nope, still on DE ECU....

have noticed lately that i seem to be getting a weird noise when i give it a slight kick in the guts. usually happens when im in 2nd, mate says it SOUNDS like pinging, i sorta had the same idea but im not sure.

way to fix it - turbo it! no more clicky rasp

nothing a poke around the classifieds section and a respray cant fix

finally someone who agrees with me. S1.5 ftw, best of both worlds.

lol i hit redline at like 70/80ks in my 33, with turbo box. was an NA, but not anymore....

another likely possibility. more of a permanent thing thou. im getting all my feeds and drains redone today in speedflow

haha awesome. warrnambool KFC is the best ever.

haha! that woulda been me! you in a stag?

somehow that exa looks kinda tuff anyone on here know the thread size of a T3 oil drain? RB25 turbo in other words, getting hole of some speedflow fittings with gates hoses to replace the radiator hose (yes im nervous too)

99% sure youl need to drill into the block or somthing. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/tu...N-A-t33407.html read through this, should help. i tapped into my VCT oil return (i think)

another PM sent

post pics of the pipes mate. and the rest. very interested

hey all, chasing a GTSt airbox to suit my R33. throw me an offer and pics please also after the piping aswell if you have it cheers, josh

nathan is spot on there, had the 100,000 done on my 33, cost just over a grand. water pump replacement is optional fyi, i opted to get it done thoe as they tend to show their age as they approach the 100,000 mark. well worth it. get nissan to put their full synthetic oil in it too, unless you wanna use your own. apparently its good, costs $40 for 5L (got a quote today)

another thing is the AAC valve might need cleaning. its been covered many times before and does control your idle a fair bit. excess carbon builds up inside and yeah, basically like smoking.

spooky

what condish are the SMICs in? pics?

ran out of coolant O_O turns out whoever did it last night (or this morning) had no idea how to bleed it in. all good now with a nice fill up, runs a bit better too doris right, thats why i want to get the factory airbox/piping/cooler so its even less obvious

haha nah man...im from western vic postcode 3280....

in the process of tracking down another ECU, and airbox/piping/cooler. has been running well today tho, minus the water feed rupturing all good tho, atleast it wasnt in a flamin mongrel of a spot to get at. have noticed it has a tendancy to stall a bit at low revs but im guessing thats cos the ECU isnt a turbo one. heres some pics of the setup as of today

basically, when you turn your ignition to the second accesories point (where all the dash lights come on) but not start, you should hear the fuel pump (located in the boot next to and under the battery) prime..makes a high pitched sort of noise. and we got nothing with the turbo ECU. my theory is either the ECU was dodgy, or its not meant to for NA pump, OR its off a series 2 and that for some reason they have a different loom... any ideas? we started at about 6.30 the night before, so it took about 7.5 hours in total...not bad haha wherebouts your from calvin?

well its 5am, got it all done an hour ago. couple of issues atm; manifold gasket needs to be replaced (slight leek) the turbo ECU i have doesnt prime the fuel pump (go figure, the mounts dont even match) still need to get hold of a SMIC and turbo airbox by the looks (running an elbow from the plenum direct to turbo) running a bit rich and obviously not to its full potential because of the stock ECU ( NA one ) need to move the atmospheric filter to a less obvious spot (mini pod filter) was a fairly simple task, minus things like having to make custom hosing etc, and getting the injectors out (FUUUCK) sprayed most of the piping in engine enamel black too, so looks really neat. turbo is well hidden away. all in all it runs fairly smoothly though apart from those issues, will post up pics tommorow of the current setup. i am aware of the insurance issues, and many others...but yeah...have all the bits to convert it back to stock form if need be ED: had to run the oil drain tapped into the VCT lines as there was none other tapped into the block. tapped into the heater hose for the water drain/feed (not sure as its too late and i want bed now!)

it should, the loom is the same. and ndawg, got the factory dump pipe aswell so its all good. sourcing a factory SMIC too, yes vic rules are actually quite restrictive, cant even have a turbo. SO, were doing a stealth job on it hopefully will turn out alright, heatshields and the like cover it up farely well. have factory airbox too btw

sent you a PM last week mate, duno if you got it
