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

i ticked the tuning box. good opportunity to get the word on my car from people in the know.

Yep i circled both on that one

To enter and see what i can beat and also to get some good feedback on how the 33 is going etc etc

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
