This car is very nice to drive and always puts a smile on my face. There has been no issues with this car at all, has not been on a race track (not including defensive driving / skidpan at Sutton Driver Training Complex) and have owned it since first imported in 2007 by Joel @ Excite Auto in Sydney. The car is not a daily driver since September last year as I had picked up a little run around with a tow bar. All servicing has been done by Trojan Motorsports on regular intervals and has also had the 100,000km service done. Engine, Transmission and Diff all run on high quality Motul oils. My engineering certificate was done by Ray Spence who is well known for being thorough in his work. The engineering report covers the FMIC, Exhaust, Wheels, Tyres and passes ACT Rego Inspections.

The price is negotiable and will sell for less without the Wheels and Tyres Combo. I have spare / original parts such as: Standard SMIC, standard diff, standard wheels with 90% legal tread, a larger cannon exhaust (not suitable for road use), an adjustable exhaust (not suitable for road use), standard Hicas unit, standard turbo, standard injectors, standard ecu, pod filter plus fibreglass enclosure, extra non-return flow FMIC with piping.

No joy rides or tyre kickers.

Hi, I have a few questions:

1. Could you please provide a dyno sheet?

2. Do you know if the eng cert is valid in NSW?

3. How much louder is the big bore exhaust?

4. What's the fuel economy like, and what kind of driving do you do mostly?

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply Ben, my subscription to this thread didn't let me know someone posted.

Yes, I can provide a dyno sheet: r33dynopsiforumwk1.th.jpg

I am not sure whether the cert is valid in NSW, sorry, someone else may be able to answer.

The big bore exhaust measured 94db at a random road side inspection.

The fuel economy is currently about 12.5lt/100 as it is no longer daily driven, on a trip down to Orbost, Victoria, I averaged 9.2lt/100. If I use a bit more right foot it can climb to 14 quite easily. The driving I most do is work and back which is about 23km round trip via Monaro Hwy (100km/h cruising speed). I don't work in the city so never really hit much stop start traffic.

Wow, that dyno curve is really flat! That would be about maxing out the turbo, right? Is that why the boost tapers off at the top of the rev range?

Also, forgot to ask, what's the clutch like?

BTW, 94dB is quite good methinks. I think the legal limit is 90dB, right? It's doubtful a cop would be able to discern the difference between 90 and 94db?

The fuel economy is quite impressive too. Mine is a stock auto and I don't do as well on the highway (high 9's, maybe low 10's) and around Penrith (semi-"city" driving) I'm getting around 13.5.

Thanks for the comments PM-R33!

I do have a later dyno print out somewhere from ESP Racing when SAU ACT had a dyno day which made 251 or 252kw @ 15psi. Just have to find it.

The clutch can be a handful if someone doesn't understand the way a button clutch engages (ie - my dad). Having said that, I love the clutch, it is softer than most button clutches (allows a little bit of 'riding' just to get you rolling in traffic).

Correct, 90db is the legal limit. With the larger bore exhaust on, the car sounds fantastic at full song. Even when I had it installed, I had no problems with police, it was only defected due to a random RTA inspection on the side of the road on the way to a SAU meet.

As for fuel economy, as with most cars, it really does depend on your driving style and the roads you drive on. I don't have any peak hour traffic to contend with on the way to work or home from.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
