Just wondering what does the Trans fluid does in your tank??

is it safe??

"Other things that will help are cleaning the injectors (one of the best things is to put a bout 250mls of Auto-Trans fluid in the tank next time you fill it up), between doing this and replacing the fuel filter it will make a big diference. "

Jimbo, 1000rpm idle is too high unless your engine stalls at a lower rpm (a/m cams for example maybe). Try setting it to around 700 or so and see if it gives you any issues. The lower the idle speed you can get, the better.

Teka, I have nfi what transmission fluid will do in your fuel, but whatever the alleged benefits, don't you think you would be better off buying some proper injector cleaner?

The ATF trick comes from a qualified mechanic, he says its as good as injection cleaner and works even better if they are real dirty. Ive done it on my car with no problems. If you want just use injection cleaner, ive done both.

All ATF does other then cleaning all the shit is lubricate everything

it seems to have fixed itself after the cruise, the engine got a good workout!!! only got about 300km from that tank but filled up on the way home and it lasted 448km... see what happens next fill, then go onto oil change that is due soon, then the gaps after that!!!!

bit of a spin out :D

will keep posted

      R33 RB25DET oem turbo replacement options

      By tylink720 · Posted

      If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok.

      R33 RB25DET oem turbo replacement options

      By KyoyaR33 · Posted

      Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions

      So i brought a boat...

      How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!

      Is the Clock Spring and Steering angle sensor the same thing?

      By silviaz · Posted

      So the clockspring is responsible for the indicators cancelling on their own? I thought that was the function of that white thing in the center (any idea what it's called?)

      Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion
