Hey guys, I'm new here.

A few weeks ago I bought an R33 GTS. Car is running fine, mechanic checked it out and says it all good under the hood. Only problem is the previous owner had these custom dash lights. They were mats placed over the current dash display, and were wired to light up. They worked fine during the test drive, but between then and the RWC the lights stopped working.

No problem, I removed the dash, pulled the mats off and continued to use the stock dash and lights. Only thing is, now my fuel gauge constantly says its full. I had to remove the needles on all my gauges to remove the mats, and I placed the fuel needle back where it originally was (about half way), but it went straight up to full and now it won't go down. It was working fine beforehand.

I've removed it all again and tried starting with the needle in various positions, but it just keeps jumping back to the full mark.

Is there something I must do to reset the gauge, or do I need to get it professionally looked at? It's no major problem, just an annoyance really.

Thanks.

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
