Hey Guys,

i've just completed a few mods to what was previously my stock R25DET R33

Here's a list of mods:

3inch Exhaust, front pipe back, including high flow cat

HKS pod

Greddy FMIC

HKS Electronic Boost Controller

Now there have been a couple of issues that have come up as a result.

The car was previously runinng perfectly, but now that i have installed these mods, it seems to be hunting a fair bit on start.

After driving it for a few minutes, it usually works fine.

The other things that scared the crap out of me the other night is when i had boost up around 14psi and the turbo just suddenly cut out around 4,500-5,000rpm

What can i do to resolve these issues??

Thanks guys

Check all your vacuum lines to start off with that can cause some problems. As for the turbo cutting out it could be fuel cut. Dont know too much about nissans but i know with some turbo subarus once it his boost cut it will bring a limiter it. Do you have anything like a fuel cut defender?

It would probablly be with runnnig a fault check on your ecu to see what fault codes it throws up.

Hey I reckon you check your TPS (throttle position switch) this can be affected. 14 psi is too much on a stock turbo turn the boost down to 10psi to be safe. Your pod filter would probs be causing probs too cause its sucking in hot air. Id suggest get some kind of aftermarket ecu or atleast fuel controller piggyback. If you search you'd see this is covered tonnes of times. good luck mate hope it all works out hate hearing of a unhealthy R33. also go to a mechanic and get a consult plugged into your car and when your car starts to hunt they'll tell ya exactly whats up.

I run it at 10psi all the time, i only have it at 14psi occasionally as i've heard they can handle this much. (i hope)

Engine wasn't designed (or programmed) to ingest air at 14psi. Hold it back (maybe 12psi), and it should be ok.

If you are running stock ECU, try a reset to have the ECU re-learn the startup.

Check all hoses as could be a leak somewhere since the tubing might be old and flakey..

You can try cleaning you AAC and resetting the idle -> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=110431

Also sounds like R&R'ing at high rpm/ high boost. Since night = more oxygen in air and car R&R'ing (Rich and Retarding)

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
