G'day,

Just thought I'd introduce myself (after checking out SAU a bit). May have seen me round a bit - live near UQ.

After having completely broken the auto transmission in my N13 Pulsar for the 2 time in 16 months, I figured I needed something sturdier. I found nirvana at the end of Feb after waiting for over a year :)

I'll try posting a pic of my car on, it may be too big though. It's nothing flash, just the only photo on my computer atm. I wanted something I could keep for a while and since I'm already married (only 20 though) and kids may be sometime in the future, it had to be a 4 door.

Anyways, if you want, say hi when you see me and lemme know what's good and what's not with mods as I am planning on doing something year.

Steve

PS. Skidpan day was great slip; will defnitely be doing the next one :P:D :D

Told you wrong...... it's 51JAY on my R33.....Mick can't afford personalised plates ....spends all his money repairing the wheels he keeps bending. Ho Hum!!!

Mountains are mad :-) Is it true that guys drift around corners on the mountain so it's pretty slow going??

What are you getting done to your car slip?

Hey, I found driving a skyline is a bit different to driving a Pulsar. I use to have to sit flat footed everywhere round town in the pulsar. When I got the skyline I was in the habit of flattening the accelerator (had to use a fair bit of braking to keep it in check). So I was only getting 280 - 350 a tank! :-( At least it is better now...say 460 a tank. At least I can save for go-fast bits now.

:):D :D

Welcome GZV...

I have recently had my first baby... thus traded in my beloved DOHC Jap-spec VTEC Civic (15 sec quarters) for my black 4 dr manual, too. Turbo cars are certainly different in their power delivery. Civic made more and more power through the rev range - right up to 8700rpm! R33 gives a couple of BIG shoves, one at around 3000rpm and the next at 5500rpm. With the boost wound up a little to 10 psi I'm pretty sure the standard computer is overfuelling and retarding the timing - from what I've read here in the forum - causing a flat-spot btwn 4200 and 5500rpm. (Maybe MicK51 has a few ideas!) Hoping to get that sorted one day - hopefully soon - but probably when my boy goes to school (in 5 years!!!) and my wife goes back to full-time work!!! Who knows...

Will post a foto here of my 4dr in next couple of days!

Would love to do something on the track. Have taken Honda out b4 but not the 'line yet! Just for the hell of it...

Just a base turbosmart boost (bleed?) valve!

Am sure an SAFC would do the trick if I could just find one

beside the road or something!!! Anyone selling one for less

fifty cents?!?!?!

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
