Hey Guys and Gals.

Hows it going.

Im Tyler.

17yrs old. Yes still a p plater.

I have a 1994 R33 gtst. Love it and guard it with my life haha.

Yes im only a p plater but my dad and I have an attitude where stuff can sit around and be built into something special when im allowed to drive it.

We bought it about 6months ago and the engine blew up on us. So its in getting a forged engine and turbo upgrade ecu etc etc.

Been in the shop for about 2months. Going to be used as a weekender or fun car and occasionally taken to the track so I can give it a hard time.

Instead of blowing tonnes of cash on the car why not save up and buy a house and move out? Sorry for the sensible suggestion.....

Why are you going for forged pistons? Have you seen how much power stock pistons can handle?

My dad and I already have money for a house. We are just waiting till the right time and place comes along.

We only paid $3,500 for it. We knew the engine was gone.

It was running 25+psi we knew that was gone.

Its at the shop in Blacktown Nsw Meer Motorsport.

Mate this is my first post I hardly know how to use this whole site thing yet....

Don't stress about it. People on here get nervous about others doing the wrong thing by the licencing and road laws when it comes to Skylines. So maybe choose words carefully with that in mind.

Build threads are kept here.

      TPS voltage RB25DET

      By BASHERnissan · Posted

      Hi guys my TPS voltage is reading over 2v at idle.  My Haltech ECU is reading around 40% throttle position at idle also which is really strange. Note the actual throttle position sensor is brand new…    anyone have any experience with this or know how to calibrate it on Haltech ?

      Cas issue

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The OEM disk will not work on any AEM ECU, you need to use the one they made. You shouldn't have to flip the CAS or whatever you were describing, if you set the ignition sync offset correctly it can't backfire. Make sure you're using a spark plug lead on coil 1 instead of the timing loop to avoid weird issues with the timing light. Double check that your timing settings are actually correct, like is the 24 tooth configured correct or should it actually be 12 teeth for 1 crank revolution? I also found this: 305817248-AEM-Undocumented-Settings-v1-2.pdf

      Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).
