2871?

I run a low mount GT3037 pushing 300rwkw and 720nm of torque.

Car is a standard R33 Series 2 with mags. Got suspension but it doesn't even look lowered.

Everything looks pretty much stock.

Is that 300rwkw on stock internals?

Is that 300rwkw on stock internals?

Sure is, completely stock engine.

Since this dyno graph, I've leaned it to 12.7:1, and fixed that bump in the curve. That was at 18psi, I've also since had it up to 22psi. Makes a fair whack more power at that boost, but I couldn't control the boost properly so I pulled it back to 19psi.

I do ALL of my own tuning.

In reguards to R31Nismoid's post, HKS make whats called a HKS Silent Exhaust System.

You still get the flow and the nice cannon muffler but the noise is near to nothing. Probley just a slight rumble on full throttle and thats it.

Well I've currently got a custom exhaust with 2 mufflers being made at the moment, it's a backyard job though, so I hope that doesn't hinder me.

So getting a PFC rather than remapping the stock ecu is that much more beneficial? Let's say I get a PFC and get done, when I swap my stock one back in will my car run like goat's cheese? Ie. pass an emissions test, assuming I have a high flow turbo ect.?

If that's the case I might just do that unless I can get away with just the sock ecu remapped.

Nothing wrong with backyard jobs :D MOst of mine is backyard work, and better than any exhause shop in town.

As for emmissions -

I'd talk to Guilt-Toy, he's passed emmissions with a Powerfc and 380rwkw.

He might know the tricks to get emmisions passed with a remap, or even a daughteboard.

Ok well I've been doing some more research and I've been looking at getting a hi-flow r34 turbo, stealth intercooler kit, painted injectors, my custom exhaust.

I'm thinking about heading down to racepace since the are near my house and getting their advice too,

Will need to get a stock airbox with hi-flow filters to replace my pod.

Anything I've missed guys or any other suggestions?

Thanks heaps!

:spank: YEH bottom mount turbos are sweet,also a greddy hideaway intercooler is good,basically replaces the stock one,but is 5 times bigger..cams ,certain n/a tunes help compliment turbos ...cams,lifters.most internals,short shift kit...good rubber get what power u have to the ground...oversize everrtything...throttle bodies...etc... power chip.... tune...etc :devil:

EPA open the ECU covers if they suspect a chip, so either way...

Jesus christ you guys have it hard down there!! Beginning to understand why more and more of you guys keep everything looking stock on your cars.

This is Vic - there is no way to pass for the average punter. It costs more than all the mods put together so not worth it.

Simple as that.

NSW + Vic = not same. Cannot compare.

You'll pass easily.

idle and no load emissions will barely change with a larger turbo as the test does not involve loading up the motor.

Its been done time and time again by people, hence i recommended it.

Ye i must say i was surprised when he opened my ECU cover to check for a chip... lucky i didn't have my "special" stock ECU in there :spank:

Wet shots of gas can very, very easily be hidden. You can set it up so its virtually invisible. Hardest thing is hiding the bottle somewhere that isn't obvious.....

just mount the bottle in the cavity between the boot and back seat, just above the fuel tank access (if its a r33)

I don't think cops look in there?

Yes they can but, you don't need to and shouldn't. The bottle needs good ventilation around it.

Taking a setup kit out can be a 10-15min job, leaving behind only a secured braided line, bottle bracket and plumbed in fogger with a couple of little screw on caps on it. Too easy :cheers:

It's a great option for someone wanting to go drag racing on the odd occasion. If the power requirement is only 150rwhp or so then you can get something like the Zex solenoid setup that looks to me to be the easiest to plug in and un plug quick for a visit to the strip. Although I believe they only offer smaller kits.

Adriano,

11's with stock intake (not restrictive really) stock Turbo (2rismo has already done it with a fairly small shot) and stock exhaust (well thats the nasty bit) do-able still. Little bigger shot needed perhaps a 125 to 150hp-ish.

Food for thought. :)

just leave your airbox and upgrade the standard side mount, you doing track work? high flow the standard turbo and get bigger injectors and pfc and your laughing. bingo bango job done and car still looks standardish.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
