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.

      I'd be worried about having to parallel park a boat like that. Magnificent car though.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
