okie dokie, its raining now so im stuck inside :(

so I got the adaptronic in, came pretuned so I just set injector size made some adjustments to injector deadtime as advised..

Started first kick and idled away nice, few revs and it seems ok, no smoke, exhaust doesnt smell rich at all,..fuel pressure sitting on 3 barish..cheap gauge tho, could be dodgey..

then after it warmed up it starts to hunt around rather randomly too, has huge flat spot if you try squeeze on the gas a little and a bit of a miss..

Anyways Im kinda stumped, any ideas??

:cheers:

NRMA, thats who I use for free towing :)

Yeap. A good insurance policy with road side assistance will come tow u for free if u break down.

So push the car outside and create a problem the NRMA guys will not be able to fix (disconnect the fuel pump or something). Ask them to tow it to your mechanic of choice.

NRMA = RACV (yiew mate jason from RACV - get it every day at work)

Can't you drive it without giving it petrol? Just cruise it there. Or get your wide band and do some auto tuning! I think you can with that ecu. when you let it go cold again does it start and seem fine?

well that is the plan :glare:

was hoping to get it in a roughly driveable state first..so I can drive it there..

I could just call a towtruck but thats kind of a fail..

The only fail you will experience is if you don't get it towed there. If you don't know what you're doing with the tune, you could make your tuner's job harder later if you've changed something he's not expecting.

If you feel the need to learn new things, accept everything that comes with it, including paying double

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
