Hi guys, after stalking these pages for a while, i thought id finally introduce myself to sau.

Been dreamin about ownin a skyline for bout 6 yrs (but whos counting..) and finally bought my first car, a manual 97 r33 gts-t a few months back. Few basic mods; 3" tb zorst, fmic, filter, bov, lowered, boost gauge, ebc. Used to drivin a v6 vx 'dore so still wet myself each time i drive it.

Few probs tho.. theres a mechanical grinding/crunching noise in all gears at certain rpm. Usually happens between 1500-2000rpm under load. Spoke to a few mechanics and each has their opinions. Drive shaft bearing, gearbox on its way out, a vibrating plate or something somewhere along the exhaust. Anyone had similar symptoms on the r33??

Cheers, Rob

Cheers for the help guys, just thought id try a bit of multitasking.

Just an update on the car. Its bout to go under the knife for a heart bypass. Or for normal people, under the spanner for a turbo upgrade :D Gone with Stao at Hypergear, original plan was the hiflow. Decided to go one-up and get the ATR28 in the G3 profile. Other forms of nip-tuck will include a pfc, injectors (nismo 555s), z32 afm, and a fuel pump. Lookin for over 250rwkw :D

Will be lookin forward to meeting you all on the streets of melb and at events!

Cheers again, Rob

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By R3N3 · Posted

      Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
