Hey ya'll.

Ok heres how it is. I got a R33 GTST 93 model with a hybrid FMIC, 3.5" turbo back with screamer pipe and HKS Super Dragger muffler, turbo smart duel stage boost controller, HKS pod filter, NGK Irridium plugs, umm i think thats about it.

Anyway me and my mate have been playing around with my duel stage and we set the low stage on about 8-9psi and the 2nd stage at 15psi but second stage when hit makes a higher whistle sound but doesnt reach over 10psi and spikes so it goes to different levels. Just wondering if there is a stock boost cut or what could be the problem there?

Also is there a rev limiter at 7? because that just seems a bit low when it still seems to be powering along and my silvia i used to have cut out at 8 grand??

My car some times when you give it a flogging (especially at 2nd stage) sometimes seems to start to choke, Its as if it cuts out fuel or something i dont know? I was thinking i might have bad fuel (we dont have optimax here any more) so i chucked some Nulon pro strength octain boost through and it kind of solved it but the thing is it doesnt do it all of the time. I duno its confusing to me :rofl:

Lastly i want to be quicker, What would be the best options for me.

I was thinking of saveing up for a e-manage, and larger turbo (but dont want any more lag then i have already on stock).

What other alternatives do i have without braking the bank. I was thinking of getting another 2k out on my loan or just doing stuff over time.

Oh wait one more thing :wassup: I want some new lowered struts and springs with good handeling but not to rough. The silvia i used to own had koni adjustables i put in with lowered king springs, handeled really well but was just way to rough. I want something with a softer ride, good handeling, and a nice lowered height, Was thinking adjustables as well and once again not to much. Hopefully less then $1500.

Be great if people could help me out with my delemers haha

Cheers :D

What condition is the rubber boot in between the air filter nand the turbo? this could be sucking closed and causing some of the problems you mentioned. You are also likley to hit the factory boost limit unless you make changes to your ECU.

PS - yes there is a factory rev limiter

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
