how old is your pod? size?

when i bought a new one, i didnt realise the surface size was so important,

it literally suffocated the engine as the turbo spooled up.

i suggest buying another pod first, could be something as minor/stupid as that.

shut up damo :(

yeah, make sure you ckeck the bottom of the elbow pipes in particular, the tend to rub on the body of the car

and split over time, best way is to actually take them off and inspect. you may not see the split otherwise

I had a similar problem with my 33, turned out the computer got shorted and was running -40deg timing. Chuck a timing light on it. Also if you're not sure of their condition or type, change your plugs to Iridiums and gap them to 0.8mm

R32's when stock do feel fairly crap, mine used to feel like an N/A until I got some boost in to it.

They need exhaust and a little boost ~12psi then they start to come alive.

Taping coils won't do anything unless its popping/missing. If you must throw in a set of cheap copper BCPR6E plugs and gap them to 0.8mm. ~$24 for a set and they last a good 30,000km's on a near stocker with a little boost.

Lazy fuel pump can make a car feel really tired.

Best bet is to grab a base dyno run.

Throw it on the dyno at one of the up and coming dyno days. You'll soon know if something is off with it. :)

If you do the timing light check that will only be noticeable if you bring the car off idle. When on idle the car runs off its statically set timing via the CAS.

+1 for putting in at PGSA dyno day

Put it in the coming dyno day at Graham West Workshops

and ask Brett to give you advice on how the car is running etc

He will give you a lot of feedback and also will tell you what other simple things you can do to get the most out of your 32 mate

-1 for putting it on at PGASA, the last thing they wanna do down there is diagnose your problem when they are whipping through 50 cars on the day..

Take it down to Aussie Dyno on corner of port rd and south rd, or boostworx (youll have to book in) boothby st panorama.

Damo if you look at the entry form

they have the option of either entering in as competing

or entering in to get tuning details

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
