i really love my r33,

its fast good response, but it just seems to be crap in the top end around 5000rpm... just flatens out, i think the power curve would look like this

_

thats what it feels like, even on 14psi, i hit max boost quickly and it just stops pulling, compared with my old cordia whitch seemed to have a long lasting pull all the way to redline,

is this a normal thing?

also i installed an air/fuel meter (tomei) and its saying @ idle upwards of 16:1 afr on boost it drops to 14:1 and wont go down from there... then off boost climbs back up, i reset my ecu and it stayed in 14.1:1 - 15.5:1 afr. but slowly its climbing back up.. im gonna dyno it to see if its right... what can be the causes????

15:1 afm while driving on boost??

Mate your engine will be ***ed if it isent already running that lean.

And you are running 14psi through the stock cooler and you live in NT??? r u crazy?? the intake air temp much be sky high and apart of what is causing your lean out. Jap cars aint designed to run in such hot conditions like in NT. Get yourself a big fmic or drop the boost down to about 10psi max in that heat and get it checked out or you are gonna have a blown engine very soon.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
