    So the car failed the cert, however on really minor stuff: Exhaust is 1.9 decibels too loud (was 91.9db at 3200rpm and needs to be 90)- im just going to put a restriction in the exhaust to get a pass. i may quit down the exhaust long term, just want to get a good feel for it first.. I need to put a cover over the fuel top hat (factory one doesn't fit because of FPG top hat). ill just have to modify the factory one to suit. no airbag diagnostic light on the dash (as i now have the IC-7). i wish the IC-7 had more customisation here with different logos etc. but nope. I have ordered a little airbag logo light that i will install on the dash. I should have this remedied next week and finally be legally back on the road.

    Yeah, I will investigate this. also, I will be getting a flex fuel sensor, so I will be getting me some of that ethanol you linked! Cheers!

    As part of my cert tomorrow, I had to update the HICAS lock bar, as there is some picky rules re. bars with welds. This is why I bought the PRP bar, it’s billet with no welds.. The bar itself is great but I feel there has been little thought on the actual application. I had to cut 10mm off the thread on the arms to get the toe adjustment anywhere near right. They say they are bringing out new arms for it but who knows Wel hen that’s happening.. I should have gone with a gktech full delete kit.

    I think I have that but it only covers the engine. Unless there’s another?

    Fixed the speedo issue. Funnily enough, my settings were around 5221 pulses/km and I think that was calibrated at 30km/hr. Verified the speed with a shitty app that lagged heaps, so probably wrong still haha but at least I’m not doing Mach 2 anymore. played with the idle a bit, as the tuner had it set at 900. The DBW makes this super easy and super stable! I backed it down to about 750/800rpm and it’s rock solid! just need to figure out the fuel gauge next!

    Hi There, Can anyone provide a formal factory Nissan wheel alignment spec sheet for the R33? I have the engine workshop manual, which is obviously not in there, so i was wondering if someone here has the more comprehensive service manuals and would like to share that specific page? To get my car road legal in NZ, i must be within a certain tolerance of the factory spec. I just want to confirm what this is. Cheers

    It appears so!! I solved a lot of problems just searching on there..
  8. R3N3
    Yes, I did have the latest firmware, so I think that’s the issue! Also, no more haltech forum?? I joined that FB page too.. the fuel sensor issue on the IC7 also seems to be firmware related. For some reason the software isn’t updating it with the latest firmware…

    Thanks! Funny that. My cert guy was the one who said I needed 1… let’s see what happens.

    So I got the head unit all installed this weekend: Wireless CarPlay is the goods! I just need to wire up the reversing camera and the reverse input. I tidied All weekend I have tried calibrating both the fuel level sender (in the IC7) and the vehicle speed (through the ECU), with no luck. The vehicle speed issue means I can’t test out the cruise control…

    Haha got to have a contingency plan right??

    Haha. E85 is not easily accessible here in NZ, as it’s no longer sold at fuel stations (I think nation wide now). However… I have found a supplier who can ship large drums of the BP racing corn juice. I even wired in a connector for a flex sensor in the engine bay. I am just working through the legalities around the storage of the fuel etc. My limiting factor at the moment for more power will be my clutch. It’s a HD full face organic clutch, which is rated to around 300ish kw and 450Nm torque, which is where I am. I will start to assemble parts for my stage 2 build, which will likely be a RB30, so when it does go bang I have something ready to drop in..

    Here are the final dyno reports for each boost setting: wastegate spring (7psi): note that gate pressure sees the boost creep up to 12psi. 12 psi: 15psi: 20psi: Went for a quick drive up and down the street after the tow truck dropped the car off and man it is nice. The sound of the turbo, exhaust, intake and BOV is just so nice! The power feels so linear in how its delivered.

    @Duncan @Dose Pipe Sutututu here is what the rules ask for. pretty overkill..
  16. R3N3
    Nope, needs to be a hoop. Minimum 5mm steel. I’ll take a pic later. But yes, it is odd
  17. R3N3
    That used to be true. As long as it vented to atmosphere behind the cabin of the vehicle. I think now that all exhaust gas has to go through a muffler also.
  18. R3N3
    Yes, any cert because of a power increase triggers it (a manual swap doesn’t).the driveshaft hoop is for each section of driveshaft, as the R33 has 2 pieces it requires 2. However, as @Duncan pointed out, the rear section (if I remember right) already has one with the hanger bearing, so i only need one for the front section.
  19. R3N3
    No, no emissions test and you only trigger the need for a cat converter if you do an engine swap (hence i dont have one). A catch can is a bit of a grey area at the moment, how i read the legislation i have to, but the cert guy says no, so who am i to argue... I also need to install a driveshaft hoop, which has been made and ready to go on.

    Plan now is to get it 100% road legal. In NZ we have to get the car certified for the mods. This basically involves a thorough inspection, road drive etc. Technically my car was already certified but it was not done with engine mods (just suspension), so things like the dash, keypad and wastegate will be a dead giveaway… we also have to cert the wheel sizes, so by me just going from 17s to 18s would also trigger a re-cert.

  22. R3N3
    Tuning went well! Car made 420hp at 19psi at the hubs. Full boost by around 4000rpm. Base boost pressure is a nice streetable 10psi with 3 different settings up to 20 (via keypad). @Dose Pipe Sutututu, the tuner said he barely needed his big fan with the FPG kit, as it could hold it solid at 82deg through the power runs.

    Awesome, thanks! unfortunately I have misplaced the shims between the workshop and home, so I’ll have to just go with as it is for now for the tune tomorrow. I’ll order more shims and adjust the voltages myself. I did a final once over tonight. I pulled the injectors for an inspection, as I remember one didn’t go in so smoothly (my error). Turns out I bent the tip slightly. I’m not sure this is a major? no biggie, as I ordered 2 spares when I purchased (I like to have a spare of most things). Other than that, car is 100% good to go for tomorrow. I also purchased and installed the gktech bash plate, as I’ve always hated that the underside of the engine was exposed.
  24. R3N3
    Haha, I have taken the shim out just so I can move the car round…
  25. R3N3
    I have noticed today that the trigger wheel is just touching the sensor, causing a not so nice noise (which made me panic). Anyway, the kit comes with shims, chucked one in and it won’t start… obviously the sensor is now spaced too far from the teeth and can’t pick up a signal for the haltech. @Dose Pipe Sutututu and/or others with the same trigger kit, is there a setting in the haltech software to adjust the sensitivity, so I can space the sensor out?
