Hi

[traceysr33]

hi guys

we bought our 1st skyline yesterday

r33 gtst stock and well looked after

really enjoyed the drive home up the freeway

i have previously owned a heavily modded vyss and our main car is a 2010 d22 navara heavily modded

will be lurking around forum hoping to get some help and ideas along the way

1st issue is to get her running right

seems to hesitate at 5000rpm

i suspect the new manual boost controller is not doing its job

as soon as the sun comes up ile have a look

then i might spend the rest of the day behind the wheel

a visit to the local dyno is also on the top of the list

any recomendations for a good tuner/mech in the newcastle area??

cheers

ian and tracey (its the wifes car)

welcome guys!

congratulations on the new addition.

when you get time, would love to see pics.

as for tuners up there, dvs_jez would be the way to go.

alot of positive feedback from customers.

and can I recommend joining sau.nsw...

one of the cheapest cams affiliated clubs, discounts to our events, and special events just for members.

hope to see you on some cruises.

next closest to you will be the putty rd cruise.

check out the events thread in nsw section for more details.

Welcome

some pics

it goes in for a tanami exhaust today

previous owner needs a bullet for his attempt at exhaust

fitting new slotted rotors and ebc pads soon

then a set of coil packs,hopefully that stops the misfire above 5000rpm

then a set of 18's

then ile throw it on a dyno

we dont want to overdo it as its the mrs daily driver but i will go with a frontmount soon

any info on above mods appreciated

cheers

If you want rotors Timmy is selling some brand new DBA4000s cheap, PM me for his details.

Newcastle doesn't have much in the way of performance mechanics at this stage, the boys at Bellevue at Sandgate can do some stuff for you but as mentioned, JEZ is the way to go for tuning... There is a place listed as Blacktrack, please do not go there if you like your car and bank account.

Car looks good, hope you enjoy and also hope you come join the club with events etc

[traceysr33]

not happy with the exhaust

interestingly the miss above 5000rpm has gone??

but it has no exhaust note at all

3'' turbo back x force going on next week

pm sent re rotors

who or what is JEZ?

sandgate want $400 for dyno run

A dyno run for $400? I wouldnt bother in Newcastle to be honest.... DVS JEZ is one of our good members and a NSW EXEC, he also happens to own DVS Tuning which is handy as a large portion of our local members use him! Actually quite a few travel quite a distance to see him! Either send DVS JEZ a PM or add him on Facebook and send him a message, great guy and always willing to help, he is very very busy due to demand but will always get back to you.

Remember that Newcastle cops are cracking down on anything import or related and will hassle you for noise... So try keep it close to the legal db if you can to avoid hassle.

yeah they have no sense of humour

was defected 3 yrs ago with vy ss for noise,its legal limit was 91db and i went 107db ( xforce 3'' and extractors)

cop was a wanker, i wasnt even on the throttle,i think the young prick was jelous

what is the legal db for the skyline??

and are pillar mounted gauges illegal?

i have a set in my navara and havent been hassled

the skyline has a small boost gauge mounted on pillar

i believe the db is somewhat set to cars build year,hope the turbo back xforce passes cause its sitting in the shed and will be fitted saturday

another question

i hear bad stories about a/market bov's,are they worth the hassle?

thanks for your time guys

appreciate it

I sent Tim your details in regards to the brakes

The legal Db is 90db for skylines i am pretty sure! In saying that we got an EPA defect for a Diesel landcruiser SO try keep it quiet to avoid unwanted attention up here! It sucks i know!

Pillar gauges are deemed a no no too!

Aftermarket BOV are a cops pet hate, so are pod filters... So by doing the airbox you have fixed one thing BUT if you add a BOV you are back to square one, my advice is.... dont!

[34GeeTeeTee]

One more thing, Can you extend the hoses and hide your boost T on the inside of the airbox by any chance? If you can, it will help!

[traceysr33]

if we get a noise defect i will fit a varex

i will relocate boost gauge to keep the filth happy

i have spoken to tim via text and will purchase his rotors shortly (spent 2600 yesterday,the play fund is kinda low atm)

the car will be driven by the mrs 90% of the time and she drives like my nanna so hopefully she will be ok

thanks again for the helpfull info

Varex will still cop you a defect if they are in the mood... You cant pass an inspection with one of them fitted! BUT if the car is clean and quiet there is a good chance they will leave you alone!

Glad you got in touch with Timmy!

was going to say this.

varex are tested at full open, so if too noisy, still a fail.

a few pics of exhaust fitted

fuel pump issue seems to be sorted

thanks to those who helped
