What about chipping the stock ecu? thats how i tuned my 240. is there something about this ecu that makes it more diffucult to chip? It would be good if i could go this route, i already have a chip burner and a wideband i can throw in the car. i got pm from member and with your info + the good things i am reading about these cars. i am pretty well sold 100% on the r33 gts-t. im glad i came to my senses.... i was going to buy a fairlady TT for my daily in the summer. lol very bad idea based on the amount of expensive repairs they require frequently. I know some people will dissargee... but i can't realy find a negative review for the gts-t. the only bad thing im hearing is they are kind of heavy - thats fine with me. seems like a good platform for 300hp daily. O, and i have a .63/.48 T3 from the 240 that i can throw on, internally gated at 8psi. mabey i will get a holset turbo for it eventually. mods will start during the next canadian winter lol.... Thanks for the input. more is welcome

Hello, after turbochareging my stock single cam ka, beating on it and blowing it up - i have decided to take the leap and buy a r33 gts-t. It seems most people on ths forum like AWD over RWD, not me I have some pretty basic questions to ask about what i can execpt from the car. it will most likey be a 1993 gts-t rb25det with some light mods already done when i buy it. exhaust, intake (cone filter), coil overs. The kms should be +- 25 000 from 100 000 more than likey above 100 000 kms. I have heard and read good things about the reliabilty of this car, is it true - are these usually reliable daily drivers? i drive pretty normal most of the time but i do plan on some autox and drag racing. What common issues should i be aware of when looking at the cars, given the kilometers? My ultimate goal for now will be around 300rwhp (223 rwkw). am I correct in saying this is achiveable with 91 octane, colder plugs, fmic, 10-12 psi, 3'' exhaust, pulling some timeing from the high load section of the ignition map and adding some fuel in high load section of the fuel maps? One last thing, im 99% sure the rb25det has a knock sensor.... will the ecu dump into the knock map pretty quickly if it starts detionating? i ask because we only have 91 octane fuel where i live and it would be nice to know there is some security there. water/meth injection might be something i'll have to look into. for now i just want a fun, reliable, daily driver. I can already see the type of money i will end up spending on mods though lol.
