So i've got a R33 GTS-T With:

Silicone Cold Air Intake Pipe

Fujitsubo Geiken 3" Stainless Exhaust

Stainless Dump Pipe

Yellow Jackets Coil Packs

BMC Air Filter

My question is;

I want to tune the car with all this + wind stock turbo up to 12 Psi

Can i get a flash tune? or does every skyline have to use a Power FC to be tuned??? Its not just a matter of taking it to a tuner and saying ok go for it??

cheers!

What? If you want someone good go to Status tuning. Don't go to other websites suggested tuners or workshops. I personally have never heard of spring motors(being from Sydney) but I have heard of the names of popular tuners which get used on here often. Status is the first one to come to mind down that way.

I'm not going to say that the other tuner suggested by the liberty forums is shit, just its a name I am unfamiliar with when it comes to this forum. The general consensus is: If its on this forum and given the go, its good for your skyline. People don't trust eBay turbos because they are unknown and untested BUT if you read on here about the Kando turbo, which is essentially an eBay turbo, they are given the thumbs up and alot of skyliners are getting into them. You ever mention the name hypergear to anyone who doesn't drive a skyline? They won't have ANY idea what you are talking about. Then come here and find a 200page thread on this turbo and every step its taken to be developed into a pretty awesome turbo for the skyline.

GTI forums, my mate was showing me. Some weird name of some guy who does backyard tuning and my mate was like take your skyline there. I was simply like what the f**k, WHO the f**k IS HE? Some backyard guy working on my skyline? He might know his way around a GTI but I won't let him near my car. Toshi on here is a backyard tuner, probably one of the best tuners you could come across in Sydney. Horses for courses.

or just get PFC from the classifieds..personally i wouldnt bother with either cause you are relying on too many 20 yr old parts.....I'd go see Hypergear with a couple of grand and invest in a cheap boltin hiflow and a brand new adaptronic ECU package then go see Chequered tuning..( the artist formerly known as STATUS )

will yield you less headaches, faster car and value for money all round..

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups.

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      By jez NF · Posted

      75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.

      Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.
