the intake sucking closed can be fixed pretty cheap.

search for "intake" by user "rev210"

he had a little article about his simple and effective fix.

also, if you could hear pinging while drag racing, with a helmet... it must have been pinging pretty farking badly..

and it would explain why the ecu woudl retard the timing so you couldn't kill the motor.

I'd definitely have it checked on a dyno to see how the current tune is..

is it tuned?

is there an aftermarket ecu in there?

here is the link for the intake mod

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...9&hl=intake

stock ecu and 11 psi and pinging..

where exactly are you?

just go to any dyno place to do a power run and ask to get a print out of your A:F ratio reading.

normally a stock ecu'd R33 goes rich.. if your's is leaning out, it might be a fuel pump/filter/injector issue.

5hrs up the coast from brissy Gladstone. . . There is only 1 dyno place in town and they know bugger all. Charged me $60 to clean the T/B when i figured out all they used was a can of T/B CArby cleaner for $6.00

yeah thats not a bad idea, fuel pump/filter/injector. going to do a compression test, then go from there i think.

GTST, i have a print out and i scaned it but it didnt bring up the numers like on the x and y axis and it wnt upload it for sumreason from wha ti can see it runs approx on 12 till the car hits 120kmh then it dips to 11.5 and slowy rises back up to 12 towards 170kmh, and no there has been no modifications since this tune all i have done is change the oil and its running the same oil just new stuff, it had new plugs gapped at 0.8mm and the mods include fmic/3inch dump pipe/3.5inch cat back, stock cat, apexi safc, pod filter, boost controller set at 11.5psi

if it is the intake sucking closed, you can do the mod in the link above.

it will cost you next to nothing.

but the only way to see if it is sucking closed is on a dyno.

or remove bonnet, strap a mate on the front guard, then go for a fang and ask him what he can see.

could be fun.. ;)

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
