Hi Ppl,

just recently had my r33 serviced, and noticed that the stock boost guage while the car is idle, sits about a quarter the way up the guage (between -7 and 0)...is this normal. I'm pretty sure it stayed at -7 before when idle?

Also, at around the same time, I took the car in for a wheel alignment because the rear tyres are wearing on the inside, but then was told that because it was IRS, that nothing could be done. Why would IRS effect camber??

cheers

mine only sits on about -9 on my E-01 on idle and -12 when off throttle cruising down a hill ...

Indicates a vacuum leak somewhere but my idle etc is smooth as and no stalling issues etc ???? think mine is due to some dodgy vacuum line plumbing when the FMIC was installed....

my mates 32 sits on -15 to -20 on idle.... which is on the -7 (and beyond) on the standard guage

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Had a chat to Tony Mamo - he advised that looking at the graph's shape (regardless of number translation) it shouldn't be levelling off like that up top. He said it looks like the car is running a restrictor plate or something of that nature. Luckily the last dyno pull on E85 was saved to the PC - So I did a quick trace of Barometric KPA vs Intake manifold pressure, and lo and behold I see a copy of the 'waves' I was seeing on the dyno: I'm not entirely sure how to go about addressing this. It may be worth sacrificing IAT to run a more direct intake for the motor. Though packaging this could be flat out impossible given the constraints of the car. I should have removed the intake pipe to see if this made a difference but looking at this graph I now have something to potentially test in the future and think about.

      Oh, I forgot too, all the multimedia stuff captured and sold through things like people playing Pokemon Go. Pokemon Go specifically, can actually be traced all the way back to a CIA investment company too. So yep, they're watching everything. Not to mention the new stuff where they've worked out how to use WiFi signals to be able to map occupants inside of a building. That one would be something that I see being more used in public/government buildings, as you need to understand the signals when the room has no one in it first. It's not as easy as Hollywood would like you to think it is.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.
