To start with 6500rpm is nothing. A 304 holden v8 will do that. In all seriousness when a capacitor shits itself in your tacho circuit it actually does read 9k or more all the time. Sometimes it work

The issue with setups like that is it is nothing nothing, wheelspin! So you never really get a good shove in the set unless you have awesome tyres.

Almost like that. There is a spot where it has about 5 to 10 psi and it goes pretty good there too without spinning the wheels. Also it is reasonably easy to control the boost with the throttle. But a good set of tyres is definitely need past 200 rwkw.

I have an auto, so will be sluggish off the line until 4k then it will be on like donkey kong lol

I reckon you get the best of both worlds. Good fuel economy cos its not too often that it is at 25 psi or so and good power when it is.

So how many rwkw is 5.07 volts on a z32 afm approximately? I heard they max out at 360rwkw. I'll know soon anyway after it gets on the dyno.

Don't believe in warming it up first? :P

Lol it got a bit of a warm up. It was 68 degrees. I was waiting for someone to spot that. biggrin.gif

How did it go compared to your car? You have 260 rwkw don't you?I have read quite a few different things about the max power the z32 afm can handle. Now it has me wondering how much mine has got. blink.gif

Yeh I've got 260 currently, I'm sure yours would smoke mine man, though my semi's may give me a leg up :P

Did you clip the limiter? Knock seems a little high as well

I think it may have just touched the limiter. EDIT: I thought I set it to 8500 but it might have been 8200. The knock is usually under 15. But then the revs are usually under 7600 too.

This particular time it revved to 8183 rpm.

hi mate, could you please tell me how you installed the shift light? i have one at home that is the same an sick of having it lying around lol

Mate it is an ordinary tacho install. Signal wire, 12v, earth and lights. You adjust the shift light by pressing and holding the button.I did a youtube video on how to do this. Look for my videos at Iamroom42 on youtube.

Here is a look at my hand controller. Its a stock internal rb25det hitting almost 8200 rpm at about 26 to 28 psi through a gt35r. I raised the rev limit to 8500.

So what does this prove exactly apart from that it can be done? Given the last 2 pages basically have nothing to do with the question.

End of the day you push the stock bottom end power/RPM wise - it is a matter of time before it fails. Just because yours is fine at the moment is no testament to anything in the reliability stakes yet.

Do that consistently, for 3+ years and 40,000kms, with more than 4-5 motors - then call it reliable all you want.

Set rev limiter just above peak power/torque. with stock engine + turbo + power FC this was below 7000rpm for me. no point reving the engine to 9000rpm if it stops making power at 6000rpm

Sums it up perfectly.

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.

      @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By MissMintyR33 · Posted

      Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.

      One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
