A Question About My R33


Recommended Posts

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!

Joe

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

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 :(

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!!!

    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
    • NO HITS PRICE DROP   ENGINE - $8.5k ONO TRANSMISSION - $1.8k ONO  
    • If it has had a code in the recent past, the code should still be there waiting to be read.
