Hi again guys and girls.

Firstly every one who has replied to my previous topics, thanks.

Can some one tell me why whenever i give my car( R32 GTS4 Turbo) full boot i get full boost and get an intermittent backfiring. I've got new Spark Plugs gapped to 0.8mm, New Splitfire Coil Packs, and Running 11PSI.

I'm thinking my car is running way to rich!!

Other mods- Turbo back Exhaust, pod filter and HDI Boost Controller.

Any help or advice is well received.

Mark :(

Car has not been tuned, as i've been told by x-speed that the won't tune factory computers, i haven't bee n to any other performance shops yet though, so help with that would be good

no loss of power although does feel a sluggish occassionally. if i jsu raise the foot off a lil bit all is good again...

Theres your problem, you should take it to another workshop.

Where abouts are you located. If its not to much of a hassle take it to hyperdrive. Andrew is very helpful.

I'm living in Leeming at the moment, soon to be living in Thornlie.

Ah ok, i was under the impression that i need a retune at some stage. Hyperdrive, any others that people know of??

hehe, i thought x-speed were not as good as they make out to be, expensive to!!

depending on how far you want to go with the car.

If you only want to keep it mildly modified

Just get it remapped or nistune from hyperdrive. You probably wont get much or if any additional power but the car will function perfectly.

cool, cheers dude!!

If i wanted to take things a lil further wat u recommend??

Just get yourself an R33 series 1 turbo, and a stock ecu flash tune.

Whats that like $700 or less?

I dunno how much the R32 ECU retune costs. But a stock R33 turbo is about $300?

    • Nothing wears "the most". Different cars will always show signs in a different place. 114000 km is either nothing at all (as in, given the calendar age, nearly brand new) or it's completely unbelievable. We stopped believing numbers like that about 15 years ago. Having said that, my car is up around 270000 km and I have put bushes into some places** as many as 10 times in >25 years that I've owned it. ** FUCAs, which are different on an R32 than on a 33, so not likely to be the same issue for you. I have original ball joints all the way around. They are perfectly fine. Same with the spindle bearings in the front. Tie rod ends have all been done at least once though. Pretty much every other bush in the car has been done at least twice. Some of those in the first 100000km after I got it (which was at a genuine 23000!). Some of those bushes are now sphericals, and they are on a <cough> regular maintenance schedule, hence why my FUCAs have been rebuilt so many times. Half of those 10 in the count above would be in the last few years! 'twere I you, I would budget on replacing everything, for fun and prevention. If they really are 30 year old rubber, they will all be unpleasantly aged in one way or another. Whether that's corrosion of shells, or the rubber cracking, or sagging under the load, etc etc.
    • Tighten until it starts to get loose again, then back off 1/4 turn?
    • Do them as you'll find when you remove them they are perished/dried.    Its probably one of the best things to do as makes the car so much more responsive. Do ball joints while there too.
    • Hi All Got an R33, about 114,000km on the clock.  Handles very nice, no signs of issues.    Engine is out and i'm doing an underbody refresh, mainly painting subframe, cosmetics etc. Can't see anything physically giving play, but I'm wondering which bushes are the ones that wear the most, or the first ones that may give problems down the track? For good measure I'm thinking to fit new ones. Thanks
