Guest 382 GZV - 4 Door R33 Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 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 :D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/15314-new-4-door-round/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 382 GZV - 4 Door R33 Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/15314-new-4-door-round/#findComment-316267 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iijj Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 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... iijj (North of Bris) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/15314-new-4-door-round/#findComment-316328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
surreal Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 The 'double whammy' push is the dual stage boost. Standard, it runs 5psi and and then ups it to 7psi. Not sure how this will affect your higher boost - suppose it depends on how you have wound it up....

iijj Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 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?!?!?! iijj Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/15314-new-4-door-round/#findComment-318256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
