hey guys.
my names matt, and am completely new to the nissan scene.
have came from a subaru... so there is ALOT to get use to and such.. but i'm loving it!

traded my 03 XS luxury model Forster for a mint condition 96 S2 R33 with 133k on the clock. only mods on it so far are a 3 inch TBE with seperate wastegate pipe on the dump, HKS cannon, pod filter, GFB atmo bov, HDI boost controller w/ gauge and a set of ugly ass 20's :yucky:
but a clean swap for the forester, there was no way i was passing that up!! with more than double the power of what my forester had, i'm more than pleased with my purchase :D

went from this,

to this,

might want to fob off that atmo bov because afm car no like atmo bov.

yes its on the list of things to be removed. will be getting a plumb back bov amongst other things (fmic etc etc) then it will be off for a tune when i get the money.

out of curiosity what does it affect with the car?

the afm measures airflow going into the engine, using that information, tells injectors how much fuel to put int, while the atmo bov releases intake charge into atmosphere, which upsets the whole air flow measurement, so you overfuel.

that is my understanding.

ahh yeah well that might explain why my fuel consumption is dog shit lol.

need to get me a recirc. bov asap!

That can be a number of things... Find yourself a decent tuner that has an idea of what is going on and that should soon be sorted :)

GuiltToy (Anthony) is back tuning in Newcastle, Bellevue have a Mainline dyno now too... You can travel a bit further and see Jez on the Central Coast (He is a guru)...

My advice would be to avoid a certain shop... Starts with B and ends with lacktrack! Myself and many others were left with a bitter taste after being ripped by them in the past...

Enjoy the car and stay away from Newy on Thursday nights!

ahh! i just hit up jez. he tuned my mates RWD forester and done a pretty good job.

thanks man :) yeah definitely staying away from that defect station.. haha!

Jez is good value! And will certainly help you sort your fuel economy issues too!

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech! 
    • You can try shoving a borescope down there to see what's up.
