Last time I looked they did...did a really good job of binding up on the dipper at Bathurst and spearing them off in to the kitty litter

Sports cars are a nice handling over all package.....the viper is a large powerful engine attached to a chassis built manily around 2 bits of railway track

LOL RAILS...

did u see the lotus come over the peak too fast hit the strip and bounced off a wall and into the service road..??? 900kg 1.8L toyota engine ftw...the donut king cup thingo..

was a good race.. EVOS wer crazy.. and did u see the FD3S behind everything..?

FD3S are a sports car.. good overall package.. but they are kinda gutless.. like the RX8 bahaha... waste of engineering.

hi all,

im new to sau ive come over from the exa club as i had an exa now i have a skyline and am in desperate need of your help i have a r33 gtst series II 4 door auto yes i know its a friggin auto it sucks yadda yadda yadda anyways i got a bigger front mount a bigger turbo power fc and viper alarm system also window tint and pearled paint anyways i had a loose wastegate actuator and when i fixed it (as boost was coming on at like 5500rpm) it now gets full boost at 2000rpm the car is pinging like a bitch i cant afford to take it to a decent dyno and im looking for a stock ecu and decent boost controller to swap for it. i managed to get the car pinging not so much by self tuning as best i could but just want the stock computer and boost tap if anyone can help me out send me an email at [email protected] please cos im desperate to get my skyline working good btw i live in beenleigh but work at capalaba at bryan byrt ford >_< lol thanks guys.

The power fc needs to be modified to work on an auto car, you CANT run a power fc out of the box on an auto car. Yes it will work, no it won’t work right.

SydneyKid on these forums made a post in the tech sections explaining what needs to be changed to work, he runs one on his auto Stagea

hmm SK is smart.. hes a good bloke..

makes me wonder what he looks like..?? anyone got a picture of him im keen to see if he looks asian with white gray hair and long kung fu mostach

Power fc's dont run on auto cars...

This is true. I think his biggest problem will be with the Power FC.

My advice consist's of the following, seeing i owned a 4 door r33 auto at one stage.

1) Post in the WTB section of the SAU forums and let people know you need an R33 Series 2, Auto ECU.

2) Disconnect car battery and remove the Power FC ECU and hand controller (if it has one) and replace with your second hand r33 S2 Auto ECU.

3) If you already have a boost controller, i'd piss it off pretty quick and reconnect your boost lines into the stock boost solenoid to ensure either of the two items above arent causing the problem.

4) If the problem is still there and your running a stock ecu and boost solenoid, i would then locate another wastegate actuator and replace your current one. If your actuator is allowing your gate to open quickly, your turbo will spool around 8-12psi in an instant shot and give you a massive amount of boost spike.

However, you mentioned you had issues at 5,500rpm (Wastegate not opening soon enough), and now it spools to early (Power FC problem, Wastegate opening to early...Way to early...)

I'd seriously give the above a fair go.

Good luck. :rofl:

Welcome to the forum.

You said that you had a loose wastegate? how did you fix it? I'd be definitly pulling the power fc out like the others said as they obvously not suited for autos .If you cant pull the fc out for now take a few degrees out of the timing ( get one of your mechanics to do it, thats if you are desperate so it doesnt ping might, make the car not responsive). What fuel have you been putting into it ?Hopefully nothing under bp ultimate.I wouldnt be running any boost controller until your problem is fixed so get that wastgate sorted out or your chances of engine damage will be up there.

Good luck

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
