I've got a handcontroller and Datalogit for sale too.

bammmmm

[Autumn33]

Hmm ill see what I can do

[DJRIFT]

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.

[zoidbergmerc]

FYI

1 bar = 14.5 psi

[Autumn33]

Cheers bud yeah it sits on around 4 on idle & when revved goes to 5 so ill have a fiddle & see how i go

got the afm today bud ill test that also you have pm

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.

[Autumn33]

no worries bud ill chuck you a pm tonight about the safc ,

ah ok thanks the car came with a crap load of drift guages, ill look into getting some new ones

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?

[jangles]

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

[Autumn33]

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.

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

If I pump mine up it'll stay pumped.

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

[GODZILLA-GTR]

might have air in the lines, definitely bleed them. ive had this problem before and that fixed it

[zoidbergmerc]

Steering or Brakes?

[Autumn33]

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

[zoidbergmerc]

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.

[Autumn33]

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.
