Hey guys, could someone please post a pic of what the boot looks like in a R33.

I'm thinking about one for the other half, its either that or a falcon really. Well maybe a stagea...

Anyway, just a few Q's I have about them. Is the batt in the boot like the coupe? Do the back seats fold down.

Whats the most anyone has towed with one unbraked

An R33 sedan is good, but I doubt it will approach a Falcon for boot (or passenger) space. As mentioned, the seats don't fold down, as the battery is located between the strut towers.

R33 and Stagea rear seat room and leg space is the same, as they share the same chassis and wheelbase, as far as I know...

Having a Stagea is great - used it yesterday to help my sister's boss move all her work stuff from a factory warehouse to her house. Managed to get heaps of stuff moved, if Id have taken photos it would give you an idea of how versatile it is. The back seats fold completely flat, and you can just flip the seats using the silver handles on each side of the boot, instead of having to open the back door on each side and individually fold each seat down.

Unfortunately I don't have photos of the R33 sedan's boot (could probaly get them in a few weeks, tho), but here's some photos to give you an idea of the Stagea boot:

Thanks for the pic of the Stagea. I'm not sure if I'm sold on the stagea, with 4wd and close to 200kg more than an R33...

At the moment she has a Liberty Turbo wagon, which is good as a car, but as soon as you put anything on that tow bar, it strugglees to pull.

Ok, back to the R33, how many golf bags can you fit in the boot :(

Does anyone know if you can use r33 coupe swaybars, rear mufflers, rear strut bars on the sedan?

Also is the TCU part of the ECU in an auto?

decisions, decisions.

The series 2 R33 sedan is the only one to get. The battery is back under the bonnet so there is more usable room in the boot. Everything about the drivetrain is the same as the coupe, the exhaust will also just bolt up but you may find the tip of the exhaust may look a little short as the sedan boot is about 100mm longer. Hope that helps.

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Silly question, as I bet you've checked already, but the motor turns over by hand yes? I suspect Neil has a spare starter, though if not, I believe I have a spare R33 (or two) starter.

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah just run one of those posts to the Link like GTSBoy said. From google it looks like a "mishimoto boost controller" is a manual boost controller. Since you already have the link just buy any MAC valve and plumb it in where the mishimoto is now. Wires to the solenoid should come from the Link's / standard loom boost control wiring (I guess you have an r32, not sure if it is gtst or gtr, if it is GTR where is a 2 pin connector near the engine bay fuse box/injector resistor for that purpose, assuming the standard boost controller is gone)

      No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
