Something just isn't breathing... Are the cams dialled in properly (In the correct position) they may be opening and closing too early or late. Head might not be flowing adequately either. Turbo may be out of efficiency. Did you try winding the turbo down to see how much lower you can get boost without loosing much power?

Seriously... VN Series 1 Commodore through to a series 2 VS Commodore... I haev a VR, S2 in manual, (Trying to sell it at the moment) whilst it is NO competition for my GTS-t, it eats up FTOs, eats up Celicas, eats up basically everything else you lot have listed that a new P-plater can legally drive. Commodores, and Falcons, whilst a land barge, have this great aussie thing called Torque... It wins races. And you can't modify your car at all, except for looks. Even diff gear changes, from what the RTA has told me, is a no-no. Can't do engine swaps either (Even if engine is standard) Seriously, get a manual commodore. Absolutely nothing like a skyline, (And I mean NOTHING!) but they'll basically kill all of the P-plater legal 4 and 6 cylinders on the road.

Trouble Over 300rwkw With Rb25det
MBS206 replied to muaythailuke's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
I'm fairly new to the RB engines, but in alot of other engines, it'd either indicate turbo running out (Although this would equate to a pressure drop, which you haven't mentioned) or most likely the heads/cam aren't flowing enough. -
I'm sorry, but how can a wiring diagram, for a car, help a theif? I can understand if it's the wiring diagram for the alarm, but isn't the person asking for the diagram for the car? In which case, people need these daily for doing thinks like ECU installs. (Ones that aren't plug and play!)

As for the commodore thing. I have a commo at the moment (For sale) the sub and amp package I have in it, when set in a certain spot, sounds like utter shit. I was ALWAYS told by people, put the sub hard against the boot, firing at the guys behind you, you will effectively rebound the sound against the wave heading out the back of the boot. But hey... This didn't work quite right for me. I had to actually move the sub about 20CM back from this point, to get the best volume. Now, when sitting in the car, opening the boot, causes me to actually loose bass volume, Why? I'm not getting the addition of sound waves. As for folding down the back seat, doesn't really do a shit load either, except prevent the whole car from shaking... (Makes a slightly cleaner bass note) It's all about the acoustics in the car (As noted before) the BEST way to find where to mount the sub perfectly, is to actually position it in the boot in box, shut the car (As if you were driving) and have a listen to a song. Then move the sub, until you find the best position for your style of music and your sub/box combo. As for removing the metal part behind the seat, it's actually illegal, as the boot in an R33 HAS to be sealed from the cabin, due to the fact that the battery is in the boot (Release of hydrogen gas under recharging conditions)

I have the same issue in my R33... It's been like it since I bought it (Around 2 weeks ago) the internal clock doesn't work, all of the fuses are A-okay and it has an aftermarket headunit in it.

Why Does My Sub Box Have 2 +, 2 - Terminals
MBS206 replied to 123456's topic in Car Audio & Electrical
Pull the sub out, see how it's all wired up... As for loosening up a sub, you're meant to play them at a lower volume for a few days, to allow them to loosen and NOT blow the cone. -
Why Are My Injectors Hitting 100% Duty Cycle?
MBS206 replied to zinkrb250's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
It just can't deliver the fuel required. Hence injectors open further for more fuel! -
Nope, still illegal.

Fs (nsw): Vr V6 Commodore, Manual
MBS206 replied to MBS206's topic in For Sale (Private Whole cars only)
Okay, my Dad is now screaming that there IS 3 cars here. I can't afford to run all 3 cars, so hence, dropping asking price again. Now at $5000 -
Orig edited by me... As said before, insurance is dependant on others, and don't EVER accept the first price the company tells you. They can go better.

Got sun roof? Also, same questions Boosted32 had.

It's all in the restriction. If you have a restrictive exhaust, they're said to now flow at 100% the capability. A 2" system on a 2L car say, may be able to flow 10L/second of air. But another 2" system, on another 2L car (Both the same type of car, everything identical, except for the exhaust) may only be able to flow 9.5L/second, this is where you get a restriction, and you end up with a back pressure in the exhaust (If you actually do some VERY indepth reading on how to design an exhaust, back pressure you want equal to zero, or even a vacuum (Which won't happen!) Therefore, the second exhaust system, although 2", is said not to have 100% flow through it. It is restrictive. When the guys I deal with, have been building exhausts for 30+ years, they know every little trick, they even research new items for various things, and new designs. I'll stick with them. They know how each exhaust system should be setup on what engine, and depending on the variables within the engine, they can slightly alter how the system should be setup. The design is done through theory, and then tested in practice through gas flow benches (And hey, we're dealing with gasses here, not fluid!), through the dyno, and also on the track when the systems are initially designed. And then the varying factors they know how to alter and how far. Remember, you can't alter systems all that much, as pipes come in set sizes. As for different materials, a stainless steel system gives alot nice resonance not over that of mild steel, but then again, if you ever get to hear a copper exhaust system (Illegal), they sound the BEST!!!

I know, this thread had no replys for like 2 weeks, you've probably forgotten about it. But if you remove the BOV all together (And block all the holes up) it'll go "chuff chuff chuff" as the compressor stalls. It WON'T hurt your turbo like heaps of people beleive. Old turbos used to die from it (The first designed ones) but with modern machining practices, that's a thing of the past. If you want to hear what it sounds like, rip the hose off that goes from the inlet manifold, to the stock BOV off, and block it with your finger, with the engine running, give the car a good flick of the revs (You can do it from in bonnet) and you'll hear the new noise.

Any of the race tracks run them Either ring Oran Park and find out who does theres, or ring Eastern Creek for theres, or again, try at Wakefield. Ask them who runs them at the track, and what the contact details are.

Have you got some more pics of down the drivers side that show it a little bit better, one of the passenger side, and then another showing the back of the car with the boot down?

Cheaper Alternative To Splitfire Coilpacks - Externally Mounted
MBS206 replied to Rolls's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
VN Items are KNOWN to fail. Even the VN boys upgrade them, even on a stock engine. They're a poorly designed coil pack. If you had researched them a bit, you could have found this out. The VP S2 onwards packs are a MUCH better design. -
Toshiba Satellite Laptop / Notebook! - Quick Sale!
MBS206 replied to chrisgtr's topic in For Sale (Other Items)
Is this able to be upgraded to run a gig of ram? -
I'll stick to my locally made exhaust pipes at the moment hey. Especially, when over the phone, the guy who does my exhausts can actually send a car running slower against the field on the race track, to run a QUIETER exhaust then before, and also net a SHITLOAD more torque, and outrun the opposition. OVER THE PHONE. A friend of the families builds exhausts for a living. He exports them, they are in HIGH demand in Japan, and in America, ESPECIALLY for imports. They are also a fairly high demand item in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. The guy is one of two exhaust builders for one of the "Konica" V8s, (I don't know the proper Konica Minolta series now), at a race meet, the other guy went down. They weren't meeting noise levels as this guy decided to change something. He decided to change something again. They met the exhaust sound levels, but couldn't keep up down the straight away or out of corners. They rang the other guy (Our family friend) and he told them over the phone what to change. Next thing you know, the cars even QUIETER then it was, and OUTRUNS the field down the straight and out of the corners. A proper exhaust, is designed for each individual engine. NOT mass produced. The point when you know that your exhaust is PERFECT, is when you have 100% flow, and you can barely hear a thing from it. And yes, I have seen this done, and on an old school V8 too! I'll stick to my exhausts, that get built for each individual engine, over some imported, "brand name" that still costs me double the amount to put on!
