Oh i am absolutely stoked with the results. I had a chat with another skyline owner there i think he may be on here and said he has trouble cracking 14.4 in his turbo line. Sorry i havent had a chance to get the digital camera fixed yet but ill borrow a mates sometime during the week. Fuel pump is the stocko and it has absolutely no problems the car when nos is activated is very rich the A/F guage goes birzirk and the and everygreen bar lights up and nothing else so there is definately no prbs with the pump. My mechanic/boss told me they are VL pumps and are capable of devilering a fair amount of fuel though i cant remember exactly what hp he said there good for.

Where are all the others that said they were getting it?? it took me an hour and a 1/2 to put my kit in and that included removing stereo from my boot and looking after customers and the rest.

Cheers

John

mate theres plenty more to come, im so stoked about everything, im getting an rb30 block hopefully in the next week or so, my boss is gonna show me how to port and polish my head and were gonna wack that on hopefulyl within a month, so 3 ltr twin cam skyline very soon, then next on the list will be forgies and 200hp nos jets. I forgot to mention that before the rb30 block goes in ill have the crank balanced and the rods shot peened and replace the rings and bearings. After forgies will be microtech engine management and cams and then a long wait while i save to upgrade the brakes to 5 stud GTR brembo's and new mags. Then in a few years big custom plenum and some **** off big turbo when my insurance premiums come down some more but for the next year or so i think im gonna stick with a really tuff NA line.

Seeing the look on peoples faces when i tell them there is no turbo is priceless and beating vl turbo's with my NA line makes me feel even better (yes i did do it on sat at willowbank it was great, and this thing had like the biggest intercooler id ever seen and guages and all the knobo stuff).

Cheers

ive never actually had my car on the dyno, its always been street tuned by myself, or a good friend of mine (one of the best mechanics i know) as im only an apprentice. The car is sposed to make around 140hp at the crank stock so im assuming with nos and my mods its well over 200.

hehe sorry :Oops: bad assumption from your avatar picture

Gilmore RD, where abouts is that?

Also some q's

-Is NOS flammable? I herd somewhere it was just cold air and thought ..

-Where abouts do u plug it up to, and do you always have the tanks open or leave them closed untill your using it.

NOS in its own state is not flamable, hold a flame to it and nothing happens, the reaction occurs when it enters the combustion chamber and breaks down at 400 and something degreese to become nitrogen and oxygen, the extra oxygen being created in the combustion chamber is what gives it the extra power, its like a turbo but the pressure comes from within. Ill get some pics asap but the jet is just tapped into the plastic intake pipe newhere between the AFM and the throttle body. It is ok to leave the bottle open but i personally wouldnt recomend it for extended periods of time. Go for a drive for a day sure open up the bottle and go for a cruise but when u get home that night id be turning it off.

cheers

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
