My powerfc was tuned professionally and happily running the stock turbo for 4-5 years but the turbo has now parted ways, so i bought a hiflowed turbo, mistakenly thinking i could just keep the boost low and as long as it wasn't making more power than the stocker the tune would be roughly ok. Not the case, it runs really rich on or off boost(according to the wideband gauge)

Anyway now is not financially a good time for me to also get injectors,afm, heavy duty clutch plus the cost of another tune, so i was wondering (hoping) if anybody was willing to help roadtune the inj map to just get it running ok on say 10psi for now, i will get the afm now as its currently maxed out, but inj are only at 88% running rich so they can stay, i can offer some cash or a slab of your fav drink as payment for assistance offered, anyway just thought i'd throw it out there and sorry if it's offensive to ask such a thing from strangers.

a road tune requires a wideband 02 sensor and a competent tuner or a competent fiddler

its probably better off being done with a proper tune

if you plan on doing tuning yourself on your car buy a wideband 02 sensor and install it permenantly

then you can do it yourself

Yes i have already fitted the wideband i will need datalogit or fc hako and a suitable software program or if someone already has thise items and are willing to help then that would save me the trouble, otherwise where can i get the software from?

Your PowerFC is already tuned, it will just need a touch up tune because your boost curve has changed with a new turbo.

Make it safe, or you'll be spending a lot more in the future trying to get it running again.

I'll ask but i know on there website status state they don't adjust other peoples tunes they do a reset and start from scratch, i assume most would want to do the same, afterall new turbo and afm would be seen as major modification.

You could always ask a few tuners what a quick run-in tune would cost, something that could get you around on low boost until you save the rest of the coin. If they know you are coming back to pay the rest and finish the tune, they may be ok with it... It's worth asking anyway.

Something tells me Trent may be a little busy at the moment. :P

How long did it take before you could acess that online user group? They just ignored me after buying from them and sending through my activation email. :/

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
