Ah ok then, the fpr has a gauge if that's what you mean I think it sits on 4 -5 psi I don't know about them tho

they shouldnt be tampered with unless you have a wide band oxy sensor ect

But the base fuel pressure should be around 3.5 bar. and rise under load.

if its 4 or 5 bar (big difference) than its probably squirting 10-20% more fuel into the car.

you have 2 options. replace the reg with the stock unit or wind the pressure back. do this at your own risk as you also have the potentual to lean the motor out by doing this as well. if it was my car id have a play with it and see.

Hey autumn I have a safc2 for sale, 250 delivered as new condition with all wiring etc. This will allow you to tune your fuelling and run a z32.

Also if your relying on a drift brand air fuel ratio gauge to tell you what the cars tune is like, your headed in the wrong direction. One of those gauges won't tell you much at all, you need a proper wideband a/f monitor.

I've got some interesting problems with my R33.

Problem #1 When I brake the pedal goes straight to the floor, then upon having a 2nd stab at the brakes it'll be fine, good feel and pulls up fine. Giving the brake a left foot chicken tap before braking doesn't seem to help.

Problem #2 with the brakes, when I'm doing a burn out and having the left foot on the brake the pedal get really hard and pushes my foot off the brake and eventually the brakes stop working and the car will just go forward. (obviously doesn't want to do skids lol)

Problem #3 Steering is really really heavy sometimes, all morning at drift practice it was f**king and the car didn't self steer at all, not when sliding, not when transitioning, not when crusing around the corners in the no drift part of the track, you turn, the wheel will stay at that angle until you change it, and it's so heavy only the hulk can steer it. This problem randomly went away in the afternoon of the drift festival but came back when unloading the car off the trailer. Car is a NA conversion so it doesn't have HICAS.

Suggestions?

I'm thinking the braking problems could be because the NA Brake booster doesn't like being turboed?

probabaly silly question, but have you checked and bled the powersteering fluid?

Checked yes, Bled no, that's this weekends job.

that sounds just like my brake problem.

you can pump them up to hard. Then as soon as you take your foot off its soft as shit.

If I pump mine up it'll stay pumped.

Yours sounds like leaky lines. Had that problem in old Suby wagon.

ive bled them but still no go, did it again yesterday, might look into some braided lines or something :)

Are you doing it right? I remember trying to do it on my old motorbike and constantly f**king it up but not knowing any better.

whats the right way?

i do it like this

pump the pedal till its hard then get who ever to open the caliper nipple then they close the nipple once the pedal has hit the floor

is that the right way lol

1# bleed your brakes

2# you need to have a 1 way valve between the booster, and the plenum. You either don't have one, or it's stuffed (pretty commen), one way valve will fix your problems. But remeber, the booster can only hold so much vacume, so depending on the lenth of time your on the brakes, your pedal will get harder.

3# could be your rack, and/or pump.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
