Guest 382 GZV - 4 Door R33

G'day,

Just thought I'd introduce myself (after checking out SAU a bit). May have seen me round a bit - live near UQ.

After having completely broken the auto transmission in my N13 Pulsar for the 2 time in 16 months, I figured I needed something sturdier. I found nirvana at the end of Feb after waiting for over a year :)

I'll try posting a pic of my car on, it may be too big though. It's nothing flash, just the only photo on my computer atm. I wanted something I could keep for a while and since I'm already married (only 20 though) and kids may be sometime in the future, it had to be a 4 door.

Anyways, if you want, say hi when you see me and lemme know what's good and what's not with mods as I am planning on doing something year.

Steve

PS. Skidpan day was great slip; will defnitely be doing the next one :P:D :D

Mountains are mad :-) Is it true that guys drift around corners on the mountain so it's pretty slow going??

What are you getting done to your car slip?

Hey, I found driving a skyline is a bit different to driving a Pulsar. I use to have to sit flat footed everywhere round town in the pulsar. When I got the skyline I was in the habit of flattening the accelerator (had to use a fair bit of braking to keep it in check). So I was only getting 280 - 350 a tank! :-( At least it is better now...say 460 a tank. At least I can save for go-fast bits now.

:):D :D

Welcome GZV...

I have recently had my first baby... thus traded in my beloved DOHC Jap-spec VTEC Civic (15 sec quarters) for my black 4 dr manual, too. Turbo cars are certainly different in their power delivery. Civic made more and more power through the rev range - right up to 8700rpm! R33 gives a couple of BIG shoves, one at around 3000rpm and the next at 5500rpm. With the boost wound up a little to 10 psi I'm pretty sure the standard computer is overfuelling and retarding the timing - from what I've read here in the forum - causing a flat-spot btwn 4200 and 5500rpm. (Maybe MicK51 has a few ideas!) Hoping to get that sorted one day - hopefully soon - but probably when my boy goes to school (in 5 years!!!) and my wife goes back to full-time work!!! Who knows...

Will post a foto here of my 4dr in next couple of days!

Would love to do something on the track. Have taken Honda out b4 but not the 'line yet! Just for the hell of it...

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
