Ok guys. My friend got this car. And its really weird.

R33 GTS25 non turbo R33

The thing has got GTR rear gaurds GTR bonnet (shitloads lighter then my gtst bonnet) (GTR Rear Wing). No Hicas and a 95 series 2 engine (with no ignitor box) on a 93 Model body.

Has a front bar with a massive space for a intercooler but no cooler and no mesh covering up the hole. So i suspect maybe there was a intercooler there at one stage?

The engine is absolutly stock. No mods what to ever. It has a big exaust system

It came from japan with real low suspention which was changed to stock.

What was this car ? was it a turbo model ? a drifter ? a racer ? or was it owned by some geek jappo who wanted it to look fast but go slow ???

How do we tell ???

It uses SHITLOADS of fuel. only gets 300 - 350km per tank and its NON turbo. Surely it should do better then that.

Any suggestions ?!?

How do we find out if its using a turbo or non turbo computer ?

That does sound a little off...

It sounds like the car was pretty modified at one stage, but in oder to get it past "shaken" (Japanese vehicle inspection rip-off), the owner had to remove all the parts that were gonna defect the vehicle. Hence the WTF GT-R rear guards and high fuel consumption.

Theres no real way to tell EXACTLY what happened, but this mixed-up car looks like:

It had a powerful turbo motor at one stage, which was sold sperately.

It had a serious wheel and tyre combo, explaining the rear guards.

It was probably used for street racing/some "yanki's" (car freak) weekend thrasher.

It was probably for sale here for a long time, but no sale, so the owner sold off all the good parts, then flogged the car.

As for the fuel consumption, thats a mystery. I would think that, if there was a powerful turbo'd motor in there and he sold it, he would've sold the computer too... but I really don't know.

Get it to a Skyline specialist?

maybe the result of some Frankenstein cut-n-shut job? Does it have the front flared guards?

Check the hub/brake assemblies

4 stud, small front calipers = non turbo

5 stud, big front calipers = turbo

However these can obviously be changed

Diff size? does anyone know if the non turbo has a smaller diff than the turbo?

Dash - does it have factory boost under the tacho?

Sounds weird, but i wouldn't mind the F-A-T rear end on my GTS-t :rolleyes:

Oh, Turbo/non turbo computer - i assume that getting the exact code on the ECU and even going to a nissan dealer you should be able to figure out its origins. I know nunawading nissan parts can get access to jap records of cars and codes.

Thanks for the reply guys

Its got 5 stud wheels all round. The gaurds look like my GTST gaurds... they are not heaps fatter ???

ohhh No boost gauge in dash. Non turbo dash.

a chicky owns this car so she doesnt mind as long as it drives well and its safe then she is happy.

I will take some photos next time i see her.

I did notice there was wires and plugs for the HICAS computer in the boot. Does that make a difference ?

I am pretty sure its got GTST suspention because they swapped it out with anotherone's standard suspention.

Her boss imported the car from Japan like this. so its how it came from Japan.

      49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.

      Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf

      Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.

      Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.

      Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
