Hi everyone!!!

I've just signed up on the site so I'm not sure what am doing and if I'm in the right section.

I had the R33 S-II for about a year and got an Interceptor fitted. Eve since I had it I have issues with ignitions around 3.5 - 4K RPM.

being through 3 different tuners and spent a fortune but same story.

Just wondering if anyone’s successfully done this before?

the car is converted to Manual and got a high flowed turbo , greddy ele. boost controller

Thanks in advance !!! :P

try give my tuner a ring, he's in WA and will point you in the right direction. he is a haltech guru

Thanks Eric... Will try first thing tomorrow !!!

I was thinking if this is useless, then get Nistune done. Has anyone done Nistune on a R33 series 2 before. because ignition/ coil packs are different in series I and series II ???

Any ideas pls????

i don't think nistune do a board for the R33, S1 or S2. also having the ignitors in the coils doesn't make a difference to the ecu. you've converted to manual, there are better options for engine management out there.

Thanks for the reply mate !! I know there are few different options out there but it all comes down to the cost of goods and installation then of course tuning. Nistune works out cheap even if I did it using a RB20 ECU, but the question is does this setup work on R33 S-II. I heard it works fine on series I cars coz the ignition is same in RB20 and RB25 series I.

Other option would be to find a 2nd hand PFC…

shouldn't be a problem, just have to check all the pinouts and match them up. all that comes from the ecu is the ignition signal, in 32's an S1 33's it goes to an ignitor pack which then fires the coils, in the S2 the signal goes straight to the coil which has a built in ignitor. the signal is the same from the ecu, just handled differently at the engine side of things.

mmmmm that explains a lot and makes sence. !!!! :ninja:

Had a chat to Andrew from Hyperdrive today and also Sam from Dr Drift who's got a daughter board for R33 ECU ($1100). So I guess I can either use RB20 ecu and Greddy MSS(for VCT) to do Nistune or get Sam to install the daughter board onR33 ecu and make it tuneable. I'm wating to hear back from Andrew coz after all he the tuner. I'm paying for not consulting a / the tuner and buying an Interceptor which cannot be properly tuned on a R33. I spoke to Aaron from In Tune today, he's willing to check the wiring and do few test ot see what's wrong but I think it's best to just remove the Interceptor and get a fully functional and well tuneable ECU rather than a piggyback..

    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible. 
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
