A Question About My R33

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!!!

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
