You mean most of the time with the factory piping you will not have the issue.

Hearing it vs actually having it - are distinctly different in my opinion :P

It's well known that hard piping kits can cause the comp surge (using 2530's/garrett -5s) as the factory ribbed piping actually flexes a bit which can stop the problem from occuring at all.

There is lots to be said for some OEM stuff - and the intake piping is one of those such items.

And yes i understand factory piping doesnt look good etc, but it most certainly serves a clear purpose.

Yes Ash, and another bad thing about aftermarket piping is that it is one extra thing that the cops will pick on you for.

mmmmm elaorate...............

I would but it would point out my utter stupudity (see I'm not afraid to tell the world I f^$ked up)

Oh well I will then

Built motor, -5's, tuned by a mob which I thought new what they were doing, ingnored the compression surge (which the tuner pointed out as well), ignored the PFC flashing the exhaust light.....bang, crack on bore 5.

No I am NOT saying that compression surge was THE casue of the problem, but I am sure it did not help things overall.

Lets get back on topic now. ;)

Hang on... compressor surge was the reason given for your motor splitting a bore?

:P

You said it did not help things... it had nothing to do with you splitting a bore.

That was poor motor assembly, nothing more. Comp surge had zero to do with it, i don't even know why you'd mention it in the same sentence.

Same sentence or not, I was merely replying to a request from the topic starter to elaborate.

It was in the same sentence but it was not a cause of the motor failing. It was merely just another separate issue that I did not bother to fix.

Is that more accurate? Is everyone happy now? :P

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.

      I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
