Nah, got someone else to do it on a dyno. After watching it once though, I think I could do it myself now on a dyno. Anyway..... I'll tell you something else though..

I went to someone who claimed he could "street tune" the SAFC for $50 (coz a dyno tune was over $100, and i had no job and was a tight arse). I told him I wanted the hesitating at 5500 rpm that was so common to boosted R33's sorted out. This guy did the worst tune, basically did stuff all difference to A/F ratio's, but he wound the timing right back to 10 deg, so I wouldn't feel the hesitation... Needless to say the car ran like SH1T!!! Smooth, but slower than in stock form!

So anyhow, I wound the timing up to 17deg, boosted to 11psi, and took it to get it dyno tuned. Needless to say I was very happy with the results afterwards.

If u aren't experienced or confident enough to tune it yourself (and u r at the risk of wasting ur engine if you lean it out too much), take it to a dyno where u can have a lot more confidence in your tune....

Thought I would show you my FMIC,

I purchased this FMIC second hand for under $1000 and it bolts striaght up to the existing plumbing...

It's not too big but you can tell it does the job. The biggest improvement was the flow (up high like 4500 rpm) compared to the stock I/C. Then you also notice less heat soak on warm days.

Anyways, I am also aiming for as close to 200 rwkw's as I can. The below FMIC will be fine:

Hay mates what about the EVO 4 intercooler? Becasue i also thinking of upgrades the standard intercooler, the garage guy rekon me to put an EVO 4 intercooler for my R33 GTST! But i haven't done it yet, because i'm still thinking of it. Does it make lots different, if i put the EVO 4 intercooler? Has anyone done it b4!

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      And these modern "environmentally friendly" EV vehicles also run on the same smoke! When the engine, wiring, or batteries let it escape it also stops running!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yeah - I found the same information too.. 30% open is like 85% of flow etc. So it's probably going to be minor if not completely imperceptible. I also have a larger pod filter here, will swap that on and see if there's any difference. The hardest part is finding a place to uh, test this. It's quite noticable just how much having ducting to the otherwise completely open pod cools the intake temps down. It's better boxed, or shielded but driving for 30 seconds really makes it plummet to near ambient temperatures. I recall in the past when I was a RB land and had a nice flowing airbox -  - Then I took the lid off and put a pod there, and gained 9 psi of boost and about 60kw from the restriction I didn't know I had - with the controller at same duty cycle. However finding people using over the radiator intakes having similar KPA drops at WOT on built setups makes me think there restriction could be the exhaust or potentially the headers. Either way though, there's no real estate to play with and nothing that can realistically be done about it. The original dyno plot without the airbox, and the larger pod had a better curve. It was later I added the ducting and airbox, and a smaller pod to make it fit in there...

      That's not completely truthful now is it? Any flex fuelled factory cars also had the option to run on steam.

      R33 general questions

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah so I guess your mechanic would know turnaround better than me....but I would have thought you had access to same day or overnight rack rebuilds there....any big city here in Australia has that service.   There are a couple of o-rings and seals involved, I guess the risk is the part is specific not general. Other option is if you can have it on stands in your garage for a while, steering rack removal is pretty simple (2 mounting brackets, 2 ball joints (separate by undoing the nut to the top of the threads, put a pry bar between the steering arm and control arm to put pressure on it then medium force on the side of the ball joint or top of the nut with a hammer to break it free) and then the trickiest bit is the splines to the steering rack (not too bad to undo, one nut then it slides out, but mark it first so you can reassemble it straight)

      WGNC34 Rear springs

      Looks like whiteline don't do springs any more, part# used to be 70191 from a search. Any spring for a 32/33 GTR should fit, just look for something factory not lowered/firmer unless that is your goal
