Hey guys. I couldn't really find a "Members Rides" section so i thought i would post it in here with my fellow NSW people lol.

I have an R33 GTS-T Series 1 (1993) and i'm loving it :)

when i bought the car it had the following:

- EMS Computer

- GCG Hi Flow Turbo

- Turbosmart Boost Controller

- Front Mount

- Forged Pistons

- Koni Suspension

- Pod Filter

- 19" Gestalt Diamond Series (from Ozzy Tyres)

- Respray in Gold Rush with Green Pearl

- Alarm System

As the usual thing to do when you first buy a car i changed the spark plugs, oil and oil filter (as this wasn't done in a long time). And it made alot of difference (got rid of that misfire at boost)

Anyway i booked myself in to get my car tuned and the guy said to me that the car hasn't even been tuned before. That the EMS Computer was just put in and left on basic settings to make the car run.

He also said that the car was running at only 6PSI and he is amazed that it could run as long as it had been without the tune.

SOOOOO... he started tuning it. everything was sweet but then because of the 'non tuned' engine my spark plugs were already screwed and once he tried boosting it beyond the 10PSI limit it misfired badly. So he tuned it to 8PSI for me. (which i'm happy with until i get the new spark plugs and coil packs :) )

Now im driving it around and enjoying it alot more with a MUCH better power delivery YAY! :D

My next mod will just be the oil change again with new spark plugs and wack on some good coil packs (im going to go with "Super Spark" and see how they run)

Anyway guys i will continue to update you's on the progress and things and hopefully i can make things interesting for you LOL.

Here are some pics of the car and the tuning with my dyno sheet.

Thanks guys/gals

UPDATE:

Should be changing the oil (AGAIN) this weekend hopefully and also the spark plugs

HOPEFULLY the spark plugs can handle it now that its all good and tuned and hoping that the car will run smoother after the change (not that it doesnt run good now, but any improvement is good lol)

Thanks for watching guys/gals

I recon haha

it was actually the bright red colour. But my camera on my stupid phone couldnt pick up the colour lol.

I even had video's and things but it got so loud that the microphone on the phone couldnt handle it and it started making like a scratching sound. Like as if i was holding the phone outside of my car whilst driving.

You wont make that much power on stock injectors or with stock fuel pump if you have one still. What are your plugs gapped to? They should be at 0.8mm for the boost you intend to run (not the boost you are running now though).

If you still have stock injectors then maybe make sure you have an aftermarket pump, add an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and you should be able to get up around 220-230rwkw.

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
