Yesterday I saw a WRX scoop on a R33 GTS25t. What is going on? Do people not know that WRX scoops belong on Subaru's, Lancers and Mirages. So I quickly dialed 000 for the ambulence to help me recover and the police to make an arrest.

Just in case you wondering, I'm still a little ill. I've been told by the paramedics that it can take weeks if not months to get over such a shock.

W out.

lancers and mirages with scoops!?!?!?

you obviously don't your cars either, it probably was a WRX with an aftermarket front bar.

If you didn't look close enough you'd have thought the Auto Project GC8 was a R34 GT-R. I also almost bought that car. (See attachment).

I was joking. i didn't call 000, that was a joke too.

I know my cars quite well. it was a stock R33. didn't even have an after market exhaust or after market wheels.

don't get me wrong, I don't mind the odd venting in the bonnet though think it to be a little ordinary when someone places a WRX scoop on the bonnet around 20cm from the windscreen. Firstly, the car most likely didn't have a top mount IC. Secondly, why would you want a Skyline to look like a WRX. I like WRX's but they are two totally different cars. I don't want Ferrari tail lights on my R33 (though I wouldn't mind the Ferrari in full).

lighten up evo.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
