Hey.

So ive got a r33,rb25det..

Just installed bigger turbo,the closest i can compare to would be garret 3071r.

Power fc

external 38mm turbosmart ultragate

Z32 afm and 580cc injectors...

After a huge f**k around with getting it tuned,when i was assured i would have it back same day,it finally got done.

Got 326.6hp at wheels..boost is spiking at 18,and droping back to 15 by redline..

Quote for tune was $500,ended up costing $750.

Now after driving the car around for a few weeks,im noticing it kind of hesitates sometime when light on the throttle,seems to cold start fine,but then other random times it cranking over for 10sec or more and just coughing to life..hot or cold..

Also had to wind the boost down the other day as engine light had been flashing on,and was advised it was detonating..

I know the car's not perfect,but think it mite be worth my while getting the tune looked at by someone else..

Im living near newcastle..so anywhere around here or sydney..

Also any advise is also welcome

cheers

What turbo precisely? It seems like there is more to the story.

I would spend more time talking to your tuner before getting too far ahead. Ask more questions about why the car seems to be pinging, why it is hard to start etc.

If you have done this then what was their response?

yes common sense prevails here please

far too often we see people go get a tune, and any tiny isssue is a mega 6 page thread about the workshop being crap and a rip off before the guy spends 5 minutes talking to the workshop / tuner. please discuss with the workshop and let them address the issues. if you dont want to go back to them, goto another workshop for a 2nd opinion

have a look on your powerfc at the knock/detonation. mine never goes above 20 on 98 oct but when i have only been able to get 95 oct it has gone up to 60-80ish. think the light comes on at 100 or more from memory. make sure you have low numbers

turbo is a billet...i rang mr turbo on the goldcoast to try and track down the exact specs of the turbo,he said it would have similar spec wheels as a garrett 3071r... with .63 rear housing

I cant check knock as i dont have a hand controller for the computer,which was a problem in its self as tuner said his software wouldnt recognize my computer,saying it must be too old,so i borrowed a hand controller so he could tune it,which he did through the controller..

Boost is spiking because of crap bleed valve..two ways of fixing that is:1. another spring in the wastegate to run 18psi,or 2 get an electronic boost controller...?

Im not naming the tuner as i dont know for sure it's a tune problem....

Cheers

my GTR has to be tuned with the hand controller too, trust me my tuner HATES doing it with the hand controller but the datalogit doesnt connect with all POWER FC's. mine is an older model FC i think.

nothing wrong with tuning with the hand controller its just more time consuming and more fiddly going in and out of menu's

hand controller tuning is fine and has been the std for god knows how long?

its only in the last few years workshops have got onto datalogit as mainstream

datalogit makes it quicker and easier (less cost) and lets you be a bit more picky

but there would be hundreds of well setup quick cars with hand controller tunes

go back to the place who tuned it

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
