About 6 months ago I got done by the f@*ken EPA, -all mods had to come off to past the tests. I have put all mods back on and my car aint the way it was??

Mods include: front mout cooler, adjustable fuel pressure reg, exhaust (now with a cat converter) T boost controller, and an air pod filter.

Once everything (adjustable except fuel pressure reg) was back on i noticed it wasn't idling properly. I was told to get a new o2 sensor- but it didn't fix the problem.

I then put the fuel pres reg on- result= not boosting or spooling right (feels like something is holding it back), and serious stalling (every time in neutral) ALOT WORSE Still drive it occasionally, if i dont boost it, its tollerable BUT soon as I put my foot down, its f*@ked.

Do i need to reset the stock computer so it can remap??? OR

I dont remember where boost or fuel pressure settings were exactly at (mate borrowed them and changed them)

SO does it just need a good tune??? OR

Now theres are cat converter in the exhaust- would that make a difference???

Please help cause its so frustrating, dam EPA!, its like I spent around $2000 to get my car running worse then it originally was arghhhh

i thought i saw a pea shooter exhaust on your car :D haha, guess who. quite possibly the fpr not being set right giving you issues, reset the comp, check for vacuume/boost leaks and take it to a tuner and get ur afr's checked out, tuning while on the dyno is gonna give you the best results, and the tuner there can probly spot any problems. Shit idle sounds like a vac leak usually, specially if its after u changed stuff.

the cats not going to be the cause. Work methodically.

First reset your ecu, i take it its a stocker. If not then a retune is the way to go.

next up look at the fuel pressure reg, you might need to reset the ecu after each adjustment (not sure).

You havnt modded enough to really have complex issues, and the only thing thats really variable in your set up is the ecu's learned maps... your pressure reg and your boost.

define fcked on boost. are you slamming your head into the dash?? or is it just doing bugger all.

If your getting boost, wind down the bleed valve and start with modest boost levels to get an ok base line

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
