do you plan on modding after that? If not I would reccomend a remap depending where your ar Dr-Drift in VIC did mine (I am in Tas) and will be doing my retune... Unless you plan to leave it as is after that or live close, I would say a PFC would be best...

From my limited knowledge of r33's I would expect around 180-190rwkw once tuned from a series 2 (better turbo than the series one - nylon comperssor wheel)...

yeah thats what im after (for milestone 1) .. 190rwkw using fmic, mods i got, better dump and pfc...

so paulr33, are you saying that if i have my car dynoed at say 10psi with no fmic, then add one and redyno (with same 10psi), that there will be no power gain at all?

I have a stock r32 literally stock...but i have a fmic...it looks better:P its doesnt do anything on its own though...went your turbo warms up it provides a cooler air flow to the engine...hence and better burn in the engine...not really more power...a little but makes it more efficient when more boost is loaded into the engine...when you compress the air it gets hot so it helps with more boost and more air....but you still need the fuel and ecu to keep up.

I disagree with everyone here.

an R33 at 10psi on stock intercooler will have less power than the same car with fmic.

especially after a few good thrashings.

that little intercooler would already be heatsoaked.. with the fmic, it would still be getting cool air.

cool air would produce more power.

just like driving at night in 15 degrees compared to driving around lunch time in 25 degrees.

don't worry about re-chip for R33.

PFC is cheap these days for them.. something like $950 I think.

i put a hybrid front mount on and didn't touch the boost (kept it at 10psi) and i noticed a power increase. much more wheelspin in first and second, and steps out when i snap 3rd and chirps 4th rather well (even with 4 adults in the car and the aircon on), when it used to only just chirp (heavy duty clutch and 225 tyres). the clutch sucks for going through mcdonalds though.

    • I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading. 
    • Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?
    • Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
    • Well, moulded carpets should fit well if the buck they use is the right shape. The finish is then just a case of stiching the trim around the edges. Shuoldn't be too hard to get it right. Back in the day, replacement carpets were all "fitted", in that they were stitched together, with cuts and slices taken out to make them form the shapes. Many more opportunities to get it wrong, hence all the concern over good vendors and bad vendors.
