Sinistagtst, I had a quick look at your 33 last Sat'. It looks like it has all the required 'goodies' in the engine bay. Is it a GT3540? And what cams are you running?

  • 3 weeks later...

bah ! :(

get to boostworx today, car engine hot as *%#@ coolant leaking out, temp guage sky high and smoke from engine.

Lol; busted radiator, right on time, replacing with thicker item.

take off turbo and manifold and the manifold drops into 2 pieces, was split in two. only done 100km since I last had the car here as I knew it was sick. Lol; replacing with a standard unit as I reckon a cheap stainless steel jobby isnt worth while.

expensive day, looks like shell cost me a grand all up.

pressure test radiator, shagged, get replacement thicker item, fit, flus and fill, take off pipework, manifold splits in two, get replacement same item, drill out and replace all exhaust studs, fit new manifold gasget, replace etc etc, install (perhaps, time permitting) adjustable exhaust cam gear pulley, drop front driveshaft and tune safc / sitc for the Slide highflow turbo.

Im awaiting for another phone call from Shaun, lol, you never know.

better be reliable after this, Im broke !

new battery for the bike today (advertiser tomorrow, $7700), doctors and painkiller script, mates up for dinner (chinese & carton bourbs)

very expensive day, lol. damned 'lucky' so to speak I didnt pay the mortgage this month

Tehehehehe :(:laugh:

im not that happy... i went in for a tune because i had quite large knock readings.... had it tuned it was ok for about 4weeks but now it is back to the same way it was when i took it in.....

U running the same fuel? from when u tuned it to now?? octane boost FTW!

yep everything is the same. and now i have the same knock back again :P And i dont kno what to do bout it??? would you ring him and talk to him bout it? or is it just bad luck? cos they do sound like nice people down ther

Sometimes it can be bad fuel that was put in your tank, as though this happened to us..We always use bp 98 and it starting knockn high again, so we adjusted the timing on the power fc..if u got one you could just so that, otherwise, just give them a bell and let him know, he might b able to lead u in the right direction b4 you being to feel disapointed.

Take it back because some thing is obviously not quite right with it.

Once its tuned its tuned, unless you manually select to initialize the powerfc it shouldn't start knocking.

Another place to look is dodgy knock sensors, bad crank angle sensor or excessive blowby that is causing the knock.

There's obviously something up with the car. Get it back on the dyno to see whats wrong with it.

IF its just a bit of high knock when loading it up in a high gear at low rpm this is because its near impossible to simulate road conditions on the dyno.

LOL Tangles.. Always the way. Mind you thats some pretty bad luck. Cast manifold splitting in two?!?!?! :S

lol

yeah I'll see it abit later today hopefully, not sure exactly on the end result, but by the sounds of it either way the manifold is SHAGGED, split, kaput. just replacing with a stnd one, but still there goes some wasted ca$h hey

Ok im new to this so plz dont call me dumb (actully go on u kno u want to) is it ok to get a knock say in forth gear doing 60 when u say accelerate hardish up to lik 80?
What sort of knock levels are you getting on the hand controller? or is it audible?

:blink:

That depends if its always done it or was fine for 4weeks after it was tuned like you said a few posts up.

IF it was fine then all of a sudden it has started knocking again then no its not fine some thing is up with the car.

IF its done it since its been tuned then also.. no its not fine, but its just a slight tuning issue.

Take it back for a touch up as its difficult to simulate all road load conditions on a dyno. Tell Shaun what road speed and gear its doing it at and he will fix it up.

Its no big deal, just give him a buzz and let him know whats going on. But do make sure you make mention that it was fine for the first month or so and has started knocking and explain the conditions of when it knocks.

Regarding high knock... I'd be concerned with anything over 45ish. Occasionally you might get the odd little spike to 40 odd but thats nothing to worry about. If its always hitting over 45ish then all that is required is a degree from one or two of the load/rpm points.

I've been going to Shaun for ages and he is the best!

I've had many different types of cars and been to many different places but he is still by far the best!

I wouldn't go anywere else!

I wouldn't go anywere else!

yeah, I wont be.

very happy with there level of service.

ended up being a $800 experience, exhaust manifold was definately snapped clean in half, quite a site.

replaced with stock, and a stockish radiator. new exhaust studs, redid all the intercooler piping (they asked who did it, dodgy me lol!) for me, tuned.

the rear muffler is hugely restrictive (sooooo quiet), was going to replace over xmas but didnt so now I will get a higher flowing item when possible, and have the adj.exhaust cam wheel installed, all tuned to 16psi. would expect around 210+ rwkw then. but for now, it feels super responsive....... comes on boost so nicely, cant tell this is a 1900kg vehicle (full wet weight + me).

for cube's analization:

almost quick enough for a family wagon, but time to shop ebay; muffler lol :sorcerer:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
