ok got the price, your looking at about $185 but itll have to come from japan. we dont usually keep them in stock cuz not many people actually buys them but we do get a few sometimes and they have to order it as well.

the thing about the harness is that not many people actually pays much attention to it so when the car is misfiring and they do the usual checks like the coils, sparkplugs, igniter, you know the usual things but forgot about the wiring. the harness deteriorates overtime and become crispy and fall apart easily because of 19 years of exposure to heat. id recommend getting a harness when changing the coilpacks for a piece of mind so you dont have to take it all apart again.

Popping on WOT under boost MAY be detonation.

Considering your plugs etc are ok, and your spitfire coils are ok, the next place to be looking would be fuel.

On a side, it is a bit tough to say, and some people will get upset, but I have seen splitfire coilpacks out of the box that didnt provide spark as well as factory coils - rare, but it does happen.

Anyhoo, suggest you take it into Hyperdrive, or another REPUTABLE workshop and get them to check your air fuel mixtures (and fuel pressure) on the dyno ASAP. I have seen a few smashed engines due to fuel pumps getting tired, or injectors getting clogged (when was the last time you changed your fuel filter BTW? and when did you last clean your AFM?).

Please just get it checked out to make sure it's safe before you go experimenting - especially if you don't know for sure what it is - better safe than sorry IMO

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?

thats what im running and it goes sweet only cuts fuel at 15psi

A remapped 32 ecu? or a stock ecu?

You're looking about $800 to get your stock 32 ecu remapped, I have one running my RB30 w/ z32 afm and 550cc injectors, very good solution and if you *must* have readouts like with a PFC hand controller then get a carPC and datascan :ermm:

      Are you an oil nerd?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet.

      Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
