I decided to take the car cover off the big 33 this morning and take her for a spin. Just got home and i dont have the usual smile i do when driving my car.

Its about to tick over 100 000 km (unfortunately) so she is due for her major service anyhow.

i did notice this morning it certainly doesnt have the punch and throttle response it did at about 85,000km when i brought it. its had regular oil and oil filter changes since then and coolant and gearbox oil when i brought it so i have not neglected the poor thing of fluids. also replaced pod filer.

my thoughts for next week when i do full service are as follows...

*new bosch platnium plugs

*new o2 sensor

*mutul turbolight 4100 engine oil

*drift magnetic oil filter

*coolant

*motul diff oil (im opening diff to shim it anyway)

*bosch fuel filter

*service standard injectors

will also take to a workshop to get timing belt, front mainseal and waterpump done.

car has always been filled with bp ultimate since ive owned it. mods are.. front mount, cat back exhaust and 12psi.

Fuel consumption has always been high but i assume its running fairly rich. any thing anyone can suggest to regain any of my missing power would be greatly appreciated??

am i missing anything in major service too?

thanks.

what ecu / piggyback are u using? or remapped ecu?

the stock ecu wont like 12psi so you must be using something else

check the basics, check timing (with a timing light)

check all fluids, look for any obvious leaks etc

if stock ecu, try resetting it

standard ecu with a remap im pretty sure. i know it cant be running the standard tune because a friends kid wound the boost controller right up and it ran at 20 psi for a few minutes the next time i drove it. not that any damage was done i only came on boost a few time befor i noticed but it didnt miss or rich and retard or anythng so def not standard tune i assume.

standard turbo? at 20psi for a few minutes it wouldnt have liked that?

id definetly try new plugs and a fresh tank of fuel.

BTW, should go for some motul 8100 (xcess i think it is) only 20 buks more then turbolight and its full synthetic. Just an idea. Let us know how it turns out.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By 677_GTR · Posted

      Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys

      Leaking Rear Subframe Bushing?

      perfect, no rush to address the leaking bush then, it's not doing much/anything

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Makes sense. For actuators, if the pressure itself isn't adjustable, that would mean I'd need to think about 2 different actuators with 2 different pressures on paper in order for them to work at the same time if the turbos behave differently. So measure the difference in psi needed to move both, and then get an actuator to match that difference. Assuming I cant get rid of it by adjusting the arms.  You're exactly right, never happens in gear 1 or 2. I can occasionally get it in gear 3 if going uphill but its very small. Only ever in 4 and 5. Seems kind of backwards that one of the points of VCAM is faster spool but if it introduces shuffle then it actually slows spool down.
