unless you have an aftermarket ecu it can't be tuned.

10psi is ok for the stock cooler, but you are better off with a front mount because the stock cooler is tiny and suffers from heat soak exceptionally fast.

as for flutter, you won't get it just by adding a pod, however you will be able to hear the induction noise and bov noise better.

what do you mean it cant be tuned..you can still adjust timing and idle without an ECU and you can gap your spark plugs..that is tuning... Not that you should need to but it doesnt hurt to have it checked..

Maybe Ideally I should of said go get a dynorun but who cares..

On the street the stock cooler is adequate as long as your not driving around on redline..it is also more responsive

and what noise does a BOV make..flutter and with a pod you will hear it more so yes it will flutter a bit just by adding a pod..mine did..

Your gay tonight Mad go ride your bike...

You are no where!!

He asked for someone with knowledge, get out of this thread.

screw you hippy....my car ran 11psi thru a stock cooler and a pod and quite happily made 185kws all day everyday for years and it used to flutter when I lifted off so how am I no where ??

Maybe it is you that has no knowledge as you have offered nothing in the form of opinion other than to disagree with me..

So get outta my face

ARTZ - are the letters RET missing from the front of your username?

with a stock bov, you will not hear flutter. if the bov is blocked you will hear flutter.

the guy is talking about his skyline not a carb POS.

the stock R33 ecu can't be tuned.

you have the option of modifying it or replacing it with an aftermarket one.

or go real cheap and get a signal bender like SAFC so you can make changes to a:f ratios.

Adjusting Timing and idle and spark plug gap is tuning for a valiant.

OP - 10psi is fine (especially in tasmania) but you may come across the missfire type CUTOUT on cold nights on 10psi with no tuning and stock 20 year old coil packs.

If you want Flutter like you hear on silvias or your favourite japanese high power cars on youtube, you will need to block off the factory bov (not recommended).

I can tune my suspension but it doesnt have an ECU

I can tune my radio, again no ECU

I can tune a guitar it also has no ECU

and yes I can tune my skyline to some extent without touching the ECU..

And as tilksie said you CAN remap a stock ECU which is tuning it

are you trying to tell me I should not adjust my timing idle or spark plug gap on my skyline, because all have been adjusted at some point or another..shit should I change them all back to stock :O

Now OP obviously has limited knowledge here and all I was implying is that he has his car checked out by a professional after changing things like boost and filters. At no point did I suggest he change his timing I was just making a point that other things can be tuned not just the ECU....

when you put a pod on the the BOV air mixes with the turbo reverb and causes somewhat of a flutter noise when you back off, no it isnt Hektik BOV flutter but it is a flutter noise none the less..

But you know it all numskulls come in here with your tiny ewang in your hand and your limited knowledge of bullshit and try to belittle me.. . bring it on fags Ive had a shit week and Im just in the mood for your BS..

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to more wrt the other.

      I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Butters · Posted

      Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.

      I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?

      I'd suggest the answer to the first question is at least a qualified "yes". I'll come back to that. Pineapples just don't do a lot to solidify the mounting of the subframe. They do a little bit, and that little bit was clearly helpful to me in the past, but the main thing they are intended to be used for is to tip the orientation of the subframe to try to either dial in more or less anti-squat. You can install them one way to try to increase launch traction, or the other way to try to increase lateral grip (at the notional expense of longitudinal traction). Or, as I did, you install them neutral, which only really offers a little bit of "snugging" up of the subframe. When I did pineapples, that was the only option. No-one had a machined alloy collar like the GKTech ones. There were some other options, but nothing like the slip in collars. And it is clear from looking at them that they occupy almost all the free space inside the rubber bush, so they will do a lot to stop them moving internally. So I thought, "that's the game for me!". Obviously the next/adjacent step is poly bushes, but what's the point in doing that with all the work and hassle required to change them over, when jamming (and I mean literally jamming) some alloy into the rubber bushes probably gives an equivalent, or possibly even superior result? So, to go back to your 1st question, I would suggest, for the investment of <<$100 and a morning spent lying under the car swearing and getting some sore fingers, it is certainly something you should try. Who knows? Maybe your situation is so severe that it doesn't solve it. But it might help a lot. If your problem is as severe as you say it is, the next thing to look at is what the rest of the bushes in the rear end are made from. Things like the Hardrace arms with hardened rubber bushes might be a good thing (for the purposes of having adjustability AND stiffer bushes). Otherwise, just poly bushes throughout could be a help. Or following in my fever dream footsteps and putting a lot of sphericals into the rear? Eliminate undersired movement to avoid the build up of resonances that cause the tramp. Also, if you have adjustable uppers in the rear, and you haven't put effort into adjusting the traction arms to minimise bump steer, there might be some advantage in that. If you don't want to go to the effort of doing it yourself (like I am pretty much forced to in Adelaide, owing to a lack of race alignment specialists) then surely there's a place in Melbs that is able to do it. It will cost $$, But that's life.
