so i bought a r33 gtr, prob owned about 30 cars(ish) now, and thought i would have learnt my lesson now with modifying cars :( ,dont do it!

i have the usual mods, exhaust, pod, apexi, cam gears etc, on the car when i bought it, but i wanted the interior/exterior standard (except the lm 400 wheels).......

then the clutch started to slip,

hmmm while the car is getting a new clutch, thought 160ks on the clock, and boosting 1 bar, may just 'wip' of those turbos and maybe go N1s or rebulid old ones etc, run the car at bout 1.2 bar and leave it at that,

everyone (with any brains! :D ) on this forum always say "choose a power figure, and what you want out of the car, and stick with that" excellent advice.... that i didnt listen too

so the garrett 2860-5, oh bigger fuel pump, injectors....sweet,

crap too much power, twin plate hks

but may as well get a profect b, tomei dumps while the turbos are off,

dam tomei dont fit, fabricate dumps, water, oil lines, oh and inlet, on dyno, oops fuel line leaking, fix that

crap, afms maxing out, ZFM's

back on dyno BOV leaking, crap new BOV back on dyno

oh oh, some kinda problem with AFMs, remove and purchase D JETRO to avoid AFM problem

shoot while im there may aswell get a bigger FMIC.....excellent im modifying cars again, dam i love it!!!!!!

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
