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

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
