Hi all, My R33 GTST is stock apart from; pod filter, 3" cat back exhaust and Hybrid BOV. With those mods my car was getting around 450 km's to a tank of premium. Since i installed my hybrid Frount mount intercooler kit my car now only gets about 400 km's to a tank. I havn't blocked off any vaccum lines or anything and it all seems a bit odd as i thought a fmic would make the air/fuel burn better and therefore i'd be getting better mileage. Could my stock ECU be getting confused? or is it just my right foot? any thoughts? Dave :confused:

I can live with it 2 small price 2 pay

Hey there, i recentley installed my cooler the same size as yours (Hybrid copy), i have a series 1 R33 with the stock front bar. Unfortunatley these kits do require a bit of work. Not really that hard just time consumeing, i had to grind out a few centremeters of plastic from the inside of my front bar to get the cooler sitting in there nicely. i used an angle grinder and file to finish it off, looks ok. U might want to allocte a few hours just for this task to get it right. Then there's the hole u have to cut in the side of your car for the pipe that leads in2 your tb. plus i made my own brackets...I've heard u r supposed to take the front bar off 4 the install, i didn't and didn't run in2 any problems. Hope this helps. P.S: still waiting for silcon reducers to turn up in the mail b4 i can test drive the car but when i do im hoping there is a noticeable power increase for all my effort. I intercooled my last car and power increase was pretty damn decent, hoping these 33's r the same thoughts/results ne1 else?

There u go 4.5 lt Fair enough, each to his own. U r right Turbos can have lag

out of an RB20DE!? There may be some ppl out there that can get that sort of power out of N/A but u'd have to really know what your doing...just seems like a huge amount of work compared to the forced induction route, that's all. The point i was trying to make is- to me it seemed like we wanted to go fast (200 rwkw) thats why i suggested forced induction if he's on a budget. I wasn't rubishing N/A. But if this guy really wants N/A than go 4 it i suppose...

well askin a question like that the poor guy is probably new to the car scene and we all know how easy it is to get ripped off, just tryin to help out. relax, no need to get cranky 2GU up2

Rip the N/A RB20 out and use it as ship ankor. Replace it with an RB20DET/RB25DET and mod that or sell the car and buy a turbo skyline. be realistic. Dont mean to be too negative but N/A performance is 2 costly for what you could get out of forced induction for half the cost. Probably less.

Cheers linton 2

Thanks for the info Zahos, How much did all that cost u? just wanna get a rough idea of what im up 4. My clutch isn't slipping or anything...doesn't relly seem to be in too bad condition. I'd be surprised if it needed replacement but ill get it checked out anyway.

Thanks for the advice 180_mph and britto! Much appreciated. My skyline had a heavy duty clutch installed b4 i bought it and the gearbox is in good condition (despite some gear changes lately have been a little notchy which i think is related to my problem). Having said that i dont think i will be dismanteling my clutch/box set up any time soon so i think i'll get it fixed as the noise is pretty annoying. Any idea as to how much this will cost me? probably lots I had a look at a thread on it, i dont think its really the kind of thing i can do myself in the garage.

Hi all, I have an annoying problem with my S1 R33 (RB25DET). On idle i get this weird sound that comes and goes. It is a kind of faint whistleing noise kind of like a loose belt noise but it aint loose belts. The best way i can describe it is it sounds like garden crickets LOL. It is louder when the hood is closed. Anyway i noticed 2day when i push the clutch in it stops. So i think it is clutch/box related. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this. Any help would be much appricited. Thanks Dave

Cheers Robo My cars a 1993 model so yeah i'm assuming its a series 1

Hi all, I own an R33. Recently coil number 3 died in my RB25DET and was replaced with a coil from an RB20DET. An RB20DET coil was used as it was picked up for cheap and there were no RB25DET coils available. The people at the import yard assured me it would work fine as they are pretty much indentical (both 12V etc). The car appears to be runnning fine now and is not missing a high revs anymore. Is this ok or will it affect my engine? any help would be much appriciated. Thanks, Dave
