    Hey man as far as removing the turbo. Are you chasing more power? If not I would leave it as is. Mine has been making the whine noise for the 3 years I've had it and the 2 years the previous owner had it. It's still going strong with around 130k on the clock. There's guys pushing 200k and still going on factory turbo. If you are after more power, then get it out of there quick smart.

    This is what I have, (not actual rims) Pm if interested. I am located in s.e suburbs near Springvale.
  5. admS15
    The rims you have pictured are R34 GT rims. I have a pair (2) of R33 gtst rims with tyres if your interested. $50 would make them yours.

    Hey guys, the stag is back in action. Had it towed to Scotty's. Tried a couple different front fuse box units, didn't help. Put it on the scanner and could communicate with the bcm but not the rest of the cars systems. Changed the bcm in the driver's footwell, still no go. At this point heads where being scratched and I went home with my tail between my legs. Today, I couldn't stop thinking about what the problem could be. I googled my arse off and found an installers manual with wiring diagram for the alarm system on supra forums of all places. There was also some info about the internal relays of the immobiliser failing. Armed with this, I went to Scotty's and started pull dash trims out and found the alarm main box, gave it a few love taps and boom, we have power. So, this whole debacle was caused by a dying immobiliser. The stag was not to blame at all. Drove the car home and gave it a nice bath. It seems to be working fine now but I won't be risking a repeat and will have the alarm removed and replaced with something new. Thanks for all the suggestions guys and to Scott for accepting the job on short notice and providing the spares for troubleshooting [emoji106][emoji106]

    Nice brakes. They look the business. Are they r35 brembo?

    Haltech fuel economy . Would have got 13L/100km with a power fc.
  12. admS15
    Thanks for the replies guys. It does sound like bcm. The car is being diagnosed. I will update when the diagnosis comes in.

    Went to the shops earlier tonight with the mrs and baby. Did the shopping, came back out tried to start the car, no go. Forf**ksake, No dash lights at all. It's like the immobiliser is on. I bypassed the alarm with the security code, still nothing. I noticed when I initially tried to start the car, the rear wiper randomly came on, it is stuck half way through its stroke. I'm thinking it's shorted and fried something. Interior, exterior lights central locking,alarm and tailgate closer/lock are still working but anything requiring ignition power does not. Anyway, I got a lift home and came back with tools. Checked all the fuses in the footwell and in the engine bay, also behind the battery, where all good. I also swapped around all the relays one by one trying to hopefully get some power, still no success. I called it a night and left the car at the shops. I also noticed the little black box below the fusebox in the driver's footwell clicking when I was trying to crank. I'm wondering what that unit does and if it could be the source of my issues. Does anybody have any suggestions of anything I can Check? Has anyone had a similar experience? Does it sound like immobiliser is possibly rooted and causing this. Suggestions please. Thanks in advance.

    Just needs some balls at the bottom [emoji16]

    also try unplugging afm and starting then. If it does start, you should be able to limp it home.

    yes and running it in boost by ethanol % mode. Its recently been added to the adaptronic software package. I have it set to run around 20 psi when ethanol % is over 65 and 18 psi when under that. Does it automatically.Tried running 22 psi but decided against it due to wheelspin issues in the mid range.

    Vic isn't that bad as long as you play it a bit smart and not go asking for trouble.
  18. admS15
    That particular 1 is called adaptrackit and is available for use with Android devices with 4.4 onward software in conjunction with adaptronic ecu's.

    No bonnet popping, he just had a quick outside visual. I didn't get smart with him in any way. I'm pretty lucky he didn't go through the whole car. I've seen the same cop at that booze bus site putting plenty of skylines and dumped commodores off the road. I was expecting an epa letter in the mail but it's been a couple months and it's been all good.

    No problem, we are happy to try and help out. In my experience I have never had a cop go looking for engine numbers and the like. The most I have had them do is check height, tyres, loudness to the ear and the obvious things. In saying that, I tend to try and keep my cars as standard looking as possible under the bonnet and avoid known cop hotspots. Also try not to be too much of a hoon and if I do get pulled up, not be a smart arse. I was recently pulled up at a booze bus and as soon as Mr hwy patrol saw the skyline coming, he started charging over and asking questions about my roll bar, who installed it, bolt or weld in,is it engineered. I answered with I did, bolt, and unengineered. He then said I needed to put thicker padding on it and let me go. Moral is, if your car is neat, not overly loud, not too low,has good tyres, not screaming for attention and your not acting like a tool, cops generally leave you alone. There is a few out there though who won't turn a blind eye to anything and know their stuff. Fortunately I haven't had the displeasure of meeting 1 of them. Since your car is a classic, I think you'll even get more leniency from them.

    Wasn't an event, I was practising on a Wednesday avo at Frankston motocross track. Tac didn't ask questions at all. Got a letter from them about 4-5 weeks after lodging the claim telling me it was accepted. Bike was a Tm 250 2t enduro running on knobbies. Full road reg for enduro eligibility.
  22. admS15
    Interesting thing with tac. Years ago I had a stack and broke my leg on a road registered dirt bike at a motorcross track. I wasn't going to bother trying to claim tac but the doctors at the hospital insisted when I told them the bike was reg'd. I filled out the forms truthfully, expecting to get rejected but surprisingly they came to the party and covered my medical costs and 85% of my wages till I recovered. Was very surprised indeed. Felt like a major win.

    So right between an Audi r8 quatro and porche 911 gt2. Geez R33 's must be the hidden supercars of the 90's. Well done man, awesome driving [emoji106]
  24. admS15
    Good point but if you get pulled over by old mate petterd and he looks at your engine number, your screwed then aren't you. My advice to the op is to engineer an rb30 et engine and just upgrade that since he wants legal. If it was my own car, I wouldn't engineer anything unless I was forced to. I would register the car with its stock l24 or whatever they come out with and then go to town with a conversion. Keep the thing quiet, not too low and avoid driving through Knox and hardparking at hwy meets but hey that's just me[emoji3] I get the impression the op wants 100% legal. That's the only reason I'm saying rb30. The 25/30 can be done but will be extra headaches. Really all depends how far he is prepared to go.
  25. admS15
    Which is why I said to leave the 30 head on it.
