Hello, just a few questions, i have a stockish r33 gts-t..

i've recently got my catback exhaust put it... anyway my mates saying i should get "front and dump pipes" anyone know whats the difference between this and 'extractors'? thanks..

also, whats the difference between tuning and remapping?

also, my mates saying i have adjustable coilovers. what are they? and what do th ey do?

also, when im steering ALL The way to the right It makes a noise like my cars scraping onto something.. (normally int he cold.. doesnt hapepn allt he time)

Also, if a front mount intercooler makes the fluttering, isnt that what a blow off valve does? is it a good idae to get a fmic and a blow off valve together?

what do they do exactly?

When turning on my engine, i have to hold my key for about 2-3 seconds before the engine turns on, my friends saying i need new spark plugs? is this true? why? and how much will it cost?

Btw. what does 200rwkw Run quarter mile?

sorry people but im learning, hope you all can be of help.

thanks

thanks!

Hello, just a few questions, i have a stockish r33 gts-t..

Extractors (Exhaust Manifold) is what your turbo is bolted on to, Front and dump pipes is the pipes which connect to the exhaust manifold / turbo.

It is the front part of the exhaust system then your cat converter then your cat back exhaust.

also, whats the difference between tuning and remapping?

Tuning / Remapping, it can be part of the same process... Eg if you want to run more boost, ppl usually "remap" the ECU to improve Air / Fuel ratios and make sure they are correct when running higher boost, that's whats called tuning.

also, my mates saying i have adjustable coilovers. what are they? and what do th ey do?

It's your suspension setup.

This allows you to adjust the height of your car.

It give your the advantage to lower your car to improve it's handling.

also, when im steering ALL The way to the right It makes a noise like my cars scraping onto something.. (normally int he cold.. doesnt hapepn allt he time)

:P Could be just your tyres rubbing up against the inner wheel guard when you do a full lock right turn.

You got bigger wheels and tyres on the front?

Also, if a front mount intercooler makes the fluttering, isnt that what a blow off valve does? is it a good idae to get a fmic and a blow off valve together?

what do they do exactly?

A front mount intercooler (FMIC) does not make the "Fluttering" noise, only an aftermarket blow off valve (BOV) makes the flutter / dose noise.

FMIC will only gain your performance if you are running a high amount of boost to improve your cooling.

You already have a stock BOV and no need to change it.

Aftermarket BOV are useless, just makes noise and that's it.

When turning on my engine, i have to hold my key for about 2-3 seconds before the engine turns on, my friends saying i need new spark plugs? is this true? why? and how much will it cost?

:) ... Never heard of this before.

Only reason I would turn the key and wait 2-3 seconds before starting it up is to allow the fuel pump to get the fuel pumping...

Btw. what does 200rwkw Run quarter mile?

You might have to ask a few R33 GTS-T owners on here.

sorry people but im learning, hope you all can be of help.

thanks

thanks!

:D Cool!

you know not to hold your wheel at full lock right its bad for your power steering pump..

the delay in cranking could be an aftermarket fuel pump priming, is it noisey when cold?

as for the 1/4 mile ET there is so much room for difference (suspension, tyres, driver etc)

you would have to go to the drags and find out, saying that I would assume low 13's

get a front and split dump pipe and tune it then find out :P

do you guys reckon i need extractors for my full exhaust system? also

since i got adjustable coilovers, is it hard to higher/lower a car? and is it expensive?

No you will not need aftermarket extractors unless you have a modified (bigger) turbo.

I have not done it myself but I don't think its hard to adjust your suspension, just takes time and you will probably need a wheel alignment after lowering the car.

Just get your mechanic to do it and it should not cost too much, whatever labor cost your mechanic charges

gotta love the way you answer questions!

tops! :/

Haha!!

Thanks buddy! :(

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that ne side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.

      Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.

      Hey good to see you on the forums! Haha Considering this cars past with electronic issues I am leaning towards it being a wiring fault somewhere in the engine bay. When testing the ac relay in the fuse box there was no earth trigger. I am probably going to try "bench test" the compressor by giving it direct ground and power to see if i can hear the ac clutch click otherwise I will be pretty sure I have a dead compressor. If it does work then I will be tracing some wiring it seems.
