Hi guys

I have an r33 Series 1.5 i recently converted it to manual as it was auto. now when it was auto i was running 10PSI fine car ran great now that i have converted it and replaced computer with the manual comp it will only do stock boost 7Psi i modified stock actuator to go staight to 7 psi so no in between. so when ever i try and boost it over the stock boost to like 8 9 or 10 psi its almost like i hit detination or something like fuel cut. it feels like a bad coil pack as i had that problem when i bought the car but fixed that with split fire coil packs

Also i have a stalling problems mainly in reverse revs just drop and don't come back any ideas??

i have PWR front mount

Split fire coil Packs

Iridium Plugs

lighten fly wheel

blah blah and more

car was dynoed and it made 245HP 183kw on stock boost

any ideas guys car runs fine untill you try and boost over stock boost

Sounds like the stock ECU have a fit @ too much load - try searching with "R&R", happens to just about everyone.

As for the stalling, do you have a ATMO BOV? IF so, thats the cause.

If not, you need to clean the AFM, TPS and so on... there are guides in the DIY section

was it making this power with the auto? when you do a conversion you up the rwhp by about 30 to 40 hp, i done one a few years back and went from 215 rwhp to 250 rwhp with just the conversion and a FMIC. as with all boost problems and no piggy back or after market ecu, sounds like you have hit R&R. need one of these to fix your problem. dunno about the reversing problem.

    • 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
