hey guys.
my names matt, and am completely new to the nissan scene.
have came from a subaru... so there is ALOT to get use to and such.. but i'm loving it!

traded my 03 XS luxury model Forster for a mint condition 96 S2 R33 with 133k on the clock. only mods on it so far are a 3 inch TBE with seperate wastegate pipe on the dump, HKS cannon, pod filter, GFB atmo bov, HDI boost controller w/ gauge and a set of ugly ass 20's :yucky:
but a clean swap for the forester, there was no way i was passing that up!! with more than double the power of what my forester had, i'm more than pleased with my purchase :D

went from this,

to this,

might want to fob off that atmo bov because afm car no like atmo bov.

yes its on the list of things to be removed. will be getting a plumb back bov amongst other things (fmic etc etc) then it will be off for a tune when i get the money.

out of curiosity what does it affect with the car?

the afm measures airflow going into the engine, using that information, tells injectors how much fuel to put int, while the atmo bov releases intake charge into atmosphere, which upsets the whole air flow measurement, so you overfuel.

that is my understanding.

ahh yeah well that might explain why my fuel consumption is dog shit lol.

need to get me a recirc. bov asap!

That can be a number of things... Find yourself a decent tuner that has an idea of what is going on and that should soon be sorted :)

GuiltToy (Anthony) is back tuning in Newcastle, Bellevue have a Mainline dyno now too... You can travel a bit further and see Jez on the Central Coast (He is a guru)...

My advice would be to avoid a certain shop... Starts with B and ends with lacktrack! Myself and many others were left with a bitter taste after being ripped by them in the past...

Enjoy the car and stay away from Newy on Thursday nights!

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
