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

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
