They lock them so no one can see their tunes, they did the same thing to my FC and Scott was able to get around it I would have expected more down low then that, you need to get someone else to tune

5 bucks says plugs are dripping.

Got them out, BLACK as, like black velvet , all of them :(

I guess you owe $5

Frankly it's not a big commendation of the quality of the tune.

I don't know much about tuning but i own and driven a car that i know for sure ran rich for a while and it certainly turnt into a slapper, not saying yours will, but it must create more wear so wondering if this is a running in strategy?? could it be or not..

umm no. running a motor rich while it is new is very bad for it, fuel in the bores causes glazing, preventing the rings from bedding in properly.

in bad cases it can need a strip down and re-hone to fix it.

This, excessive rich is bad, just not as bad as really lean

thats all I need :/

new plugs in and will not be driving it until they have a look at what is going on using the info I give them and connecting to the ECU and adjusting the tune.

yeah sorry, not trying to alarm just inform.

also the other issue for excessively rich tune on a new motor is fuel gets past the unbedded rings and into the oil...and petrol is terrible for bearings.

I had a chat to croydon about this build.

I want the same motor!

I think the motor is fine and once sorted it will be a very good all round DD , just frustrating :(

Why would you want the same motor

Can't afford it if you live on the central coast and need to take it there three times, petrol and accomodation is expensive. :rolleyes:

How rich does it need to be to foul plugs, and how rich to cause running in problems? Big or small difference? Hopefully rich enough to foul plugs doesn't mean rich enough to cause problems running in.

Accommodation or transportation are equally expensive and a pain in the arse, but that is my problem.

I would also like to know "how rich" is too rich and how long before it can cause damage? I see it can even contaminate your oil if it is bad enough and that cant be good!

It seems too lean or too rich causes problems, but rich seems to be preferred to lean

just about back to the original thread topic, my fuel is too rich and then once it is leaned out a bit, will it give a better power result..

I know now that after a short time with new plugs you can feel the car getting more sluggish and it is not long before it wont rev much past 6000rpm without playing up.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
