Hi again guys and girls.

Firstly every one who has replied to my previous topics, thanks.

Can some one tell me why whenever i give my car( R32 GTS4 Turbo) full boot i get full boost and get an intermittent backfiring. I've got new Spark Plugs gapped to 0.8mm, New Splitfire Coil Packs, and Running 11PSI.

I'm thinking my car is running way to rich!!

Other mods- Turbo back Exhaust, pod filter and HDI Boost Controller.

Any help or advice is well received.

Mark :(

yeh, got a bov. forgot about that.

Car has not been tuned, as i've been told by x-speed that the won't tune factory computers, i haven't bee n to any other performance shops yet though, so help with that would be good

no loss of power although does feel a sluggish occassionally. if i jsu raise the foot off a lil bit all is good again...

Theres your problem, you should take it to another workshop.

Where abouts are you located. If its not to much of a hassle take it to hyperdrive. Andrew is very helpful.

I'm living in Leeming at the moment, soon to be living in Thornlie.

Ah ok, i was under the impression that i need a retune at some stage. Hyperdrive, any others that people know of??

hehe, i thought x-speed were not as good as they make out to be, expensive to!!

depending on how far you want to go with the car.

If you only want to keep it mildly modified

Just get it remapped or nistune from hyperdrive. You probably wont get much or if any additional power but the car will function perfectly.

cool, cheers dude!!

If i wanted to take things a lil further wat u recommend??

Just get yourself an R33 series 1 turbo, and a stock ecu flash tune.

Whats that like $700 or less?

I dunno how much the R32 ECU retune costs. But a stock R33 turbo is about $300?

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
