Hey,
Without hijacking your thread lol,
what do you guys think of wastegate coming off the exhaust housing?
After getting my new kit (as pics attached) i have had a few comments both for and against.

Things to consider
dedicated track car, stock RB20DET motor, arp head studs, E85, 1000cc injectors, Nistune, 460 Walbro fuel pump direct wired. 
Turbo is a Pulsar G30-770, (AKA Pulsar GTX3071) .83 A/R, vband entry and exit with T51 mod
Turbosmart 45mm wastegate 14psi spring installed and includes additional assortment of spring pressures
Custom RB20/25 Tubular manifold with v-band collector ‘Prioritised” wastegate flow to avoid boost creep
Each internal join match ported for best flow (even the join you cannot see once manifold is built) “Steam pipe” coated in Ceratec hi-temp paint Conical expander coming out of EWG to 50mm. 50mm screamer pipe, 3” stainless “starter dump”. Turbo v-band welded to the tubing, 90deg elbow installed, flex bellow included

No objections, better boost control than say your typical 6Tits manifold with the gate outlet perpendicular to the collector followed by another 90 degree bend.

The welds look great too!

Was quite worried about missing the boat for a moment there. Palms sweaty, arms spaghetti and all that. Got one though. Looking forward to it!

The haul, just replacement clips and shit, ABS relay, gearbox dust shield, AC condenser drain, window guide, etc.

This R33 problem is worse than a cocaine addiction.

Did you actually get a fast Amayama order ?

Fast enough, I once ordered something from Perth and it literally took 6 weeks to get to my door.

I'm still waiting for that cam trigger from NZ for the white 32. How long did it take to get yours ?

At the time, I recall it coming the same week I ordered it!

But this was also when NZ Wiring was starting off, so not too sure.

So guessing no bmw purchase then.........

Loving that you are committed to getting this car back to better factory. Its all these little bits that make a street car nice.

Oh trust me, if someone came to me and said I'll straight swap you my F80 LCI Comp I would do it... beg for forgiveness later.

Mrs Dose Pipe said you're not allowed to sell the R33 because you're an idiot and will end up with another.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
