Had my GTR done at CRD too 3wks ago.....initially took it to bel and was not overly impressed...thought it would gain more considering the mods....Jim at CRD gained an extra 42kw and it was a richer mixture than bels. Bel did not adjust cams stating that it would not make a difference....well croydon proved that one to be wrong....it spools a lot quicker as well.

At the end of the day CRD has the 3rd quickest GTRs in aus. They are renowned for tuning race teams, curcuit drag, targa teams etc and have the experience more than any other tuner....the rest are all try hard tuners thinking there GTR specialists....only jim has contracts with racing teams and only jim has a Sh&it load of GTRs in his garage....

I used to hate CRD thinking they think theyre the best i tuned it previously with hills, unique, then bels then CRD...all i can say is CRD shiiiiiits on all of them and that is through testing experience...

You pay for what you get....simple.... you spend money to get your car modded then spend the money to have it tuned properly. With bels they charged $800 road and dyno (no cam adjustment as he stated was not needed) CRD charged $1200 (with cam adjustment and got an extra 42KW...worth the $$$ to me. Also safer set up with AFM and torquier at lower RPMs.

you be the judge...if you never had CRD tuned your car you'll never know the difference.

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
