The temps definitely sound reasonable then.

 

Its probably a good thing to tune with the bonnet down. At least you get a semi-real world environment with real under bonnet temps and then you know it won't ping once you get it on the road.

makes a lot of sense :uh-huh:

Just out of curiosity what would an R33 turbo's boost pressure be running at on an RB20? With a pod and catback exhaust?

With an R33GTST wastegate actuator 7 psi, with an R32GTST wastegate actuator 10 psi.;)

PS; I don't know about you but I don't drive around with my bonnet open. So I like my cars to be tuned as I would drive them.

But its too hard to tune a car when its sideways hitting walls or on fire:(

"Sideways", yep I have certainly done that.

"Hitting walls"., yep I have done that.

"On fire", I think you are much better at that than me

But I have done "roll over" only once but it was a good one, 7 times, 4 side to side and 3 end for end. Great ride, but don't want to do it again, I can still close my eyes and see sky, track, sky, track, sky, track, when will it stop.

:)

Ok...because I am indulgent, and finally have some footage fo the old girl enjoying what she does best...:)

Right Click Here_Save As

Will need to save as instead of playing if from the host site:)

This was running 18psi and 8,400rpm:) You can hear when it falls off boost and for these sorts of events you have to make sure you keep it above 4,000rpm

Understeer...lol. Combination of being hopeless at these sorts of events, hand brake that has never been tightened so didnt really lock the rear tyres...though i probably would have kept losing it if it did work:(

Then the hammered 17" semis on the rear with the 18" Falken 326s on the front meant the car felt pretty horrible but realise i still have plenty to learn:)

That vid looks like how my car handles now Roy with it all tuned up....difference is mine runs 1 bar, and only revs to 6000rpm  

Nice footage though  

And to wheel spin off the mark you only need a few hundred rpm over idle. :)

Pipe down 3L boys, this is a RB20 thread lol!! ;) j/k!! :rant:

Good work Roy, you did a good job mate, nice way to advertise the ol' girl, download a video of it being driven hard! You still selling it?

Yeh, it ran out of rego yesterday...so the next few days its getting new headlights, guards and windscreen and re-spray, 12 months rego then im going to advertise it everywhere...

To be perfect it needs the diff shimmed up as it has finally started open wheeling and it needs new tie rod ends...other then that it is pretty right....next year i will get a GTST as a strictly registred track car...my EVO II R32 GTST:) and it will be a marked improvement over my current car:)

Good stuff mate, are you going to keep your turbo setup?

Will be a shame to sell it after its all pretty again! A decent diff makes a world of differance, get a 1.5 or 2way in your EVOII :)

Pipe down 3L boys, this is a RB20 thread lol!! :) j/k!! ;)

Well....i started with an rb20 :rant:

next year i will get a GTST as a strictly registred track car...my EVO II R32 GTST:) and it will be a marked improvement over my current car:)

Why not use the car u have now? ;)

Why not use the car u have now? :)

Because too many parts on it are too much a street compromise, adjustable bushes instead of adjustable arms, streetable springs/shocks instead of track orientated gear, nice stereo etc..to replace them or sell them 2nd hand would mean losing too much money on gear that is in perfect working order and ideal for street and occassional track work.

2nd time round its going to be the schnitz, and still of course use an RB20, just a different hair dryer and some cams:)

best to start again.. When you know where you are aiming, you should have no problems.

GTS4 ? too heavy.. too much other crap to go wrong/blow up... stick with the RWD! I thought about it.. could of got a GTS4 for same price, in the end, still glad I got the "t" ..

    • 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.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
