Haha, yeah, I forgot the shoutout was for Anthony :(

I only got carsales pic ): Which will be updated hopefully tonight.

You can hear me coming AND see me coming ! (Exhaust is at 99 dB)

Depends with future projects, but I was thinking a matte black spray. I haven't seen any in Canberra (Whether or not that's a good or bad thing).

matte on cars= bad idea. a REAL pain to keep. You need to wash it as soon as dust hit its. So pretty much every time you drive it. Get one of the paint shops to match your current colour=win.

I understand they scratch easily but didn't know about it being so sensitive. Washing it weekend shouldn't be to much of an issue though. So, if I was to wash it once a week whilst using it as a daily would that be okay? I do love the current colour ! but have always wanted matte black / grey.

Umm - reduced gap is for more modified vehicles.

If it's stock or near stock then leave the gap at 1.0 or 1.1

I now have no idea on what I should be getting D: I have some of the car opened (bigger pod, exhaust)

Also dude bring it to wheels on the weekend. Good chance to meet heaps of us.

Yeah, Rob was saying ! However, the front bar is emberassing damaged (Not by me! Rob can confirm) and if police are lurking I'll be in for a hefty fine. (Car is legal in NSW but ACT? not really haha).

gap the plugs, see the outcome. If it doesn't work you can always re gap them. I would suggest borrowing robs ones just to check. If this doesn't work:

1. it could also be a clogged fuel filter.

2. Possible vacuum leak on turbo lines OR a hose is split somewhere.

3. 02 sensor??????????????

Also does it do it when you are sitting at 3-4k OR is it under high boost? or both

And when the AFM was cleaned was it 100% checked to be working??

Edit: it is also POSSIBLE (unlikely) that your cat is f**ked and causing air flow issues with the exhaust....

Boost is at around 0.5 -1 bar. At really low boost it seemed to happen a lot sooner and at a higher boost it seemed to last maybe 500 RPM more. But in saying that, we were running around 0.5 bar and when it hits 4k it would splutter out and then pick back up again as if nothing happened.

Once I get some videoes tonight. I'm sure you guys will be able to pick up on what's wrong in an instent. It's a very oblivious sound.

If it was a vacuum/boost hose leak wouldn't it cause either higher OR lower boost than desired depending on where the leak was?

eg.

Pressure leak in solenoid, boost control or waste-gate actuator lines would result in higher boost pressure due to actuator reading low pressure and wastegate opening later or possibly not at all! :O

and

Pressure leak after turbo, intercooler, intake manifold plenum etc would result in lower boost pressure due to...well... loss of pressure?

Also you would possibly be able to hear it leaking anyway, like a high pitched hissing noise...

But I didn't think either of these would necessarily cause the symptoms you are describing BUT... I may be wrong? :S

Maybe due to weird air/fuel mix but yeah...Can anyone confirm?

Should a boost controller be venting the extra psi back into the system like the stock solenoid does?

The normal nipple on the bov return pipe is blocked off but not sure where his controller is bleeding off the extra boost.

That would be a leak if it's not plumbed in yes?

Depends on type of boost controller I think, but in essence, the boost controller should limit the flow to the actuator to increase boost pressure by making the waste-gate open later.

So the most simple set-up will be| Hose from Turbo ---> Boost Controller ---> Hose to waste-gate actuator.

Then all other connections like the stock solenoid hoses etc can be plugged up, just make sure they don't leak.

You can get different types of boost controllers though.

Some withhold/block pressure to waste-gate actuator (like TurboTech and Turbosmart "T-Pieces").

Some vent/bleed pressure somehow, either back into the system or maybe even atmosphere?

And some have a replacement solenoid type thingo. I think these are more for Electronic/Dual Stage Boost Controllers.

Again... may need confirmation as I'm no mechanic/expert lol

Ahhh.... plugs, learn about plugs and what the different colours of soot mean. very important. and easy to do.

Always go with NGK they are the best.

Copper plugs are just as good as platinum, and 5 times cheaper.

And a satin finish is easier to keep than matte, but harder to get right when spraying.

A spray job like that is not usually something you pay for (because matte or satin paint is sht) just diy.

The pad on the spark plug was like a pin, as oppose to a more round / flat one. So the spark must have been not strong enough, also it was rated at 1.1 gap.

It's a clean rev cycle, however towards the end it chops a bit, but that could be the computer needing to fix itself/ tune itself in.

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/

      Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
