Hey guys, i recently installed new plugs, about a month ago, anyways, i got plugs with a .8 gap, im pretty sure they are anyways. i dont wanna pull em out to find out really :s, alot of mucking around esp if i find out they are .8

Anyways, i set my boost for 9.5psi pretty much.

anyways, when i floor it, the car seems to jolt n jerk a little bit. Then it will come onto power. Weird.

Just wondering if this is the ecu doing this, fuel pump, or plugs?

which is the most obvious reason?

am thinking about getting a remapped r32 ecu put in for the time being.

What are the costs in tuning one of these for an r33?

The car has an r34 gtt intercooler, cat back exhaust and k&n panel filter. Stock dump and stock cat

hehe okie, wont do the r32 ecu, just save up for pfc. As for fuel pump i thought about this, and i made a thread bout wot fuel pump, as i think the bosch 040 has problems with letting the tank under a qtr. prefer a pump that i can take down a lil lower than that :(

Could be coils but I think it may be the std ECU seeing too much airflow. I found this when running 9-10psi and R34 intercooler. Actually the R34 intercooler is what sort of set it off. I think at the same boost the air flow is a bit higher. Also the ramp up in airflow is what the stock ecu sees s a problem and richens up the mixture and retards the timing. I thought it was coils but it wasn't. The powerfc with even just the base map runs a lot better - no hesitation now.

It would be good if you could borrow a mates PFC to see if it helps.

If found asyou rev out sometimes it would start going really slowly from 5k rpm on - in 4th gear a couple of times up[ a hill I hit what felt more severe than a rev limit...this was at 3.5k as boost came on. Feels really severe as if you have broken something and instantly take your foot off accelerator

If your after cheap fix then get a SAFC or jaycar fuel adjuster but the PFC is much better.

yeah it was running rich, cld smell abit of fuel when hammering it, just weird, seeing as its only on lowish boost and already getting that problem, damn it. Mite have to invest in a pfc when i get back from my holiday :s, good old c/c, lol

I had my car on about the same boost level as you last weekend on the way to avoca.. if I 3/4 throttled it so that it was about 8psi it'd gun it, as soon as I went full throttle 10psi it'd rich and retard, wouldn't accelerate till it settled down or I backed off the throttle..

It's a protection mechanism for the ECU, you could try maybe a SAFCII - not sure if this would make a difference..

thats what i was confused about, because it would act stupidly then go fine, although if i backed off from full throttle to about 3/4 like u said, it seemed like it picked up a bit of power, haha damn cars. Might have to invest in a power fc one of these days

Yes - I would find on 1/2 throttle my car would be quicker - especially running 10psi boost. Powerfc has fixed this..hoping to gain some more average power after a tune.

The stock computer is crap for anything above stock boost. Unlike other cars that are ok if you turn up the boost a bit.

    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
