I'm currently running Pod filter, 3" exhaust, large front mounted intercooler, manual bleed valve for boost pressure 12psi and after market ecu Wolf V500. Still using the standard turbo but had to replace fuel pump as it was leaning out, I'm making exactly 200RWKW though Auto trans.

i have pretty much the same but tuned stock ecu made 201 rwkw through auto in r33 sedan

:)

so jimmy,. where are u going to post pics of that new white baby of yours so we can ooer at it :) you gotta come over and show me since u only 3 streets away lol

haha its sitting in my drive :D ill go out and take a photo to include in this post.

For all of us who have insurance through people like just car ect.. shop around guys.

i was shopping for insurance, 2.8 was my quote. im 21 had one licence suspension and iv only had my licence a year... never had an accident or any claims and never had insurance so im probably near the bottom of the rating scale. after shopping around i found an insurance place named Famous who quoted fully comprehensive for 1512. I drive a stock 96 hr33 which is in mint condition. i noticed just car was going to insure a 93 hr33 for me for 2.5 so it might be the year of my car.

hahaha nice jimmy, My just car insurance is 1200 fully comp. :D 2.8 seems really high :thumbsup:

car looks great, il have to come over and have a look int eh flesh, well the metal lol , :cheers: i bet you havent stopped smiling yet :) finally got ya liner

  • 3 months later...

for my first year - 18years old, clean record, stock 1998 ltd edition R33 manual, with wheels exhaust stereo suspension = $2800 a year

second year - 19years old (:cool:), still clean record :D, same as above = $1800 for the year :(:):)

insurance is totally worth it, i got rearended with only 3rd party in my ford laser by an uninsured driver and small claims court is not fun and i never got most of the money, not risking my line

and in regards to mods, I am having this all done in the next few days, all installed professionally and quality parts

dump pipe $350

HDi frontmount (good one) $1100

fuel pump $320

fuel regulator + gauge $300

HDi electronic dual stage boost controller + gauge $420

1 hour on dyno = $160

total = $2650

yes i know i could have done it a lot cheaper and if the car was a pig i would have done all the work myself but its a near perfect engine in a near perfect car I would rather it all done properly first time (and save myself a few weekends)

just as a guide for anyone thinking of getting stuff done

got a 89 Honda legend under my name atm with RACQ, they wouldnt insure me for new car, so i phoned Just cars. $1275 A year on a turbo r34 skyline, they also put me on a rating 2 :) on my opens and I skipped all that P plate crap, but its pritty much the same amount my dad was paying on his with a rating 1, 2 or so years ago so im stoked. I have been driving for 5/6 years or so.

    • So, it went to Unigroup for a run in and tune on Friday, everything went (generally) well. In terms of fixes, the engine was good and there were no leaks. It needed plugs (I hadn't checked them because the coil pack cover was on a new engine and I couldn't imagine they weren't new.....but turns out the temporary plugs to just keep it sealed up were in there.....new plugs gapped to 0.8 and it was fine from there. Also, there was a little preload on the clutch slave which caused some slip. I haven't had the box off so I don't know what the clutch looks like; my guess it is brand new and the pedal had not been adjusted....backed that off a bit and it held fine. Last thing will have Dose crying....the idle especially when cold is a bit difficult between the cams, forward plenum, atmo blow off valve and an 80s air management system. It is fine when hot but a little uneven when cold, will see if I can sort or at least improve that one cold morning. Other than that, tuning went fine. It made 245 but was pulled back to 227 which 2 opportunities to improve in future. 1. The factory CAS is not great and was jumping around at high RPM, so Mark took 2 degrees out up top (that is why it stops making power and lost 20kw). Very safe this way and the extra power is available but will require a more modern ECU and better cam (or even better crank) sensor 2. The 2871 in factory housings is very big for a low mount, and the internal wastegate is too small, so it was creeping from mid range all the way to redline....the duty cycle on the boost controller is turned down a little for safety. That is much harder to fix, it would need a large external gate and that would require a whole bunch of other changes, so it will go as it is for now. It feels nice and healthy and safe, so should be good for about a billion laps like this.
    • what sort of caliper are they? If they are a slider and you gave everything a good clean, you might need to regrease the pins. My guess though is they will come good after some abuse as suggested above
    • I don't know what you should expect with an LS, but the oil pressure sounds terrible, sorry. As for the brakes, you can get fade from the pads not just the fluid, although generally that feels like a wooden block not doing anything while fluid feels like an oh shit there is no pedal so you can generally tell. What pads are you running front and rear?
    • Went over my datalogs on a whim and noticed a worrying combination of events. High RPM High Temperature Low Oil Pressure Knock Retard I bought some 10w-60 because I actually think this will be better going forward given track temp is 125C and 10-40 will actually be thinner in those environments. I know I had a leak but it's not entirely sure how much pressure loss can be attributed to that. The knock retard does correlate with all of the above. When it's not present oil pressure is higher. And by 'low' I mean at 6800 RPM the oil pressure was recorded as low as ~35psi pretty constantly. Which is obviously very not good. I'm hoping that thicker oil that ISNT LEAKING will result in a bit more pressure when I need it. Also in the last session I got a very spongy break pedal. I bled the lines as the car is on jack stand right now with the wheels off and I noticed... no air in the lines? Maybe the tiniest bit of tiny frothy bubbles for the first 0.1 seconds of bleeding the whole car? The breaks did come back to me after I backed off (and felt fine driving normally). Doesn't appear to be any leaks anywhere that I can see. Any thoughts on that?
    • Solution, run shitter tyres. Let wheel spin be your weak link 😛
