Boys and girls,

I took my car to be dynoed as it has been running like a sack of sh%# lately at JPC in Thomastown (best guys ever).

My first run revealed 120 kw@wheels for an R33 with a full 3" exhaust, new turbo, cold air intake and boost, thats not very good at all.

Anyway after cleaning plugs, coils and playing around for two hours on the car I managed 140kw@wheels.

I have a lazy fuel pump thats on its way out and the boys on the dyno said that anything higher than 140kw starts to lean the engine out.

So, I need a new fuel pump. Any ideas, prices or places in Melbourne to get one??

I don't need a 500 horsepower pump. Just something for a mildly modified skyline

Warren, sorry I missed lunch I will go next time for sure. I'm having alot of people asking about JPC so here are their particulars below. I've been to a few shops and these guys are the best by far. I also have a friend that sells every conceivable part for imports so if you need anything then let me know. (he ended up supplying a GTR fuel pump for me)

They were fantastic. They know turbo cars backward. $88 for the full tune and they seriously spent 2 hours on the car.

They have a very attractive young girl (on P's) working there called Nicole. She answers the phones. She'll hand you over to the right person $88.00 for full dyno tune (3 runs), cleaned and re-gapped all 6 plugs, cleaned all coils. and did some other bits and pieces

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
