Hi All,

Just picked up my R33 few days ago & i love it, i've wanted one for ages.

Unfortunately, I think i've already broken it:(

I heard about the 2 stage boost & thought i would make it 2nd stage(7psi) all the way & ground the boost solenoid.

I'm pretty handy & have been into electronics & mechanics for years (i'm 42), so last night i thought i would do the mod.

Well I read the entire thread on that before attempting it, & then did it as specified.

(cut& ground the black wire from the solenoid , not touching the white)

It seemed fairly idiot proof...

When I went to test it on my way to work this morning it would not rev over 2500rpm, just kept coughing until i dropped the revs below 2500, like the fuel limiter was activating.

I freaked out (i only just got the car), & put it back to standard& re attached the cut black wire, but it still wont rev over 2500rpm..

Have I broken something? Can I fix this? I'm worried I broke my new toy..

So far I have reset the ECU as specified (disconnect batt & pump brakes & leave for a while)

I hot wired the solenoid to see if it works (it does)

& I tried running the car with the solenoid grounded & ungrounded full time

Still only 2500 rpm..

Right now I'm leaving the batt disconnected for 24hrs to see it helps the issue.

Please HELP!!!

Oh, and vrey nice to meet you all:)

Welcome.

Now that's out of the way, I'd try the forced induction threads.

Will probably have your answer.

And I highly recommend the SEARCH button.

Multiple threads on the same problem gets very annoying.

But if you can't find it with search, post a new thread.

Oh, try being a little vague, should help het some answers.

Ps, we want pics of your car.

Hope you find the answers you're lookin for.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By BourneToLive · Posted

      Hey, guys, I’m hoping I can find answer here. I have already done some searching and asking around but still nothing.    I fitted an IC7 dash in my R32 GTR, and I got everything displaying on the dash except my high beams. I get input voltage and the high beams displaying in the dash when I pull the lever, but not when I fully engage the high beams. I spliced into the Red/Blue Beam+ wire in the black center connector from the cluster, but there is also a black Beam wire I think I need to use as well. The high beams still work. It’s just a matter of getting it to display on the dash.    Has anyone fully wired in their IC7 properly ? I would appreciate any guidance on this.    IMG_8835.mov

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own

      Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner

      Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
