got a r33 gtr with power fc, thing was pullin 257kw at the wheels then the next time got it tuned they had to bring it back 9 degrees cause it was pinging of its head. so as a result not getting i was much power now its pretty much back to standard. not naming anyone but when i asked what was the reason for it, i was told that they didnt no:-( its still driving ok from what i can gather but just wondering if anyone has any opions on what might be going on?

going to see someone about it next week but would mind gettin a few opions as i have not much of an idea. thanks:-)

did they adjust the CAS or adjust the ignition timing on the IGN MAP on the hand controller?

adjusting the CAS is braindead and the lazy way, and it affects the whole tune

but if they did it on the IGN map its ok. what fuel are you using?

cars usually knock different on the dyno vs on the street so its normal to see some knocking on the street after a full tune

i didnt get much feed back at all, he just said dont panic drive it for a while and see what happens. considering he is spost to be one of the best you think he would have some idea. im was using 100 octane but have to use the 98 and im putting the octaine booter in it but its not really makin much diffrence. anyway hopin this new guy i will take it too can sort it out. this shit is depressing. feel like im drivin me mums collrola sometimes:-)

so you got it tuned on 100 and now your using 98?

no wonder its knocking, you need to get it retuned on 98, the timing will be heaps different

until you get it re-tuned on 98 baby it around, backdial the CAS or use the powerfc temp ign adjust (covered in the PFC FAQ in my signature)

the PFC temp ign adjust is the quickest way to temporary reduce timing across the whole map

    • Rear doors central locking wiring removed and cleaned. See the first 8sec video of when it’s filled with river silt. its a snip of what I’m up against. front and rear doors complete now. Maybe another day removing carpet and bits and pieces. Then the re assembly begins. 🤙 att.DqweJqhY5MZiZYQDVMhn3LtvdD1RBZ7TBG4f2s7W1zM.mp4 att.lFuN22MZEowqCbFAXoDw009r2gHL76ChMVfxMfBX-uk.mp4
    • There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.
    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
