Hey SAU first post here :)

Just want some advice as dont know a huge amount about skylines. I just went for a drive in my r33 gtst and just had a quick loss of power almost like a complete cutout of the motor for a second. Im running standard boost and car is completly original besides a K&N pod filter. Currently it is extremely hot here in SA probably around 44degress outside so not sure if it has anything to do with it cause it was doing it at higher revs when i put my foot for a second. A friend told me about heat soak or something on hotter days. Could it be doing R&R or was risking detonation cause of the hot day so ecu was protecting the motor lol. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. The car only did it once just then and hasnt done it since.

Thanks SAU

I had to drive on Hume Highway in 2012 on the day of the big bushfires..........48'C. I couldn't go over about 85km/h. Oil and exhaust temps would just soar into the danger zone if I did. Actually had a Highway Patrol car follow me for 30km waiting for me to do something wrong and just as I came into Holbrook - and it was two way traffic - a 4wd going north caught his interest so it was lights on and a quick U turn and he was gone. My aircon actually stopped working it got that hot!!!

So I'm with Kinks, poor Skyline being boosted on a 44'C day!!! Remember your Skyline is an old car 10-20 years old in fact. Have a look around you and see what other 15 year old cars look like - most are ready for the tip!!!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
