Couple Of Questions

[R33GTRKid]

ok, had my car finally finished http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rb...79#entry4293079

Not overly happy with power result but tuner wants me to run it for a few weeks and then bring it back to lean on it a bit more.

Few questions:

1. I have an Apexi boost gauge and water temp gauge that were on the a-pillar and running through an apexi gauge contoller and fuller working.

shop suggested i move it from the a-pillar to the top of dash in a nismo holder because a-pillar illegal.

No problems, it gets moved and the apexi oil temp gauge that was mounted solo gets put into holder.

Now pick car up - oil temp not working, waiting on a splitter to run through gauge controller - no dramas.

Water temp works fine, controlled through the gauge controller as before.

Boost gauge however, does its start up check (gauge swings from left to right and back), the needle lights up, but does not register/read any boost (stays at rest point) and when I turn headlights on, back ground does not light up as it used to either.

Any suggestions what the issue could be? The EVC6 was installed so maybe this could explain why not reading boost, but the back ground lighting not working is weird. Also the gauge controller 'peak' and 'warn' functions do not work on the boost gauge anymore. Water temp works as it should.

2. I supplied a HKS adjustable fuel reg and the adapter. When pick up car, was told, will not fit with standard fuel rail, so a nismo one put on. I will sort out the cost difference in my favour but wondering if this is actually the case. Also told the nismo one bolts straight onto the fuel rail and no extra fittings needed??

3. Is it usual for when the car starts for the knock to go to like 100 odd. When it runs the most I have seen even under full accel to 7,500 rpm, is 21 and usually well under 20, but after start up when I hit the recall peak, it sometimes reads like 100 odd, but then other times it reads 1 or 2 before I reset.

I am not sure actually whether it is start up or turn off that causes the knock, but definately not when running. Does the pfc reset when engine turned off which then means the high knock read is coming on start up?

Asked shop about this before I had mods done (about resetting PFC monitoring after start up) and was told no need and if there is large knock on start up, the engine bearings are f**ked?? I hope this is wrong!

4. from above link, you will see all my mods, 380 hp at 17.1 psi odd seems a little low I reckon given all the other results in the sticky? any comments, ill post the graph up asap. Also I have noticed that setting B on the EVC has max boost at 18.1 PSI but it never gets there, the most I have seen is 17.1 and the tuner did say this was what he had set it at. Is there any internal setting other than setting A & B (low and high boost) that will limit the boost regardless of what low and high is set at?

cannot believe no one has any input on the boost gauge or other issues?
