Since you're running rich, it indicates you've used too small a size or too small a latency value. Latency makes a big difference at idle and low throttle, size makes a difference everywhere. So, if idle is rich but WOT is good change the latency, if its rich everywhere change the size

Pull the coilpacks and look for arcing. They can be surprisingly intermittent. There's a DIY HERE

Redline will know - call them. I'd be very surprised if they tell you a gear oil is ok in place of ATF.

Stockers should be at a bar at more like 3000rpm - IF everything working properly. So either you dont have stockers or something is wrong with your car.

So I assume the decision to use nissan or aftermarket gears is mainly based on power level - right? If so, up to what power level are the stockers generally considered reliable? 350awkw?? Assuming 33GTRV's car is ~200awkw, surely aftermarket gears is a waste of money that level??

Correct, unless the old fuel pump was misbehaving, or the FPR is misbehaving.

Yeah but the BOV wont have a vacuum signal on the diaphragm so you would hope that the spring would keep it shut. Is the drift bov adjustable? Maybe it was always stuffed but did play up until it saw the higher boost you got after fixing the wastegate?

You might have more luck if you remove it from the car and use a vice so you can hold it securely. I found the flexing on the bushes at the end makes it hard to get a nicely focussed amount of force on those rings. If you're not already doing it, wind them down first as that should be slightly easier. Once they're moving put them back in the car and set how you want it.

Sleeve and sleeve. If you do ball bearings it will cost the same as new garretts. The highflow means there's less turbine wheel so less exhaust restriction, and yes slower spool. I was expecting spool to start later, but it started at the same rpm as stock, just ramped up more slowly. YMMV

There's some info on the Nistune "Type 2 board" forum for that setup - TPS is mentioned as a key difference but for some it doesnt appear to matter. My ignorant guess is the tune just requires a little more work on the throttle enrichment tables (which are the equivalent of a carby accelerator pump). This is something you could probably try yourself without much risk - just take a backup and save to disk first, so if it does all go to poo or you cant tell any difference you can simply restore Envy's tune.

If its going to be a streeter with <270-280kw (so you wont need injectors or AFMs) then you might as well just get steel wheels in the stockers, which is around 700-800 each IIRC. I've got highflows in mine which i bought off an SAUer, the receipt showed he spent $1800. I did the dumps at the same time and havent retuned or upped the boost yet, but they seem to start to spool at the same time as the stockers (~2000rpm), but they spool more slowly.

Nice work. I imagine you'll get a bunch of new customers. BTW, how's the business side of it going? Making any money yet?

That statement from AP is pretty clear. I know you can get uprated pivots for push setups. Presumably the stock pivot can be unreliable with the pressures provided by a heavy clutch.

+1. Drop the exhaust and give it another rip on the dyno Also, you'll get much better responses if your provide full details of your setup. Help us to help you. Edit: and post the dyno sheet(s)

IIRC 32 GTR, 33 GTR, 33 GTST and 34 GTT gearboxes have pretty much the same internals, with some minor revisions along the way (ie extra syncros on third in series 3 33 GTR). The 32 GTR spec is 4.1 liters of 75W-90 GL-4.

You'd be better off using something with a accelerometer in it than a stopwatch; ie gtech or iphone + <$20 software.

True, but a standard computer will also run, its just that it will hit all the overboost protections. A generic chip done well will be super conservative like a stock ECU but without the overboost extreme timing cut/richening. So it certainly wont be as good as a custom tune, but a lot better than a stock ECU. So not necessarily a bad choice for a streeter done on the cheap.

I bought seimens 550s from the states on ebay for around $500 dollars, otherwise sards from japan (nengun/greenline etc) will be more like $750. On the seimens i replaced the top seal with o rings from the standard injectors, as the supplied seals fell apart (too large and we crushed AFAICT) If you're doing it yourself check my DIY HERE

So i just want your junk - $20 and i'll pick it up.

It could only be dirty fuel right? Fuel filters arent perfect, and injector dimensions are very small so it wouldnt take much.

My dumbass way of looking at these similar oils is; GL-4 for is best suited to gearboxes GL-5 for is best suited to diffs and unless i have a good reason to do otherwise, I use the manufacturers recommended viscosity (so i probably wouldnt use 70W-75 in my gearbox)

Using a power figure makes more sense than boost level, because different turbos flow different amounts of air at the same boost level. For GTR i believe its generally around the 280kw mark, assuming standard fuel rail pressure. Rough guideline only, YMMV.

Maybe just jap or sss automotive?

Might be a long shot but the old SydneyKid group buys had some suspension shop recommendations for installation. Try digging up one of those threads...

Well cheers for that. In return for your nice words i have dug up that link about what happens to shocks. CLICK THIS. The pictures are missing so use your imagination. A warning tho, if you do make the effort to educate yourself you'll find it harder to shoot your mouth off, noobie style. FYI I've spent a fair bit of my time on suspension setup; - swapped out my TOO LOW old fixed height 10/8.5kg rate teins for adjustables which i RAISED to IMPROVE the handling, with 8.2/6.4kgs rate, corner weighted and aligned, zero toe, 2deg. neg camber front, 1.25 rear. The springs are probably still too stiff. - noltec upper control arms - adjustable radius rod bushes - two sets of adjustable rear control arm bushes - whiteline adjustable front and rear sway bars - tomei hicas lock kit - whiteline pineapples
