Hi, I have an r33 gtst s2. I have only had it for nearly 2000kms driving. In that time Ive noticed a loss of power off the mark. Turbo seems fine it really kicks in, but just on initial take off. B4 the r33 i had a Vette so this sort of problem was easy to fix. Is there any way to tune this area. It had a service when I bought it, also the air filter was cleaned. Running BP ultra for the 1st time in it, after running it only on optimax.The tank was almost empty when I changed fuels, does it matter if there is a bit of a mix. Sorry bit new to all this, but definitely enjoying the r33 experience?

Might be worth resetting the computer. Disconnect the negative terminal on the battery and put your foot on the brake. This drains the power to the computer. Then reconnect and take for a good hard drive. The computer should then go through a re-learn sequence - a lot of people do this when making any change - from airfilter to intercooler to fuel changes. Some people notice a difference although I didn't when I did it. Mixing fuels won't hurt it driving normally.

I did as you said last weekend and it made a considerable difference. The car even sounded a bit different. Thanks for the info. A strange thing happened, my rear tyre was dead flat but after pumping it up it stayed up! they are 17 inch gtr rims. I guess it wasnt seated properly. I remember having to drive over large cobblestone road maybe that was the cause.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
