To follow up the 33 made it 2 years straight outright in the Motorkhana event - Anyone would think I'm the only GTR in the Territory... Anyway, anyone seen this ? I think the blue car

Saw a new ad on imparja this weekend for the drags on the 25th.

Theres about 2 seconds footage of my gtr doing a burnout. All the other cars are V8s.

Anyone know any insiders at imparja who could get more footage?

Yeah Matty's Skyline-Driftn.

Good price for the ecu man. You'll have to get it tuned for your car tho!

That ecu is tuned for his car, not yours. So cant just plug and play :starwars:

But for that price, its worth getting and then saving up for a quick trip to adel or somewhere for a good tunnnnneeeee!

But for the mean time get Carmello to have a good play around with the hand control!!! Might save you some time and get a decent tune of that and he's pretty good apparently at tuning. Better then dallas anyway.

Fark man, that price is a steal haha.

There is a feature in the latest High Performance Imports #93 about tuning Power Fc's from scratch on Skylines.

Would probably be best to reset your ecu and do a safety tune before driving the 33. Less chance of the motor going pop!

Make sure you get all instruction manuals & user guides that always come in the original packaging.

If not there is heaps of info on sau.

yeah i found heaps of info on it and will wait untill craig goes 2 adelaide or ill get the car sent down 2 adelaide myself. i have 2 buy the hand controler as it doesnt come with the ecu so once i get that and save enough money im sending it 2 morpowa in adelaide they built my car so i guess its best 2 get them 2 do it.

yeah man good call, as nice as it is to feel the power from more boost you then have to look at reliability as well, dont get me wrong like craig said your engine will handle it but its what you feel comfortable with, if i ever get my car turbo as hard as it will be to not wind up the boost i just have to stop and think relliability over power,

choice is yours man

Research is the key to modding!

As fab said, he's running 13 no worries with same engine. And i've got many other skylines in the wrx forum running the 13-14 bracket. Just have a good long read on what others are running with the same mods... And i think it be a really good idea to get a mod's list of the guy you brought it off cause it sounds like he was yanking your chain a bit. Cause' him saying you have 200kw yet when you placed on the wicked exhaust it went sour... doesnt sound right. It sucks to be honest that it went like that. Plus, knowing what he has done is a good thing so you can continue modding other areas.

Your words, not mine. ^^^

After you installed the exhaust it was smoking badly and poppin' flames almost every gear change. Thats not going sour?

Reseting the ecu only clears errors the ecu might be having and adds/minus timing to compensate for the fuel thats it been getting.. 95ron. Thats all the ecu reset does. And makes it learn if a new part has been put on due to free flowing or more power... exhaust for instance.. New one put on. Doesnt matter what make or model, most people reset the ecu after any new part has been installed so it can learn to make do with the new flowing/power.

After the reset we did on yours, it blew half as much smoke ( and wasnt as dark as it use to be ) when i was following you and it went alot harder then before by a great deal. Yet, the problems was there way before the ecu reset man. Thats why some of us suggested a reset. It doesnt do major damage or stuffs things up. Just clears bugs and bad batches of fuel and other things. Plus learns new mods.. Thats all..

We're all mates on here and all i did was give you a hand with the ecu cause you were blowing alot of smoke. Thats all. What ever problems you've encounted are not due to the ecu reset. Reasons above.

As i said before. Good luck with the pfc and hope it fixes your problems. Aswell as the new coil packs you said you were getting.

      Auto Electrician Workshop Recommendation for Reverse Camera Not Working CKV36 (SYD or WOL)

      By JoVo · Posted

      Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.

      to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it

      A31 Digital Climate Control

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
