yeah that's weird, because standard they are 7PSI, but as soon as you remove the exhaust restriction the boost bumps up alittle bit, usually stock to around 8-9psi.

Can I ask why you're only boosting 7PSI? I'd be up around the 10-12PSI mark myself with your mods.

ummm stock boost levels are all the same... they dont vary unless the boost has been uped from factory, its not like nissan said... yeah k this one can have 7psi and that one can have 8... lol.

and yeah 12psi is the max the stock turbo can handle before it goes boom i was told, even with an fmic and such they recommend not taking the factory turbo past 12psi.

JaR - When will you start to modify your car? Are you still running the factory boost solenoid? You are aware of how to remove the 2 stage boost from factory? That mod was a goodie... :)

as soon as i get it back ( its gettin re-sprayed at the moment ). umm nah lol, but wasnt there a tutorial on here about how to do that??? had pics and all was really detailed from memory...

and I am sure they also told you that 12psi or more, and the ecu goes onto the rich and retard maps? Dropping off about 30rwkw - 40rwkw, making your car surge like a bitch.

10psi is the best performing, until you get a better ecu.

So 10 psi,Turbo back exhaust, filter, fmic, power fc. would anything else be required if someone does these mods?? Like fuel pump,injectors etc?? Im wanting to do the above mods but want to make sure I do it the right way first time round with all the required equipment to make the car run safe but with alot more power.

My series 2 has similar mods to urs. Turbo back exhaust, FMIC, power FC, pod (did my own piping to get some more cold air in near the pod bcoz of the crap boxing it in) and bov. It handles 11-12PSI no sweat. no spikes etc. I havent intalled a boost controller which i been meaning to do. Just make sure u get your chip mapped spot on and you'll be sweet.

I heard stories about maybe upgrading the fuel rails or pump to be able to feed it high up in the revs. I gave it a go and found it didnt make that much of a difference. I was prob running rich, and didnt really tune it but it went fine without. Spose u dont want to be pumping to much juice in it these days anyway. Petrol prices are doing my a$$ in.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Jarsky · Posted

      This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm.

      Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
