ok so to tell the story ill start from the begining.

I bought my 98 40th aniverseary r33 gts-t about 10 months after my stock 96 r33 was a write off after the big perth hail storm.:(

I got it with about 70 000 on the clock and it just seamed to have much more power. So not being the bees knees on cars and all and just getting to learning about everything you can do with mods i just left it as being a better car. Anyway today i read a froum on how to ground the standard solenoid and run at 7-8 psi so thought great sounds easy so went to do it. Well i looked at the soleniod and it had no hoses going into it (wtf) so had a look around. Then i saw that to my supprise i had a blitz sbc dual soleniod cool i thought. Anway traced the cables into the interior and they went all the way to behind the ash tray, so i pulled it out and there was the boost controler there all the time ( felt like bit f a bumb ass) . So now i had to have a bit of a play and got some good boost out of it but as i'm still kinda knew to the whole mod thing can anyone give me any advise on what it should be set at with a stock turbo as don't want to over boost the engine but really stoked with the find.

10psi should be safe, hehe dunno why the previous post didnt load up when I viewed the page before, I wouldnt go more than 12psi though.

in saying that I had an rb20 180 before and ran that around on 1 bar with standard turbo, ca18 side mount (thin as fk) 3" exaust and a walbro pump for a year or so and didnt have an issue, could be that I got lucky though, next guy to own it wrote it off though so I cant say how long it lasted

If it goes better than your old r33, then i would just see what boost it is running before you do anything. At a guessyou will get better gains by having the ecu remapped than than turning the boost up more.

How do you know it only has the standard turbo? Could be a hi-flow. Could have an after market ECU. Does it have a standard exhaust, intercooler etc?

Time to do some poking around in the engine bay perhaps. Might find some more hidden treasure. :(

yeah thought that too. It's got 3 1/2 inch exhaust blitz nur spec, standard intercooler though ( Got to get an after market one next thing i'm doing anyone got ideas on brand? ), jap psr and psr-k stickers when open the fuel flap to fill up (not sure what this means, Bigger pump or bigger injectors) , hks super direct flow pod. Don't know about ecu how can you tell if it has after market one can any one tell me? got a conect cable on the way will that tell me when i plug it into my laptop?

Might just have to go to some where like hypertune and get them to have a look.

oh yeah the boost controller plugs into a little box called greedy turbo data link not sure what is but think it for my boost gauge. Any ideas would be awesome!

i havnt read the whole thread, but personaly i would run 8-10 psi, because if you have the standard ecu, it will be to R&R with anymore psi, and it will feel like shit and not smooth

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Fk me, I guess next time I will try to use the onsite attachments feature. I find it hard to work with so far though because I can't move the images to where I want them to be. I will try to make a separate post with just images. As for lifting. The work I need to do for now involves the exhaust and engine mainly, so the arm covering the jacking points is not a problem. But I don't want to bend in the whole sill or underfloor by lifting the car at the original jack points. I found some rubber blocks, 125 by 125 with a 10mm wide and 10mm deep cutout, which I'm hoping will work for not hitting the jacking rail. The sidemember, as seen in the service manual, are the rectangular frame rails that come from the front of the car and go alongside the gearbox and downpipe. Those that get crushed inwards if you use them for a floorjack. They are already slightly bent in from being used to hoist by other people. I think cutting off the jacking points and welding or bolting on a reinforcement plate along the sill might not be a dumb idea. Or is it dumb?     A 2 post hoist is what I'm gonna work with, but not for any underbody work, just leaky engine and exhaust work so far. Depends on what else I find that might need immediate attention. For metalwork on the sills I think I'd just bring the car to a panel beater. What's your take on getting rid of the original jacking rails and putting reinforcement plates along the sills?

      Yeah titanium always looks cool but I don't need that, just regular pipes would be fine. But I am really struggling to find any full hardpipe kit that is still for sale.

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Note when Duncan says that, he means "when you're not using the correct lifting points on the sills, because you want to work on the sills. A 2 post hoist is not appropriate for everything anyway, and working on the sills is a good example of that, because the arms go under ths sills anyway. You're better off finding another way to support the car off the ground. Beyond that everything else D said is correct. Only the dedicated jacking points are the correct place to lift. Anywhere else is incorrect, extra caution and awareness must be used, etc etc.
