At least a bleed valve would hold boost steady :P

I'm using a Turbosmart eBoost, in case anyone can offer any solutions or suggestions...

you could give your actuator rods a few mm more preload it will help hold higher boost levels... thats what i needed to do to hold 30psi steady, my base boost is now 14 psi with zero setting on my id3 blitz controller...

well done with those power levels so far...

hope this helps....cheers...

....More than enough for track work IMHO.

Now it's time to attack the car with weight reduction :P

:werd: ... As long as you are still making good power up top, i seriously doubt even guys with 400+rwkws will be able to match you coming out of a corner and have enough of a straight to catch and overtake between corners. ;)

Yeh now you need to rip off the HICAS, throw in some Kevlar seats and goa rac'n :headspin:

great results merli thats what we expect as well.

when does the boost start,and could you post a copy of your dyno graph,as i think everyone would like to cheack it out. how many kays did you put on it before the tune and who was it that did the tune if you don't mind?

dough boy do you think it could be the exhaust housing that could be causing the boost struggle.

another thing was that on the HKS web site they state that the SS's are ment to flow as much as the 2530,320hp each i think.

i don't know how true that maybe ,but i've also seen a HKS dyno graph the a set of SS's on a 2.8L and 274deg camed car pull 750HP at the engine!

has anyone SEEN! big figures from GTSS's.

Merli again great result

by the was we are using a blitz i-D boost controller if that means anything,seems good but it hasn't seen any boost yet so hard to tell.

merli, i had a turbo smart e-boost put on my gtr last week and its working really well, turbo's are spooling faster as its helps hold the wastegates shut for longer. make sure your gate pressures are set right, they tend to spike and fluctuate a bit if set to sensitive and make sure your over boost shut down is set atleast .2 bar over your max setting... see how that goes

I bought ours of Dough boy but i'm not sure if he will get anything more from japan otherwise i would have got them of nengun!

the kit comes with 2xturbos 1xexhaust gasket and the little hoses that you need and it shows how to install them as well.

i was just at supernats and saw joe but his RX-7 into the wall not a pretty site but he's OK.

his car is stuffed.

I just heard through the grape vine that merli/andrews R33 GTR which just made 300awkw just died at the race track, i heard that it threw a main bearing. or something i hope this isn't true as i couldn't think of a better drag, than a r33 gtr with the same turbos and the same cams.

Andrew can you tell us, what happened?

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.
