once you paint that it'll look shmick as!

I provide the best in R33 body parts, as you can see in this example, it's come pre-wall tagged and pre-jap stained! If you buy your jeans already f**ked, why not your body kit! LOL!

few quick pics of my datsun with new wing mocked up into position. fixed the few little marks on my drivers side door today and brodie primed it up for me, he also painted his cooler for his GTR.

going to get my beastie painted up and kit back on in the next few weeks. got the oven booked. will get cage in it in a week or two.

getting there, bit by bit

thanks Jay.

scouted the globe for a wing I liked, well to be honest I dont 100% love any wing on a 33. I think the best overall looking wing is the S2 wing. GTR wing is not much chop even on a GTR, S1 is shite, stealth wing is overdone, okay on GTR drag cars. Anyways the point of is it is handling, aero grip. I want to dabble in super sprints and time attack and hill climbs and aero is something I want to play with.

car will be back together soon, will look okay with splitter etc all painted up. will get pics up when I'm done.

the beauty with wings is, they bolt on/off. this is the 4th wing thats been on my car over the last 4 years =)

if I wasnt setting the car up for light motorsports events I'd still have a stealth wing or S2 ;-)

cheers

finally put my new radiator in, fresh green coolant too :)

seems to be working at last but i'm not sure if i should change my thermostat, its a 78.5*c or something on and the stock one was 87 i think (r33'r run an 82)

i was going to put the 33 one back in but i couldn't find it and its not a genuine one (the opening looked smaller between the two)

little update vipec goes in this week also going to piss the cannon off and go twin 3inch stanless insted :D also .. i took my stupid flopping hks digital boost controller out and hooked the std one back up as the vipec uses that cleaned up the engine bay shit loads

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
