Hey,

I have an R33 GTS-t (Stock with Exhaust and Pod)

I recently hit 100k and changed my oil (10W50) and filter. New sparkies (iridium). Was gonna do the rest tomorrow.

Problem is, the car is now running pretty rough. Sound is hard to describe, kind of a rotary sound maybe???

Any ideas what I done wrong?

Maybe I didnt plug one of the coil plugs in properly.

Would that cause it? or maybe is there another reason?

It'll be missing because of something you've done (or haven't done) regarding the sparkplugs and coilpacks. Just check it all over again and im sure you'll find the problem. While your there check yoru coil packs for hairline cracks. If they are original items then they are most likely about to let go and maybe removing and replacing has upset one or more and finsihed it off, anythings possible.

Luckily it was my stupidity of not plugging one of the coil looms in properly...

Went to do my timing belt this morning, but found that my idler and tensioner were just about crapped.

I rang a couple of autobarns and cheapa spares, but they had none in stock but they quoted about 260 (130 for each).

Lucky they didnt have them in stock cos I would have been ripped off. There was a post on SAU that said you could get them from a bearing place for but $50 each...

What pisses me off about autocar and other car shops is they never have the stuff i need in stock.

Autobarn didnt have timing belts (standard or aftermarket, they ordered me in a gates one), aircon and ps belts, or the tensioner and idler (not even in a kit).

Does anyone know of a place to get the goods we need for our imports, that always has stuff in stock, particularly the performance stuff (gates\hks timing belts, nismo\performance oil filters, etc..) on or close to the gold coast??

Well like you said Autobarn never have parts in stock, you may have more luck with Repco stocking things like timing belts etc. However you will come to find that its not always so easy to get parts off the shelf for our imports. Sure they carry parts for camrys, commodores, and falcons but luckily we arent driving one of those!

In my opinion the best place for:

Performance parts - Nengun, Greenline, etc

Timing belt idler & tensioner - BSC, roughly $120 for both

Servicable parts - Repco, Nissan

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
