Picked up my new r33 few weeks back, happy with the car..

Gave it a cut and polish. looks like new. removed the windcutters on the side,

car looks even better.. removed some rust from the boot and gave it abit of a spray wit black can paint. amazing wat you can do to increase the looks of ur car. also got a nismo oil cap and horn for free.

anyway, 1 problem i was having wit the car was like every 1 else. 5 and a half thousand rpm the car would start to puff* from the zorst.. feel power slightly stop. I figured it was the coils.. I took it to one of my mates work shops. the dude changed the coils and the car was boosting fantastic. after giving it abit of caining he said car is good to go. which it was. he charged me mates rates at $150 bucks for 20 minutes worth of work. i also realised that i have a missing electronic boost controller.. the vacum was connected straight running full 10psi. just like VL style. (does any 1 know how much a stock boost controller costs?)

anyway.. i was driving home from dandenong and gave it abit on the right pedal abit.. not even and hour later. the coil is fcuked. well its puffing again.

can any 1 let me know what is making me chew up coils so quick. (how much for a new coil pack?, ill be doing the next change myself?)

and just another thing. when ur cruzing and the doors auto lock. does the driver side door as well?. because i think mine has been disconnected.

here is a pic of my car before i removed the performance stickers.

yer thats the one. OKay guys took my car for a nice run after i reset the ecu.. looks like the problem is gone.. the car is also running better and my turbo timer is working sweet.. i just have to reply cos im so happy.

i think the ecu used my old coil settings and retarded the timing or something i dunno, but know its fine..

What the... $150 for 20 minutes work? I hope that was including the price of the coils! Although I don't think there was anything wrong with them, it's common for the stock ECU to over fuel in upper rev ranges and cause a lot of smoke to be let out. If it happens again and resetting the ECU doesn't help, don't change the coils. Get something to tune the ECU with instead.

    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
