hey mate may be interested.. can u send me some pics with the bar on the car to [email protected] or post them up here..

WHERE YOU LOCATED?

the boost controller is a blitz sbc-id. maybe something is wrong with the actuator? what is the HKS factory actuator spring setting set to?

Had my car dyno tuned yesterday. Made 220rwkw as the boost was spiking all over the place up in the high rev range. Look at the wastegate actuator and the bloody thing is moving in and out when it hits boost! Now i have a HKS GTRS with all the supporting stuff! new manifold/fuel system/plenum etc.. i made 240rwkw before i had the cams/manifold/plenum installed. so why would there be a loss of power? i thought even on lower boost settings i would pull around 240rwkw and on big boost around 270 or so? has my motor become too efficient for the turbo with the cams and maxing it out as a result?

JOHNNY CASH as far as i know (NSW) police are not allowed to guess speeds. If you are doing some crazy speed they may be able to get you on some other grounds but for speeding they cant. When pulled over speeding always ask for a radar/lidar reading (they must show you this). Otherwise dont accept a ticket.

also have 6 factory R33 coil packs ($100 for the lot) and full GTST interior in mint condition front/back and door trims

have the following for sale: - standard R33 GTST computer (series 1) $150 - R33 gtst throttle cable $50 - R32 GTR throttle cable $50 - 6x 555cc Apexi injectors for a R33 GTST. Direct fit. Only catch is one of these injectors failed when i had my car on the dyno the other day. the others work perfectly fine. I just bough a set of Nismo ones cause i wanted the car to be ready before christmas and didnt have time to wait for a new apexi one from japan. The broken injector may still be ok. have not taken it anywhere so may just be blocked or something. $900 ono prices are neg. PM me or just post up here

As above i am after a aluminium aftermarket radiator for my R33 GTST. If anyone has one of these they are considering selling i am interested as long as they are in good condition. post pics in thread or PM me for my email address..

u can buy a GTR style grill.. to remove just uncvlip from behind

no worries. The more people that post the more chance i have of getting an possible solution.. blink elk - sorry i dont understand what u meant by that??

SK - spoke to the mechanic he is checking the timing over and over making sure everything is correct. Has not found any problems as yet. Cubes - Yeah sounds like what i have. Only thing is that the car was running fine just before the cams. How could the CAS just stuff up like that? Anyways anyone near eastern suburbs sydney have a spare CAS i can borrow or try to see if it makes a difference??

BHDave ye i get what your saying. only problem is we did the cams, plenum, piping, cam gears, exhaust manifold all at the same time. But it definately seems like a cam issue. the mechanic has the car now and is retracing his steps to see what could be causing it..

yeah as far as i know he removed the belt completely. From what i have gathered he has set the cam gear to 0 lined it up etc. although it was not tuned it felt very sluggish. The car is running almost no vacuum and hits boost way too early on the dyno. The power and curve is hopeless. I guess all he can do is play around with the cam timing setting to try to find a position which works efficiently.. I thought tomei would have specs on their site for this setup but i have not managed to find anything. Inlet plenum is fine.

3lit3 32 yes the cams have been correctly installed as far as i know. no problems. He did set cam timing back to 0 and it made absolute shit power (120rwkw or so). He then advanced timing and ended up getting (140rwkw). there was no more power in them. Amaru the cams and gears have been installed correctly, i dont think thats the problem. its just the timing. the engine runs fine and all there is just no power in it. Should it make good power on 0 degree's or does it need to be set up differently as 0 didnt seem to work. Is there anywhere i can find this out? anyone installed tomei cams on their RB25?

ye one mechanic fitted it and the other is doing the tune. nothing wrong with the work that was done just we are unsure of the cam timing that should be set on this application. Dont worry turbo is bolted on

Hey have recently had a set of tomei 256degree cams and an tomei adjustable cam gear installed. I have a bigger turbo (GTR-S) and all the supporting parts. had someone tuning the car tonight on the dyno and it made 140rwkw on 1 bar. before i had the cams it made 240 on 1.2 bar so something is very wrong. only new parts put on since then are a GReddy plenum and new exhaust manifold. Now after speaking to the mechanic who was present at the dyno and who put it all together (he said everything was set to 0degrees) so was puzzled as to why the cams were not making any power. Does anyone know the setting Tomei specify for their cams in a RB25DET. This is really puzzling me and i am trying to sort this out before christmas as i have had a heap of headaches getting the car on the road. Any help greatly appreciated.. Ta..

i saw that at george st once... didnt he previously have a R32 GTR with the same plate?

best all round gap is 0.8mm. If its not your plugs it will in most cases be your coil packs. I know this happens often on series 1's (the missfire). Spook's skyline i would gap them to 0.8mm but if you have something different and its running fine i would not bother chaging it.

haha. Remember "its not how you stand by your car its how you race your car"

i also have the stock cooler, im in sydney $50 + postage and its yours PM if your keen

Blitz is 100% correct. Not possible to get 50rwkw with a air fuel controller. If that figure was with a power FC i would believe it not with SAFC. By the way i like your intercooler setup, looks great!

i got a set in sydney. PM if your interested..

BUMP..

if you want to do a conversion why dont you put a RB26DETT into it? be a lot cheaper and will still have plenty of go.. Thats what i was planning on doing, before i spoke to a few that have done it and added up the costs with them..
