The car in question is my s2 r33 with 3076 and all usual mods to support it

this weekend installed Tomei poncams,big can 18psi actuator and changed the split intake plenum gasket

-changed thew gasket as it always had a small leak,

-changed the actuator from my garret 1 bar actuator to the big can for boost reasons

-changed the poncams and set them up at the same timing

Now the car is not its self. when you tap the accelerator theres a delay until it reacts, doesnt go anywhere, it makes about 15psi on the boost gauge by about 3500 but it moves like its making 20kw

we though cam gears could be out by a bit, but there spot on, we tightened the actuator, re did all the clamps and intercooler piping, not sure what else it is. it feels similar to how it did off boost but it doesnt want to go anywhere. checking the CAS timing tomorrow but for now any ideas before we attack it again tomorrow?

thanks

And you're asking all of this and you know you need to check the base timing before anything?

Why waste our time?

Check the base timing then come back and tell us there is a problem. Also, get a retune.

obviously needs a tune. but this feels different to that.weve installed poncams into a neo 25 and rb26 and both have run without these issues, will check base timing and report back

thanks

edit: also even removing the vacumn hose off the actuator the car acts the same

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
