hey guys just really getting annoyed with my car when driving it cold or even first line in dash water temp...

i just drive ok soon as i hit 3000/4000rpm just sounds like it splatters/hesitates, exhaust sound is like brrrrr brrr when between that rev range but when its fully warm no problem at all runs good...just dont get it..

any ideas guys cause have to always wait till it warms up fully and is a pain..

Well i just changed the turbo to slightly bigger and it is doing it all of a sudden never done it with the stock one... just when im about to hit boost which is the revs i described....

Under oiled turbo? u mean like no oil coming through or just takes a while to get oil in until its fuilly warm....seems like that.

your probably hitting R+R because its still cold and you have a bigger turbo

doubt its anything to do with turbo bearings being under oiled

not much you can do about it if you still have the std ECU, its a tuning thing

if it was the bearings it be stuffed and smoking and all plus i have a braided line which came with the turbo which was new and i have a greddy computer on it so im sure its a tuning thing as it wasnt really tuned only tuned for detonation as in power tune...its still ok but just takes awhile to warm up but i guess i can live with that for now :)

my r32 has the same issue exactly for over 6 months now. Stock ECU, stock r33 turbo. I had a TR43 turbo before but changed to a r33 turbo now - I've changed fuel pump, coil packs, spark plugs and O2 sensor, still there. Funny thing is, the issue goes away EXACTLY when the temp gauge hits half way mark - on the DOT!

any other ideas? :(

i maybe thought it was going into coldstart mode so thought it was the water temp sensor but guess not...like u said when its half way or at its normal engine temp its all good.....Maybe FPR or AFM...

Has to be ecu just going a lil koo koo until it hits its normal operating temp.Tune must be the last option i guess.

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      R33 fuel setup

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
