Hey Peeps,

Though i might introduce myself in the ACT thread! Well firstly if i dont reply its not cos i dont wanna its cos i dont have the internet much atm, but once its connected youll see me on here heaps!

I just sold my 250 rwkw soarer for a standard skyline, kind of always wanted one but was after something stock and manual :) well i got that

My beast wagon is a Maroon manual series 1 r33 with zorst and thats about it, looking at doing a few little things like fmic, dump pipe small things like that and some hids cant believe how bad the lights are on it.

Need to sort out a miss that it has on idle, ive cleaned the afm to no avail. Might try the idle controller thingy (tip from a fellow liner)

Anyone on here interested in or does powerlifting as a hobbie?

Kind Regards

PK

Welcome.

Also could be a coil or 2 arking to the head before getting to the sparkie. Very common occurance. Remedy:New splitfires etc or new standard coils. Way to test, borrow someones working coil and replace each one, one by one untill it stops, if not, then maybe something else.

I would assume the usual Autobarn etc places would have it. If you talk to Nathan (Nath32) who usually works at either Belco or Fyshwick Autobarn and get chumy, you might be able to score a discount on stuff.

@ testing stuffed coils.... I think you'd be lucky if just one was stuffed. I had 2-3 that were stuffed. If you want to find out if it's the coils, remove the coilpack cover, go for a hard drive at night, pull over and pop the hood, stick ur head in and see if u can spot the arc'ing. It's dead obvious :P

Welcome!

I will be in the same boat i will need gps for the first month. I dont move there for another month should have our house in a week or two.

Welcome well sort of since i dont live there yet.

So why did you move there?

    • If you are keeping the current calipers you need to keep the current disc as the spacing of the caliper determines the disc diameter. Have you trial fitted the GTS brakes fit on a GTSt hub or is this forward planning? There could be differences in caliper mount spacing, backing plate and even hub shape that could cause an issue.
    • Hi there I have a r33 gts with 4 stud small brakes, I'm going to convert to 5 stud but keep the small brakes, what size rotor would I need?
    • First up, I wouldn't use PID straight up for boost control. There's also other control techniques that can be implemented. And as I said, and you keep missing the point. It's not the ONE thing, it's the wrapping it up together with everything else in the one system that starts to unravel the problem. It's why there are people who can work in a certain field as a generalist, IE a IT person, and then there are specialists. IE, an SQL database specialist. Sure the IT person can build and run a database, and it'll work, however theyll likely never be as good as a specialist.   So, as said, it's not as simple as you're thinking. And yes, there's a limit to the number of everything's in MCUs, and they run out far to freaking fast when you're designing a complex system, which means you have to make compromises. Add to that, you'll have a limited team working on it, so fixing / tweaking some features means some features are a higher priority than others. Add to that, someone might fix a problem around a certain unrelated feature, and that change due to other complexities in the system design, can now cause a new, unforseen bug in something else.   The whole thing is, as said, sometimes split systems can work as good, and if not better. Plus when there's no need to spend $4k on an all in one solution, to meet the needs of a $200 system, maybe don't just spout off things others have said / you've read. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet, including in translated service manuals, and data sheets. Going and doing, so that you know, is better than stating something you read. Stating something that has been read, is about as useful as an engineering graduate, as all they know is what they've read. And trust me, nearly every engineering graduate is useless in the real world. And add to that, if you don't know this stuff, and just have an opinion, maybe accept what people with experience are telling you as information, and don't keep reciting the exact same thing over and over in response.
    • How complicated is PID boost control? To me it really doesn't seem that difficult. I'm not disputing the core assertion (specialization can be better than general purpose solutions), I'm just saying we're 30+ years removed from the days when transistor budgets were in the thousands and we had to hem and haw about whether there's enough ECC DRAM or enough clock cycles or the interrupt handler can respond fast enough to handle another task. I really struggle to see how a Greddy Profec or an HKS EVC7 or whatever else is somehow a far superior solution to what you get in a Haltech Nexus/Elite ECU. I don't see OEMs spending time on dedicated boost control modules in any car I've ever touched. Is there value to separating out a motor controller or engine controller vs an infotainment module? Of course, those are two completely different tasks with highly divergent requirements. The reason why I cite data sheets, service manuals, etc is because as you have clearly suggested I don't know what I'm doing, can't learn how to do anything correctly, and have never actually done anything myself. So when I do offer advice to people I like to use sources that are not just based off of taking my word for it and can be independently verified by others so it's not just my misinterpretation of a primary source.
    • That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
