got a r33 gtr with power fc, thing was pullin 257kw at the wheels then the next time got it tuned they had to bring it back 9 degrees cause it was pinging of its head. so as a result not getting i was much power now its pretty much back to standard. not naming anyone but when i asked what was the reason for it, i was told that they didnt no:-( its still driving ok from what i can gather but just wondering if anyone has any opions on what might be going on?

going to see someone about it next week but would mind gettin a few opions as i have not much of an idea. thanks:-)

did they adjust the CAS or adjust the ignition timing on the IGN MAP on the hand controller?

adjusting the CAS is braindead and the lazy way, and it affects the whole tune

but if they did it on the IGN map its ok. what fuel are you using?

cars usually knock different on the dyno vs on the street so its normal to see some knocking on the street after a full tune

i didnt get much feed back at all, he just said dont panic drive it for a while and see what happens. considering he is spost to be one of the best you think he would have some idea. im was using 100 octane but have to use the 98 and im putting the octaine booter in it but its not really makin much diffrence. anyway hopin this new guy i will take it too can sort it out. this shit is depressing. feel like im drivin me mums collrola sometimes:-)

so you got it tuned on 100 and now your using 98?

no wonder its knocking, you need to get it retuned on 98, the timing will be heaps different

until you get it re-tuned on 98 baby it around, backdial the CAS or use the powerfc temp ign adjust (covered in the PFC FAQ in my signature)

the PFC temp ign adjust is the quickest way to temporary reduce timing across the whole map

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
