Tuning

[Triskillion]

Hello there, in the process of purchasing a GTS-t r33.

its mods,

turbo back 3" exhaust

hks airpod

hks bov (may remove, depends if i like it)

now i need to take it for a 100k service... whats involved in that??

also is a stock tune ok with these mods or is it better to go do a dyno tune? im guessing a stock tune is ok.

Thanks for help

I'll bump this as i'm VERY interested myself.

Firstly, you cannot tune a stock ecu.

The 100k service is a major service and normally includes the following:

Timing belt change

Water pump change

Drive belts change

Fuel Filter change

Spark plugs change

Engine, gearbox and diff oils changed

Change oil filter

Some workshops will also do a compression test as part of a major service

Wat do u mean by stock tune?

U cant do anything to stock ECU,

If u want to tune it, u gota get Power FC, or after market ecu.

100km services,

By the sound, I fink its best to get it done by a qualified mechanic!!! Its a BIG job

[RBFIRE]

oh well, lol,

BLITZ just too fast on the buzzer!

yeah thats why i was asking what kinda tune for a near stock car. so getting it tuned would just be correct plugs, points, and the timing..

Points? Are you that old ? All modern cars have computers . R33 skylines don't even have distributors !

[Triskillion]

omg are you serious?? even my sr20 has a distributor... i know sr20's better then rb's... well for now. so soon ill own both the sr20 and the rb25. im guessing the technology in a rb is far more advanced then the sr20. at first i loved the 2 litre 4 cyclinder... but i can tell im gonna find my soul mate in the rb serious... ive got 3 days to own and experience all night and all day.

[Triskillion]

There is a ticking noise in my r33. its done 90,000k's. (ticking noise is like the noise you hear 4 cyclinders make eg spark plugs etc)

can this just be in need of a service? 100k service? timing belt and spark plugs. also with the r33 is there also a timing chain? or is that the same as the timing belt????????

[Craved]

hydrolic lifters are fairly noisy in the R33.. but new oil and not too thin.

at 90 000, if you have the cash i'd change the timing belt ( does the job of a chain but external to the motor..) just incase its been winded .. definately cant hurt

injectors do tick a little of course too.

and your SR20 should only have a side mounted CAS ( crank angle sensor) not a dizzy

Is your SR20 a non-turbo? SR20DE (atmo 180sx version) used a conventional distributor but the turbo ones have multi-coil ignition (according to Drift Battle magazine).

well done, yes my sr20 is non turbo. front wheel drive at that! i just hope as craved said. that the ticking noise is the hydro lifters and injectors. because my mates s2 r33 doesnt make that sound. and i cant be driving a car that makes a bad sound because its screwed. ok if it makes a bad sound and its in perfect nick!

well i never .. lol

just like the old pulsars.. oh well

yeah hard to say how bad the ticking is without hearing it of course..

what oil is it running.. too thin and it'll make more noise..

[Triskillion]

pretty sure motol something, guessing turbo light

[Craved]

turbo light isn't bad, not too thin..

if you are really worried, take it to a couple of workshops to ask them..

thats if your somewhere that has mutliple workshops familiar with the RB25

[Triskillion]

i figured out what it was, MY CLUTCH!!! i got a slipping clutch... that sucks... time for aftermarket!!!

[Craved]

your clutch was making a ticking noise?

haha go figure..

firstly, you *can* tune a stock ecu with a remap.

however, I wouldn't bother with only these mods, if you change turbo's then yes, but otherwise it should be ok. Just get it on the dyno when you get a chance and make sure the AFR's aren't too lean.

If a "tune" you're referring to spark plugs, check timing etc. then all cars should have this done from time to time!
