Hello, just a few questions, i have a stockish r33 gts-t..

i've recently got my catback exhaust put it... anyway my mates saying i should get "front and dump pipes" anyone know whats the difference between this and 'extractors'? thanks..

also, whats the difference between tuning and remapping?

also, my mates saying i have adjustable coilovers. what are they? and what do th ey do?

also, when im steering ALL The way to the right It makes a noise like my cars scraping onto something.. (normally int he cold.. doesnt hapepn allt he time)

Also, if a front mount intercooler makes the fluttering, isnt that what a blow off valve does? is it a good idae to get a fmic and a blow off valve together?

what do they do exactly?

When turning on my engine, i have to hold my key for about 2-3 seconds before the engine turns on, my friends saying i need new spark plugs? is this true? why? and how much will it cost?

Btw. what does 200rwkw Run quarter mile?

sorry people but im learning, hope you all can be of help.

thanks

thanks!

Hello, just a few questions, i have a stockish r33 gts-t..

i've recently got my catback exhaust put it... anyway my mates saying i should get "front and dump pipes" anyone know whats the difference between this and 'extractors'? thanks..

Extractors (Exhaust Manifold) is what your turbo is bolted on to, Front and dump pipes is the pipes which connect to the exhaust manifold / turbo.

It is the front part of the exhaust system then your cat converter then your cat back exhaust.

also, whats the difference between tuning and remapping?

Tuning / Remapping, it can be part of the same process... Eg if you want to run more boost, ppl usually "remap" the ECU to improve Air / Fuel ratios and make sure they are correct when running higher boost, that's whats called tuning.

also, my mates saying i have adjustable coilovers. what are they? and what do th ey do?

It's your suspension setup.

This allows you to adjust the height of your car.

It give your the advantage to lower your car to improve it's handling.

also, when im steering ALL The way to the right It makes a noise like my cars scraping onto something.. (normally int he cold.. doesnt hapepn allt he time)

:P Could be just your tyres rubbing up against the inner wheel guard when you do a full lock right turn.

You got bigger wheels and tyres on the front?

Also, if a front mount intercooler makes the fluttering, isnt that what a blow off valve does? is it a good idae to get a fmic and a blow off valve together?

what do they do exactly?

A front mount intercooler (FMIC) does not make the "Fluttering" noise, only an aftermarket blow off valve (BOV) makes the flutter / dose noise.

FMIC will only gain your performance if you are running a high amount of boost to improve your cooling.

You already have a stock BOV and no need to change it.

Aftermarket BOV are useless, just makes noise and that's it.

When turning on my engine, i have to hold my key for about 2-3 seconds before the engine turns on, my friends saying i need new spark plugs? is this true? why? and how much will it cost?

:) ... Never heard of this before.

Only reason I would turn the key and wait 2-3 seconds before starting it up is to allow the fuel pump to get the fuel pumping...

Btw. what does 200rwkw Run quarter mile?

You might have to ask a few R33 GTS-T owners on here.

thanks

thanks!

:D Cool!

you know not to hold your wheel at full lock right its bad for your power steering pump..

the delay in cranking could be an aftermarket fuel pump priming, is it noisey when cold?

as for the 1/4 mile ET there is so much room for difference (suspension, tyres, driver etc)

you would have to go to the drags and find out, saying that I would assume low 13's

get a front and split dump pipe and tune it then find out :P

:bunny: Cool!

gotta love the way you answer questions!

tops! :P

do you guys reckon i need extractors for my full exhaust system? also

since i got adjustable coilovers, is it hard to higher/lower a car? and is it expensive?

No you will not need aftermarket extractors unless you have a modified (bigger) turbo.

I have not done it myself but I don't think its hard to adjust your suspension, just takes time and you will probably need a wheel alignment after lowering the car.

Just get your mechanic to do it and it should not cost too much, whatever labor cost your mechanic charges

gotta love the way you answer questions!

tops! :/

Haha!!

Thanks buddy! :(

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
