R33 with 3582r (i will check housing size 2moro for you) 18psi but with 264 cams.

Fuel reg on a r33 is good for high 300rwkw so your reg is not the issue.

Yeah, thanks for that. Doesnt matter what gear youre running , it all comes down to a proper tune doesn't it? Funny thing is this guy has one of the best reputations in Melbourne and the results to prove it, but i highly doubt that he tuned my car. Anyway i will post both dynos once i get it retuned elsewhere.

It's put in 4th gear so the tuner is able to tune it.

For example, you would not be able to tune a car in 1st gear because power just comes on way too quick.

Yes it does matter what gear you're in, 1st and 2nd gear will have much different power graphs compared to 4th gear.

Take it to another tuner to get a second opinion. Maybe something was wrong with the car (i.e. detonation) so the tuner had to pull timing out of it, hence the low power?

Maybe there's carbon build up in your engine causing pinging, or a hot spot on the piston.

Take it to another tuner, if he tells you he couldn't pull anything more than 250rwkw without it pinging of its tits, then somethings wrong with your car.

The fun and games begin.

Yeah thats exactly what im going to do. He said everything was fine, that there werent any issues and was actually quite happy. Its not that i want more power, cause its fine the way it is. Its just that i believe that with this set up (barring any issues such as the ones you mentioned) the car should have pulled more than it did. As i said i really got the impression it was done in rush to get the car out of there, and im sure it wasnt tuned by Mark himself.. I'll be booking it in this week sometime elsewhere..just for peace of mind!

got same setup, apart from I got the 0.82 A/R. I have a VERY conservative tune (f#$k all timing, and running rich, knock doesnt go over 15) and I made 312 rwkw at 17 PSI.

I suggest you go see another tuner.

the 0.82 makes 300 easy the 0.63 does not.

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
