Hey everyone,

I bought my 1993 R33 GTST manual 2 weeks ago and thought I should introduce myself.

The car has ~150,000k's on the clock but the engine was rebuilt 10,000k's ago (have receipt) and it runs pretty well. The previous owner was not mechanically minded at all so there were a few issues with the car. It came with 2 sets of 18" rims.

Previous owner installed an HKS (apparently) FMIC, 3" turbo back exhaust with "Supercat" cannon muffler, HKS turbo timer, Exedy clutch, alarm system, and sound system. It obviously hasn't had a tune yet and is running very rich. You can smell the unburnt fuel as it's running, especially when it's cold.

At the moment I'm not planning to mod it at all other than to install an adaptronic E420C ECU which I have from a previous project, give it a tune up, and replace the front bar which has been cut.

Cheers,

Andrew

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....

      This makes sense. I have 2 so I'll just choose the least favourable child to perform the task.  If all turns to shit, I've still got a spare.  Win-win!
