New On The Block (Newcastle)

[mattyboy33]

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
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

went from this,

to this,

so looking forward to meeting new mates and getting amungst the fmorum!

Welcome Matty. I used to have a MY06XT and it's good to own a variety of cars over a time.

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

[mattyboy33]

cheers guys.
terry! yeah I remember you from ozfoz

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?

[xALmoN]

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!

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