hello every1 basically for the last 2/3 weeks the car has bein running good then bad then good then bad, basically its auto series 2 r33 gst-t mods inculde single stage boost controller/pod filter/front mount intercooler and apexi safc. standard ecu/turbo ect ect basically the problem is either the car is holding gears too long or there is a boost spike, i had the car running 12psi and the car was just like staying at 3000 rpm and staying there for 2-4 seconds and then i would puch the acc down more and it would just all of a sudden jump to 5000rpm, then i would pop the hood and turn it clockwise 1 turn and then it would go well for a few days then same thing would happen/i have just turned it another 1 full trun down again and it stopped and then did it a lil bit then went ok?? (o yeah i just replaced the air flow meter and pod coz i thought that might be the problem but it must be something else any ideas???what is the problem???then when i have the overdrive on its just the worst it just sits on 2500rpm and takes foreva to get ova the 3000rpm mark!!!i then take the overdrive off and it works ok then 10mins later same problem (oil pressurse round 4 and a 1/4 and engine warm! am i just getting a boost spike? or what is it? should i just turn the boost of alll together? or what should i do?is it the gear box? thankz plz help if u have heard or eva had the same probs :ufo:

ok, its abit hard to work out your problem but i will give it ok

1st. With Boost spike you can not tell it is happening unless u have an aftermarket boost gauge (there for u can see what ur boost is set at and see if it is jumping around)

With an auto skyline, im pretty sure if u just hit the gas the gearbox will kick back a gear and the revs will increase

I cant understand why when people have a problem that they dont do the easiest check first

try the diagnostic if it tells you what your problem is great but even if it doesnt, it knocks out all the posibilities like sensor faults andif it is your auto gear box this should tell you

try this first before spending money for someone else to do it

    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion 
    • So, the other thing I've sorted is a baseline dyno run up at Unigroup's new location. The auto trans was a little unco-operative by both shifting down when the throttle was floored on the dyno (so Mark had to ramp it up more slowly than in a manual) and also by shifting up at 6,000 even in sports mode instead of the indicated redline of 7,000 Still, on a hot day it made 240rwkw at 16psi which seems about right for 300kw (400hp) through an auto at the wheels.  The shape of the curve is not quite right because it was not full throttle to about 4,500 to stop it kicking down, but until I can get a tune on the auto trans control this was the best we could do.....full boost will be well below 5,000 once that is sorted, I'll get some data logs when I can to confirm For comparison, the R32 made 255 at 12psi (at 4,500) on the same dyno with tune, n1 turbos, cam gears, big exhaust but otherwise all standard so the v37 is likely a little better out of the box. One thing that is very clear is that the standard water to air intercoolers are not up to sustained use at full throttle in warm ambient temps. After about 5 runs (so only a few minutes full throttle), it was pulling boost and timing and dropping 10-15% power. Unfortunately I didn't get that printout and the Unigroup guys are away at the moment, will try and get hold of it on their return. So, looks like a healthy engine to start modifying and the only real area of concern is the w2a heat exchangers which the aftermarket has plenty of solutions for    
    • I maintain it actually looked really nice in person. So much so that I thought "No, this is illegal" but there it was, clear as day. I think we can easily call the wing and wheels/height to be transformative. Not saying it's better than the GR Whatever, or the 86, or the WRX STI or anything of that sort (the internet says it all bolts up so you can buy best of all worlds?) but it's still at least a thing and not nearly AS bad as people say.
    • That's less offensive than the previous gen.....except for all that ugly black tupperware around the edges. Blerck!
    • I leant out the window recently and took a picture of this new WRX. It looked real damn fine in person. It's faster around a track (stock) than a (stock) GR Yaris. It's much more practical despite being heavier. It's significantly cheaper. This gen tunes really well, much better than others. .... I think they're probably a lot better than people expect.
