To follow up the 33 made it 2 years straight outright in the Motorkhana event - Anyone would think I'm the only GTR in the Territory... Anyway, anyone seen this ? I think the blue car

Saw a new ad on imparja this weekend for the drags on the 25th.

Theres about 2 seconds footage of my gtr doing a burnout. All the other cars are V8s.

Anyone know any insiders at imparja who could get more footage?

Yeah Matty's Skyline-Driftn.

Good price for the ecu man. You'll have to get it tuned for your car tho!

That ecu is tuned for his car, not yours. So cant just plug and play :starwars:

But for that price, its worth getting and then saving up for a quick trip to adel or somewhere for a good tunnnnneeeee!

But for the mean time get Carmello to have a good play around with the hand control!!! Might save you some time and get a decent tune of that and he's pretty good apparently at tuning. Better then dallas anyway.

Fark man, that price is a steal haha.

There is a feature in the latest High Performance Imports #93 about tuning Power Fc's from scratch on Skylines.

Would probably be best to reset your ecu and do a safety tune before driving the 33. Less chance of the motor going pop!

Make sure you get all instruction manuals & user guides that always come in the original packaging.

If not there is heaps of info on sau.

yeah i found heaps of info on it and will wait untill craig goes 2 adelaide or ill get the car sent down 2 adelaide myself. i have 2 buy the hand controler as it doesnt come with the ecu so once i get that and save enough money im sending it 2 morpowa in adelaide they built my car so i guess its best 2 get them 2 do it.

yeah man good call, as nice as it is to feel the power from more boost you then have to look at reliability as well, dont get me wrong like craig said your engine will handle it but its what you feel comfortable with, if i ever get my car turbo as hard as it will be to not wind up the boost i just have to stop and think relliability over power,

choice is yours man

Research is the key to modding!

As fab said, he's running 13 no worries with same engine. And i've got many other skylines in the wrx forum running the 13-14 bracket. Just have a good long read on what others are running with the same mods... And i think it be a really good idea to get a mod's list of the guy you brought it off cause it sounds like he was yanking your chain a bit. Cause' him saying you have 200kw yet when you placed on the wicked exhaust it went sour... doesnt sound right. It sucks to be honest that it went like that. Plus, knowing what he has done is a good thing so you can continue modding other areas.

Your words, not mine. ^^^

After you installed the exhaust it was smoking badly and poppin' flames almost every gear change. Thats not going sour?

Reseting the ecu only clears errors the ecu might be having and adds/minus timing to compensate for the fuel thats it been getting.. 95ron. Thats all the ecu reset does. And makes it learn if a new part has been put on due to free flowing or more power... exhaust for instance.. New one put on. Doesnt matter what make or model, most people reset the ecu after any new part has been installed so it can learn to make do with the new flowing/power.

After the reset we did on yours, it blew half as much smoke ( and wasnt as dark as it use to be ) when i was following you and it went alot harder then before by a great deal. Yet, the problems was there way before the ecu reset man. Thats why some of us suggested a reset. It doesnt do major damage or stuffs things up. Just clears bugs and bad batches of fuel and other things. Plus learns new mods.. Thats all..

We're all mates on here and all i did was give you a hand with the ecu cause you were blowing alot of smoke. Thats all. What ever problems you've encounted are not due to the ecu reset. Reasons above.

As i said before. Good luck with the pfc and hope it fixes your problems. Aswell as the new coil packs you said you were getting.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
