Get a compression test done just to be safe.

As for handling I find that when fanging around corners, if the back snaps out, keep foot on throttle and use half as much lock opposite. The front will hook the front wheels into where you want to go. Hairy at first but it takes a little to get use to.

hi andrew,

u dont need a power fc unless ur upgrading injectors/turbos.

the standard unmapped ecu is good for 270kw +.

weve done a few lately with this sort of power on standard ecu.

u may need a fuel pump though,above 250kw is a little risky on standard pump,nothin worse than a top end lean out.

u may need an adjustable reg above 250kw.

250kw-mid 12s ,come on meggala.only if ur grannys driving.

250kw is good for mid to high 11s if u know what ur doin.

both costas and shauns r32 went mid to high 11s with this sort of power.:) .costas standard ecu and i think shauns to.

dont worry andrew when u pick it up from me after ive had it tuned for you ,it will rip anything up your way in the sticks.

Yeh I found out the hard way that the ATTESA will only be active if you have your foot on the throttle. It is a bit hairy the first few times cos your natural reaction is to back off but if you do that you'll get understeer..... when in doubt.... power out :)

The R33's dont look as good in silver for some reason.

really?

Dean: yeah I dont intend on a power fc for a while, maybe the same time as turbos, which will definitely be a while.

Did you say that the adjustable fuel reg was part of the tune up you do?

The only other car around here that might give me a go is another GTR. A silver R33 GTR, but i dont think its even modded much at all.

400hp: that does look sexy!

Kamikaze: those bloody kids on their tricycles! hahahaahaha

Man Id love to come down for a hoon around a race track. When I get it, Ill hafta catch up and come down for a visit.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
