yeh exactly

which would point to an overall fuelling problem, not an individual injector. a problem which should come up on the AFRs. bcos if theres supposed to be heaps of fuel according to the o2 sensor where is it all coming from? its not goin through the combustion chamber...

is it possible that the dyno is faulty? (maybe a dumb question)

I think I'll make a few hp, it needs a couple to push the whale over the 1/4 in 13.3seconds.  

I'd better clean my engine pipes out before I go. They have almost 100,000kms of engine blow by crap in them. even the bleeder valve has sludge coming out of it.

cbf sifting through 120 posts to check, but wouldnt it be fair to get a dyno figure of the "current" state of tune, after all this is the state of tune you recorded your times in.

No cheating!

The dyno I had done 230rwhp @4700rpm with ping issue, IS the state of tune I ran the 13.3 with.

I cbf looking up the threads that contain the details of the night at the drags story, it contains the description of the symptoms I have still got today.

Plugs are white in modern engines unless very rich so be carefull

reading plugs if you don't know what to look for.

The sensors fine and changed often and this week we've had

heaps of race cars on the Dyno for the 2 day event and some

have made big HP and not broken so the sensors good but will

need to be replaced after the all Avgas.

my plugs showed no signs of leanout, so it makes the problem even more wierd. It's possible still that one piston is running out of injector flow at the ping rpm.

I've gapped the 7s down to 0.7mm now and will see if this helps any.

I cleaned the intercooler, it had a reasonable although thin coating of blow-by oil in it. So that should help a little.

When my back (now completely stuffed) has healed I will change the fuel filter and I'll think about the upper plenum removal so I can get at the injectors.

On the same dyno my car only has about 190hp at 4700rpm to make 245hp peak power by 6630rpm. I figure once sorted dave should be making around 280hp :)

I know what you're saying Rob but I tend to disagree.

Rev210's car has a stock turbo, intercooler etc. With only boost and safc I doubt any r33 could record 208Kw at the tyres on a properly calibrated dyno...

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
