Gday wanting to get a bit of advice.

I recently rebuilt the entire head on my R33. (snapped a cam shaft clean in half)

We were worried that one of the valves might have gone through the piston head so decided to not risk it and pull the whole head off and see. Did that and realised that clearance was way to far and valve didnt come anywhere near piston head. Anyway had the head off so i decided to rebuild the whole head. Got some heavy duty cam shafts, cam gears etc etc etc. All this rebuild stuff was done by a mechanic specialising in Rb25 heads.

Anyway now that the head is built and put on after the car has heatened up a bit once i get into boost its like she is just cutting out. exactly the same as when you would your boost controller up too high and kinda flood the engine.

was told that its most likely my coil packs had crack in them and electricity was spraying into the head causing a shirt to happen. It made sense so i got them all tested and they all came back A grade.

Now i am told that my HKS EVC might be the problem- i checked this and it did look like some hoses were hooked up wrong, i fixed these ( i think) and problem seems to be ok. I havent driven the bastards for a long period of time however as im getting it ready for a show.

Has anyone got an opinion on this.

help me out guys- i hope ive fixed it but im not 100 percent sure.

      To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
