Hey folks!

I'm Brandon, long time lurker. Bought this r33 Gtst series 1 1994 back in 06 with 70k on the clock used to be Burgandy was resprayed black before I got it(including all that rice! :P). Few basic mods cat back 3inch and an apexi pod filter. Kept it pretty stock and lived most of its life in the garage/daily run abouts. Resprayed in phoenix yellow with gold pearl in 2010, changed rims around the same time. Got the itch in 2016 to fix it up after the radiator had a small leak and I managed to rip the front bar off, after it got caught over the lip of a gutter while parked.  Cleaned up the interior and replaced the drivers side seat, passenger one is still sitting in the garage for when I have some spare time. Stock stereo replaced with a double din kenwood, rear stock speakers replaced(could see sunlight shining through from the parcel shelf in to the boot ;/ ) boot tidied up and reupholstered. still need to cover the dash surround as its coating has peeled off over time in the Aussie summers and replace the steering wheel.

 Now running a sidemount nismo cooler, bc racing coil overs, hicas lockbar fitted and boosted to 10psi @197kw on stock internals and ecu 208k on the clock still going strong. Tuned by the boys at GarageWorx in Vic Hoppers Crossing. In getting the clutch replaced today. Few too many kms and hard starts I guess and it had started to burn its face off smelt horrible.

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a replacement steering wheel? Since I don't need an airbag as stock wheel doesn't have one I can kind of use whatever, I believe I'm still required to have the middle covered (no exposed metal)? Would also like something not as large as the stock wheel, as it touches my thighs on entry/exit.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
