R33 Lacking Power

[95 GTS25T]

I got my skyline 33 serviced today 95000 kms at my local nissan dealership

and they are saying mine seems to be down on power a little compared

to other similar skylines could anybody tell me why this is so? am I leaking boost?

It seems to run fine for me and seems to have good power but then again i havn't driven

many skylines other than my own.

the only thing the nissan guy said is that it could be a little down on boost or something,

so looks like my next service I'm up for big dollars, timing belt, cam gaskets and such have

to be changed oh well the price you pay for having a skyline.

There are sooo many variables as to how much power you should have.

Is it stock or moded? The may be used to driving moded.

Put it on a dyno and see exactly whats going on..

ever considered taking it to a reputable workshop? might save you some coin when you do the 100k service.

down on power would mean they gave it some stick on the street hey? i wouldnt be happy with that unless it was agreed beforehand.

Yeah my 33 is stock no mods done to it yet I am trying to save for

some mods I want to up the boost a little and get exhaust done and such,

and yeah they probably did take it for a good thrashing as they had to

put new front brake pads on and said they bedded them in while on roadtest.

yeah not really happy about them taking it for spin thats why I was a bit hesitant

in getting it serviced.

One day I might get to a dyno to get it checked out, might just need tuning or

something but just so flat out at work havn't had the time.

ahahahah "roadtest"

As B1 said take it to a reputable workshop next time who deal with these cars day in, day out not some yobbo Nissan dealership workers who probably service more falcodores than anything. (note. not all Nissan workers are yobbos hahaha)

As for paying the price for owning a skyline - timing belts etc need changing on all cars regardless of being imports. A skylines timing belt is easier and cheaper to replace than a lot of other Australian cars.
