Ive recently dropped my RB20 back into my 32 and she is running a little rough.. i have cleaned up and changed alot of things to help make it run smoother but its still sounding like a subaru lol, i think im just avoiding the fact that it really needs a tune

So ive looked around the forum and i cant seem to find anything direct, but i was looking for the best place in PERTH to get my RB20 tuned and for the best price with the best service

can anybody direct me? thanks guys :D

It will sound like a subaru because its running on 5 or 4 of 6 cylinders. Check the leads, coil pack, spark plugs, injectors, injector wiring etc. these will cause ur car to miss fire permenently on a cylinder. Hence make subi noise.

Most normal mechanics can fix this

good luck.

read the consolidated workshop thread and you will find answer to your question

there is not 1 best there are lots of personal preferences for wrksops

eg one person prefes x-speed another will say hyperdrive/top racing etc

yeh as above.

best bet would be to ring around to the workshops, tell them what you need done, or what the problem might be.

and from there on, you decide what workshop.

i see, well we have checked my ignitor, coil packs etc and found that it ran a little better with a different ignitor. i have checked the leads, they all seem to be fine, i was told to run some injector cleaner through my fuel, and use 98 octane which i have done except she's still running rough

i have a VG30 turbo going on, looking into getting some gtr injectors, 040 and dif fuel pressure reg etc, and my computer has been remapped according to a mechanic friend? i dont know how he could tell, but yeah...

so i was going to get it tuned with that, thanks for the info guys

I would figure out why it's misfiring before you bother upgrading turbo etc and trying to get it tuned. If it's not running right when you take it to be tuned you'll end up paying through the nose for the tuner to figure out what is wrong before he can even start tuning the car.

Do some experimentation and analyses by trial and error.. start the engine and unplug each coil one at a time, see if it makes any difference. Can also swap coils from good to bad cylinders to see if it's the coil or the harness. Do the same with the injectors.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Duncan · Posted

      Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By Duncan · Posted

      This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too

      first time swapping rb25det into r34

      By dingleberry · Posted

      hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy

      SAUNSW - World Time Attack Challenge - 5 & 6 September

      By Keeper · Posted

      Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!
