No all good :)

Have Daddy stuff to do so I will give a full rundown in the morning. I also have to check the water when it is cold to get a better idea if it is OK

Lost about 6KW but going stronger and seems a little more responsive :)

You blokes are really funny, I love it :cheers:

Well just checked the water and it is still warm but it seems OK, will wait until tomorrow when it is cold before i get excited .

The 4" Dump and 100 Cell cat was installed, (have to have a look at it as I do not know the size)

The Starter motor was replaced or fixed ?

The misfiring was addressed , gave it some work on the way home and all seemed good. I will give it a more vigorous trial soon.

The water leak seems to be sorted

The cost for this work = $0

Their communication is crappy but they backed up their work, well, in my experience.

I have no idea why there was a 6KW lose of power but it does not feel like it to drive, only took it to 7000rpm and loved it :)

Having trouble getting the dyno off the phone, try tomorrow, fn laptop hic hic

Be back in a few weeks as I think I will make a couple of changes, surge tank , fuel line and CAI pod cover and have the flex tune , but somewhere closer to home :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :action-smiley-069:

Nice to hear its all good now peter.

What turbo and what power at what boost ?

PT6262 CEA

 

Finally got a photo out of the phone

 

Luke , I do have a new set of AD08Rs on now, the old tyes had plenty of rubber but old due to the car sitting in a garage for 5 years they said they were 10 years old and to scrap them.

 

The car seems to drive the same up to about 3000rpm but stronger after that

 

Just checked the water and looking GOOOOOD :yes:

 

I will give it a bit of work over the weekend just to be sure.

 

Looks like I will have to put the surge tank in the boot but I use the car for trips I do not like the idea of taking up the space, is there any other way of doing this

^^^Mounting under the car means you don't need a lift pump.

380kw is plenty for the street. It will go very fast and so long as it revs out smoothly you will be very happy. ( I wish shops would produce dyno charts with revs instead of mph!)

I am intrigued by the way that the boost curve trends down. I thought it would hold at least 25 psi for quite a bit longer. Maybe that';s just how the turbo is or maybe its the wastegate or just the tuner.

Like the rest of your non- paying audience I am glued to this thread!

As piggaz mentioned underneath but in the 34 there's a spot in front where the spare wheel acher is.That's where I'm putting mine as I didn't want the smell of fuel for the back seat riders.

If you have a fuel smell you have a problem.

Nice PR for UE there Paul, get a $ out of it :)

Thanks for all of the ideas for the surge tank location, gives me some ..

If it is installed properly in the boot you should not get fuel smell in the car, right. I was just worried about having travel gear bumping around with the fuel setup :/

    • 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?
    • 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).
    • 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).
