R33 Gtr Power?


Recommended Posts

Justin,

I took her for a test drive before with new oil, plugs and the restrictor removed. Goes like a dream - yep, no boosting issues - it climbs up to about 13-14psi making 3rd gear the gear of choice rather than 2nd. I find with the extra 2 pounds or so it applies boost better in 3rd. Before this, that gears seamed a bit flat if you know what I mean.

Thanks for the advice everyone :banana:

R33God, that is a good thought...but the GTST and GTR ecu's are made to work with much higher boost values than their stock 7 psi, 9.6psi and 11psi depending on what models you have. With skylines in general, it is the fuel pump and coil packs that let you down before the ECU does - hence I ran Splitfire packs and a bosch 044 in my old GTST to go with the 1 bar.

However, they say that the GTR support system is much better than that of the GTST. This includes everything that is needed to run the actual motor. And yeh, I haven't noticed any difference in driveability at all.

I take it you drive a Series 2? One day when I get old and frail I will need to go back to something that's smooth and awesome as a daily driver - it shall be a S2!!! I don't think there's any other sedan/coupe from that era that is so easy to drive and handle.

    • Yeah they sure are available for import now, its great news Matt, You need an import specialist insurer, nothing has really changed over the years about the mainstream insurance companies not touching them. I have my cars with Lumley (same group as NRMA etc) because they insure imports and have a good concept of "stable use" where as long as no more than 2 cars are being driven each day you can have them all on a good rate, I've also had no issues with claims through them. Note they won't insure a car if you take it to the track, even for an off track claim. Shannons are another option but I had a lot of trouble with their claims (they were happy to take the premiums, not so keen to pay out), and I'm sure there are other import specialists too 
    • I'm a lifelong home drummer, was in a couple of bands as a teenager/early 20's then moved to Japan and didn't play at all until 2019 when my missus and I were invited to check out the band room upstairs at a restaurant cafe here in JP. They had a full acoustic drum kit and they let me have a bash for about 20 mins. I went away from there wondering how I could not play for 19 years.... Missus bought me a e-drum kit a few weeks later (Yamaha DTX402) which is basic but lets me play at home in my tiny Japanese house.  Also have an Epiphone Les Paul and little Vox amp and delay pedal I bought for the missus because she wanted to learn to play the guitar, but she never got into it. That was about 8 years ago. I taught myself to play some 80's U2 song riffs like the Fly solo, etc and some other things but being a drummer I don't really have the dexterity in the fingers lol. Ham fisted if you will. So I kind of just mess around with the guitar rather than try to seriously play complete songs. My son on the other hand inherited all my side of the family's musical talent and is a brilliant classical pianist at 16 years old. He'll go on to do something in the music industry here for sure once he finished his schooling. I got him a Yamaha NU1XA hybrid piano earlier this year.
    • If the BOV is plumbed in as mentioned, like stock.... why exactly would it stall? It'd be like stock. Do stock cars stall with stock bovs?
    • You mean a rich spike, as the air has been metered multiple times due to the turbulent air, you end up injecting more fuel causing a momentary dip in torque and quite possibly a stall event. TL;DR, install a Haltech Elite or S3 or R3, convert to DBW, throw all ancient shit into the bin and enjoy the car.
