Hi guys.

As the title says, i have a S1.5 Dec95 and was wondering which skyline had VVT. my engine is a series 2, as my mate has a series 1 and it looks completly different.

Can somone shed some light. Also if it does have it, when does it kick in ect.

Can somone point me to a good webpage to readt about the R33 VVT, i did a search and nothing came up.

All R33's had exactly the same variable cam timing, in that (I think) the exhaust cam is retarded 2° between just above idle and until ~4800rpm. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong on the exact details but it's something like that. If you put your foot down, the car should sound different and go noticeably better once you hit 4800rpm or so. This is the cam timing doing its thing.

Anyway, R33 VCT is a static cam timing (ie it's fixed at either 0° or 2°, it can't do anything in between) and is activated purely by an RPM switch, it wasn't until the Neo engines in the R34 that the RB had constantly variable cam timing, meaning it could be adjusted to any value within its range and could do so at any rpm.

So the short answer to your question is all of them lol. The visual difference between your motor and your mate's (if they're both stock) is that his will have the ignitor box at the rear of the coil cover (black plastic box behind the stock BOV), yours will have a plug in its place. If either engine is modded then that will also explain differences between their appearance :laugh:

TPS are also different.

    • You would probably do a lot better in a claims process then most people. When I called the insurance company, they were surprised I read the pds because according to them almost no one does lol.
    • Yeah it should be, but I wouldn't be surprised if the insurance company tries to pull some argument out of their ass to avoid paying you out.
    • On some cars like MR2 Turbos they're notorious for not letting the wastegate open far enough to avoid overboost, especially certain cheap downpipes. If adjusting "percentage cycle" fixes it then it's just an electronic control issue, not a hardware one.
    • Same.  It's depressing to say this but the skyline can go months on the charger between drives. 
    • I often leave mine connected weeks at a time. The main one I use is the old model of this, it has 2 important features - choose battery chemistry other than lead acid (most of mine are AGM) - power supply mode which you can use to try and recover dead flat batteries as "smart" chargers often don't recognise a dead flat battery is connected https://www.projecta.com.au/products/IC10/intellicharge-10a-bat-chgr The Ctek I  use was meant to have a battery test mode as well but it doesn't work 100% of the time so I am pissed at them. The distributor did everything possible to make warranty and support difficult so I'll stay away in future. The main thing with a "trickle" charger is it has multi stage programs, ie once the battery is full it turns the current right down to just maintain the charge....in the old days we just used real "trickle" chargers for that which had a maximum output of say 500mA which was safe to just leave connected to dumb old lead batteries.
