A Question About My R33

[fcukthedj]

Hey everyone new to this forum and new to the skyline scene. Just bought a 1994 R33 4door 4WD Non Turbo Skyline which i been told there isnt too many of them around in manual also.

I picked it up considerably cheap and have some mods in mind which will consist of the turbo conversion rims, lowering/rims and stereo for now.

In regards to the 4wd driveline, is it simular to the GTR models? Once we had it up today a couple of the parts near the rear left wheel had R33 GTR written on them in pink texta which usually means that came from a wrecker.

Its got 123000kms on it and minor mods include exhaust and cold air intake w/ pod.

I know that if i change the motor to a rb25det ill have to use my sump off my engine on the new engine to make it fit.

How strong are these boxes and how strong is the gearbox?

I only want to run 9 low and 14psi high, not after great big power but something streetable is my goal.

Will this 4wd system hold once turbo'd?

Anything else ill need to change?

Were there many of this model made?

Whats the compression ratio difference between the n/a and the turbo?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

so im guessing nobody knows anything?

I'm pretty sure the running gear is the same as the gtr (I think). You should have no problems with the drive line once its turboed. Might have to do the cv boots &/or joints though.

As far as gearboxes go, the rb25det manual box is one of the strongest around, so no problems there either.

Don't see many NA 4wd 4dr r33's getting around, so you'd be one of the few.

Don't no the details on compression ratios.

i was told by an importer today that if i bolted a turbo on (standard r33 spec) that the ecu will have problems and that i need to wire in the r33 gtst harness complete too because of some sensor thing.

anyone know the exact details why i cant just plug it into the harness i got now? thnx

your better of doing an dropping a rb25det in their rather than turbocharging the NA engine. THe engine is different and the compression ratios mean you wont be able to boost the car.

THere's a good thread around somewhere...ill try find it

found it:

its about an r34 but further down talks bout R33's...

thanks mate, im tossing up the idea of doing it or selling it off and buying something already turbo'ed

considering its got the 4wd system already, just needs boost and should have a pretty quick skyline

quick doesnt mean really quick depends on driver.....

the 4wd drive system will make it a bit slower actually.

not only due to the fact that more energy is lost in the transfer case. but because all wheels gripping means less oversteer in the corners!!!
