Between the radiator and the front mount intercooler theres a grill which has a fan attached to it, i have no idea what its for. someone suggested it could be a automatic transmission cooler, but my car is a manual... unless its been convereted... secont part is the attached apperatus to the mystery radiator, one pipe goes back undernieth the turbo and dissapears into the firewall. (highlighted in blue)

wait, between the radiator and the FMIC? i have what i believe to be an oil cooler there... i thought it was stock! geebus

i had a quick look at my boost controler set up, the pressure source comes from a nipple on the turbo side of the cross over pipe, considering this is past the FMIC i wonder how this affects the relative pressure and subsequent boostcontrol regulation. My boost guauge source comes from a nipple on the plenum itself, again i wonder how accurate the readings are. it could be +/- 1,2 or 3 psi...? if so that could be significant. Actually come to think about it soon as the air passes through the throttle body it goes from a ~3 inch pipe to a much larger space, simple physics tells you that there will be a pressure drop, so if infact your boost gauge says your boosting to 10psi and the source is from the plenum, then the pressure in the pipes could be significantly higher. Thus you are running your turbo harder than you intended...

mad082, my brain hurts, i just had a look at the instruction manual for turbosmart boost controlers, and they say to have the pressure source BEFORE the throttle body, which is inline with what you said... however if you have the pressure source coming straight from the plenum (after the throttle body) wouldn't that be the worst source of pressure available? soon as you close the throttle plate a vacuum will be created, and after you start to open it again, the pressure would do all sorts of wierd things given RPM/how open the throttle is/ and the areodynamics of the plenum... the controler wouldn't know wtf is going on (maybe cause of spiking?). wouldn't the ideal source be just after the turbo, idealy as close as you can get it?

thats "if" the holden coil packs fit the series 2 r33 or even the series 1 r33.

this might be obvious? but you can't do this with series 2 r33's and beyond can you?

if you look carefully it also includes the RB20 engine found in the r32...

i don't know why no one has mentioned this before but why not read the engine manual, its free to download. http://justskylines.com/knowledgebase/asse..._engine_man.pdf page 85 and onwards has the coolant info everyone wants.... and its from nissan.

what did they pm you with? i'd like to know too

it still might be your coils, you can't see the micro splits in the coils, or the coil packs might be shorting internally (in that case there is nothing you can do). i had the typical 5000rpm "pa pa pa pa pa" my first instinct was the spark plugs but by doing further research on the fourms i looked at the coils. Eventually i coated the coil packs in a few layers of silicon ( the stuff you can get for roofing ) its a perfect insulator, sticks to the plastic and resists heat extremely well. long story short, no more missfire. will be up for new coil packs eventually but this might help. silicon from bunnings ~$10

not sure if this is any help, but i had a problem with my interior light and it turned out to be a pinched wire, if your interior trim has ever been taken off, (and subsequentally put back on), the interior light wires can get caught/crushed/pinched/cut and cause all sorts of wierd problems.

your pictures don't work.

has this been sold?

someone had a white r33 gtst around forresters beach? i'm in the red 33 in @ bateau bay with qld plates lol

this is what i intially thought, it would be great if someone could give some actual before and after air temps, ie, temperatures of the air that is just about to flow into the throttle body with and without the shielding.

thanks for sharing your experience jeffworld2, i just recently cleaned my AFM with contact / circut board cleaner, it was absoluely filthy... it was amazing if it could measure anything, stupid HKS pod filter filters nothing. car seems to be running a bit better, although i did notice the idle rpm seems to be a bit higher.

just noticed it in my r33 series 2 gtst. seems like its coming from the rear (firewall side) of the air intake manifold. - what is it likely to be, anyone? injectors... right?

bump, i'd also like to know what a faulty ecu earth is... ?

how many kms?

launch control baby

5K?

want one

remember seeing one of the other tommy kaira skylines up for sale not to long ago. gl with sale.

how's the gearbox and clutch?
