Just wondering...

We ***** an apparently "STOCK" R33 on saturday night. It looked pretty stock but who knows.

Our car has:

3" turbo back haust

Boost Controller (11psi high boost)

Blitz BOV and Standard (is this our problem??)

K&N Filter (were running a HKS one but it was too loud (and the foam was crumbling))

If the other was stock and we have this done to our car.. how could it be faster??

I had two in my car (including me) and he had 3...

I'm just shocked...

:eek:

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Best place to see what you can to is Willowbank on tune and race nights. Next being Wed 19th. Cost $27 for you, car and one other(pit crew). It's pretty casual and you get as many runs as you can fit in depends on how many cars are there. See you there???

Could be a number of things.

Weight (you had more people in it, my car is even slow with 3)

Clutch (yours may be slipping a bit )

Tyres (his may have been great off the line)

ecu (he may have had an aftermarket ecu which you can't see)

I wouldn't be to concerned abotu loosing, I used to get ticked off when I got beaten by gemini's and swifts but then I realised that so long as my car is running well then the fact is that the other person simply has a faster car.....bit like what people think when I beat them I guess, some spend more on mods than others ??

I'm not really *worried* or *stressing* about it its just that its a bit of a piss off really!!

I've gotta find myself a job before too long so we can keep the thing on the rod.

And Boostmeister... I had 2 people. He had three so weight wasn't really an issue.

The payments for the car actually come out of my pay in the way. The rego and insurance is coming out of my pay in the bank. The petrol goes on my credit card and then my pay pays the credit card off..

Are you trying to say that its his car I just think its mine??

my wife drive our car all the time I don't ahve a problem with it you should see thelook on her face when I winded up the boost.

now we have stock turbo she wants the power back.

so guess what hte turbo is being hiflowed

cheers

meggala

some times you just loose my car looks stock but has lots of goodies as well and no noisy bov either

Three different people told me this car was stock after all going over and looking under the bonnet. I didn't go look cause i wouldn't of had a clue what i was looking for!!

He only just got it a few days before that. So ...

What internal mods can be done that cant be seen that could make him fasT??

    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
