Disconect your battery , then charge it . If it's a a 33 , just be carefull of your rear speakers as they might atempt to pull the spaner towards them as you undo the terminals. A rubber insulated handle type is best.

Another thing , with the battery from a 33 , you dont need to open the cell caps .

good luck

By the way , since my gtr isnt going anywhere lately , I ve had to charge mine up . A good charger shouldn't cost more than $24.95.

If you buy one from any mitre10 tomorow , you should get 15% off.

I jump start My 32 GTR when ever its flat. AS LONG AS you have a GOOD set of jumper leads that have the surge protector in them all the battery terminal that you are connecting the leads to are clean and you connect them in the right sequence you will never have a problem. In saying correct sequence you connect your earth LAST and it is the FIRST lead you will take off after your car has started. NEVER disconnect the Positve first as thats where voltage spike can occur and poof goes the ecu if you are real unlucky. This is the same when you disconnect your battery when you want to remove it. I don't know where you heard you can't jump start turbo cars from, I can't say i've ever heard of that before. If the battery is dead flat you would be better off charging it over night, or unless you can go for a good long drive in the car after you jump start it. Couple hrs or more.

Its actually much healthier and better for the battery to charge on a charger if possible. If the car is flat and its not an emergency, charge it on an external charger all the way. Otherwise even if you can spare 10-20 minutes it is worth it. The excess current when a battery is dead flat can shorten the life of it and also it puts excessive strain on your alternator.

Technically you can spike and blow up your ECU, but as someone said it is more of an issue if you are a twit (not looking at anyone on here Vange) and short the battery by hooking the leads up wrong.

Best bet is to not put the negative on the battery terminal, but rather connect it to a ground point on your engine. For some reason this is less risky to your ECU (told to me by an RAA guy).

Actually it makes no difference to the ECU where you ground it. Its about not introducing a spark near the battery - theres a small but real chance the hydrogen gas from a charging battery can cause explosions when you disconnect the leads. That's why they always say disconnect the earth away from the battery first.

that's correct...

best to jump start it from under the bonnet....that's why that + terminal is there and connect earth - to your strut tower bolt.

also, your electronics have nothing to do with your turbo mate....not an issue for it. a 33 (turbo or not) is exactly the same as any other efi car out there.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
