So after wanting one for about 5 years ('99 I test drove a R32 Gtst and wanted to buy it then but things were stacked against me, and since then I have been overseas a lot) I finally got my skyline.

Bought it from Dean from UPI so some of you may have seen it before, its a Midnight Purple R33 GTR which I'm stoked with.

Picked it up on Tuesday night and have been to busy driving it to post on here since then ;)

Here's what I know about it

- full Trust exhaust

- Trust Intercooler

- Cam Gears

- Ohlins Coilovers

- R34 GTR Wheels

- Tuned by Ben from Race Pace running 15psi boost... and made ~270 kw at the wheels (anyone who knows Ben, knows he dynos his cars conservatively - not on shootout mode)

It's pretty clean, and stockish which is what I want... still got more than enough power for me - and as a mate said if I ever think its not quick enough, just don't drive it for a week heh - but we'll see :D

I think the first thing I need to do to it is get spacers for the wheels to make them sit flush with the guards.

There are photos in the gallery here (I need to delete some - to many of the same place but can't figure out how to delete photos) or you can check:

If you see me around feel free to say hi ;)

P.S. Thanks to my mate DentR33 for finding this car and helping me look at others!

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?

      Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
