Mark, I nabbed it for $450, absolute bargain!

Kye, it's the JJR one, here's the link

Meant to reply to your SMS today, sorry, been busy. Unfortunately I can't make it, the missus committed us to her friends 22nd that night, dress up so I don't really want to go :P I've got to organise a time to get the y-pipe of you if you don't mind, very keen on getting that sorted

Luke, thats hot. :P

My old man picked up a 1994 Mitsubishi Delica Spacegear today and I got to drive it home, 2.8L turbo diesel 4WD... it came with a Nardi Torino steering wheel! I'd nab the steering wheel if I had a car to put it into lol the R33 requires airbag and the daily honda has the cruise control switches which I dont want to lose.

I was going to do the high boost mod on my car today but unfortunately got stuck at my mothers house all afternoon!!!! :P

skip it and put a bc in mate. i did it over the weekend, set mine to approx 12psi tonight. effing fantastic i tell ya!

turbos almost off again. rotated it from the exhaust wheel by hand while it was still on the engine, made a nice little grinding noise. sigh.

anyone know anyone who has a t28bb lying around?

:)

and what are you trying to say huh? huh? huh? :P

never u mind hehe

heslo: envious of the airbox.......always loved the ARC stuff....except the price

luke_enr34: have you got any cables coming thru any grommets in the firewall...............could be water coming from road spray (in the engine bay) working its way thru. mate of mine had same issue, he thought his windscreen was shagged in his patrol (plus the next 2 they installed). turned out it was his cabling for the spotties that was tracking the water in via the grommet

The things i know :P

Got my dash out today. Now to remove all the air-con components and just have the rear demister and a fan for the front window. Gonna be a shit load of space behind the dash now. Thinking of making a cf panel with 2 switches on it.

I have stock ecu, turbo ect ect ect. Little worried about detonation going for more than 7 psi. Did you bypass the factory solenoid altogether?

Yep, bypass it. You can still wind in decent boost with the stock ECU so long as your EBC is set up correctly... probably better off going that route to be honest. Then when you want/can afford go for a full fledged aftermarket ECU and get a tune, then you'll really see some gains!

turbos off. comp cover had half blown off. pulled the cover off completely, theres a couple marks on it, and theres some scraping on the blades, so ill be looking into some options tomorrow.

certainly did Steve

yeah the stock ecu is definitely a setback with boost - rich & retard really sucks. power wasn't being distributed nicely through the rev range - anywhere from 3500 - 6000 rpm was very flat, but as soon as you passed 6000, this big hit of power would chuck you back in your seat.

however -

when i added my fmic, i took the car for a drive around the block with the front bar and reo off -it was boosting almost 1 bar! and this was with the standard solenoid, and standard ecu - it flew! but as soon as i put the reo and front bar back on, boost dropped back to 9psi

Im runing a remapped ecu now, good bang for buck, and its roadworthy :P

How much is safe? I might have to do some homework on ebc's... :P

The only thing that annoys me really is the fact it hits the boost limit (5 psi I think...?) under 3000 RPM since the AM dump/front/cat and 3-3.5" catback has gone on. Would like just a little extra between 2800(approx)-5000 RPM.

Nice Luke...stretched rubber on the rears? :)

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
