Hey dude,

I think EVL-33 (Brett) was considering selling some 33GTR seats. Not sure if he still is - Someone here might be able to help you contact him.

send me some pics of your 32 when you get a chance

Avram

Going pretty well :cheers: Im going to keep it the way it is for a while and hang onto my money, just been doing a few maintenance jobs. Thew a spiffy aluminium radiator catch overflow tank in though. You didnt leave me much to do.

Had a chance to do anything to the 32 yet apart from the above?

Unfortunately not yet,

they are a fat slow pig in comparison to my old / your new S13.

needs turbo/cooler/etc etc

have purchased a Apexi AVCR so I will screw up the boost in the weekend.

HEy, what sort of fuel economy (do I dare ask) were you getting from your r32? I am getting about 300k's per tankfrom a stock car????? something is amiss here! I know you dont buy turbos cars for economy but ouch! my bombed RX7 got 300k's and your silvia averages 400 k's!

what mods if any did you do?

Cheers

Christian

I agree, the rb20det was less than impressive without some major modification, unfortunately I never got to do that much. The only main performance mods were an i/cooler, full exhaust and the boost wound up to 12-14 via EBC.

300kms per tank sounds a bit ill for a stockie, but I remember my old r32 did drink quite a bit, it was on par with my V8. From memory it did about 350 to a tank driving hard on the occasion - Its been too long to remember accurately now though sorry. Hopefully someone else here can answer.

And yep, I am averaging about 400 when driving the silvia lightly - and that has big injectors, turbo, and fuel pump.

With Bride bolt on rails 138,000 yen ($1,717 AUS depends on exchange rate) plus freight with insurance which can be 45,000 yen for air $560 due to size and sea 6 weeks and 20,000 yen (dont quote me on that one) $248.

I would expect them to come in under $2,500 due to a single order, mine got a lift in a mates container so I saved their.

Worth every cent and were very easy to fit, pull the onld ones out to put the new ones in.

For the Stagea 4 bolts is all it took to mount the brackets to the seats.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
