Auto Skyline with 10-11psi, 3' cat back and pod = 136 rwkw. Just got it dyno recently and haven't had any problem boosting to 10 psi.

I don't think it is the auto box you have to worry about just yet, but more you turbo because of the ceramic thingy. I think it depends on the condition of your turbo, not long ago I read another thread that some guy blow up his turbo and he was running the same boost as everyone else here.

If you search this forum (or SDU's for that matter) you'll find quite a few threads on how much boost to run on an R33 turbo, about 12psi seems to be as high as you wanna go is the general concensious (sp?) I think. Some turbos simply last thou even at 18psi plus, where as I've seen some fail at 12psi... back pressure, heat, clogged oil or water lines, theres a few factors involved.

As for setting the timing, on an R32 and possibly the (series one) R33 theres a little loop of black wire which goes into the ignition amp, this is for coil/cyl 1 and some timing lights will work off that, but its not very accurate. Removing your centre cover to get access to the coils, and then lifting coil 1 is the better way. You just put a short HT lead between the coil and spark plug and use a timing light off that. Much more accurate. Factory timing should be about 15 degrees BTDC.

My first (R32) Skyline wouldn't go past this without detonating, my second R32 Skyline would run 20 degrees even at 1.1 bar without issue. What my R33 is running I have no idea as my timing light packed a sad I just turned the CAS slightly counter clockwise and listened carefully for any pinging... I'll check it properly later but the quick and nasty way is advance till you hear it ping then back it off slightly.

Btw, remember to keep the coil grounded when checking the timing when using the HT lead. You will also need to unplug the TPS definately in an auto, unsure with a manual, but I think thats still the case.

My auto runs well at 180rwkw (a bit of a disapointing fugure)

I run 13 PSI, a PFC, FMIC, 3" exhaust and rising rate reg. My injectors are now at 70% (so i have plenty of room to increase power)

I am hoping a HKS2530 turbo will get me a lot closer to 250rwkw. I will also include a trans cooler and an electronic line pressure switch to make for crisp shifts and a cooler trans.

such low numbers for those mods ... 136rwkw ... i've seen manuals get 180rwkw ...

think you got something mixed up, dont think ne r33gtst with cat back and pod filter at 10psi has 180 kw at the wheels

more like 150-160 max

dont forget that you will always have less power through stall converters compared to clutchs for manuals.

eg your average 160rwKW should be 175 through a manual trans.

i am running 9 PSI on mine with 170rwKW. running rich as well as i have stock ECU.

auto, but mind you. SHE is a bullet

Well to give you an idea hippy, the dyno I went on my car made 136 rwkw, but I saw an R34 GTT (manual) stock on the same dyno and made 115 rwkw.

Then another R34 GTT went on with exhaust only I think and made 125 rwkw.

So I can't be too disappointed with my figure.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      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.
