!

I ran Irridiums for years, never had an issue...

Heat range 6 and a 1.1mm gap worked a treat all the way to 332rwkw @ 21psi...

Never blew out the spark...

Nothing wrong with Irridiums, dont care what anyone has to say they worked well for me and id use them again...

Thanks dude! At last, some common sense. I read your thread about spark plugs 30 min ago. I didn't have a problem either. Now startup seems weak. I'll change plugs tomorrow! They are 5000km old anyway.

What thread was that... Must have been pretty old hey...

Iridium NGK Plugs

Yeah was 2005. Iridium NGK Plugs, that was the title. Sometimes too much info is confusing.

This thread ---> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ir...mp;hl=ngk+plugs

Yeah your link goes back to the main SAU front page...

Anything more than a year ago becomes a blur, thanks for the read I love catching up with old memories...

i had a small miss-fire on 16psi boost with the 1.1mm plug gaps. So I changed them for 0.8mm plug gap and no more probs! Car idled a little smoother as well! that help anybody?

As for the topic of tuning cars..

I got jacked off with 3 different 'tuners' who knew less about cars than I did!

so i ended up doing a street tune myself with a mate to drive.

This is not the ideal way to do this, its takin heaps of fuel, heaps of time and way more time again to read info from tech heads on how to do it and not blew up the engine. But the set up is very strong and goes like stink. Soon-ish i want to get it onto a dyno and see how well ive done :D ..

I can assure you all that I am 900% smarter for doing all the above, and now 2 of my mates want theirs done for same reasons, but I want to get mine on the rollers, be in or beside the car as they do the job, and pick their brains like crazy!

My ecconomy is way better, torque is great.. I just want to be able to fine tune the top end a little better.. its a project that is still drivable!

Anyhow, If a shop has wronged u, dont be hostile about it. Calmly let them know that you were not impressed with their work and explain y you will not be returning. Most times the shop will be happy to try and fix the issue. Sometimes this is just not possable.. to just quietly leave.

the reason u had miss fire was becuase the gap was to big, as boost came on the spark was being blown out

the more boost you run the less the gap

on a rb25/rb26 running 1bar the ideal gap is 0.75mm

on a rb25/rb26 running 1.5bar and higher 0.6mm is need

ive had my car at a few workshops... a few id never go back too, my car is going well with alex at gt auto, chapmen and chapman is also good.....

all star didnt return my call so meh

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
