Hey there guys,

Just wanted advice on performance on a r33 gtst 4 door automatic that i have just brought.

What the car has:

rb25det engine 230,000 km's

3inch turbo back.

Cold Air intake. (K&N pod with heat shield)

Yellow top Coils.

Hybrid frount mount intercooler.

Solenid been removed.

All done by previous owner.

took out the back (private) road on the gtech. ran 0-100km/h 6.1secs and 1/4 mile in 14.3secs @ 159km/h

almost stock times for a automatic from the research i have done.

What i have done so far is installed a turbosmart boost tee turned up half a turn and install a boost gauge.

I haven't had a chance to re gtech it but feels a tad quicker.

Just need some advice on what to do next, without changing turbo etc.

Walbro fuel pump? - heard they run quiest and are a direct replacement without rewiring.

ecu? - read or heard you need to put a r32 or r34 ecu in to be able to tune it. looking at nistune.

What my goal is, is to be able to alteast run into the mid 13's and atleast keep up with my modded Ford XR6T.

this car my have some history on here and someone on the forums may have owned it, the previous owner gave me the bullshit story the old

owner was a girl that never drove it hard.

The reason that i say this is the passanger side front door has been buffed but i can still faintly see a skylines australia sticker that was on the car.

the car is a 1993 r33gts25t silver with r34 wheels on it.

Thanks in advance.

Is your car an Auto? Is see mention of Auto times there.

a Z32 300ZX or R32 Rb20 ECU + Rpm window switch for NVCS is what you need for Nistune/

Mid 13's is possible on sticky tyres and the standard turbo with a tune

I ran a 13.9 with a crap 2.1sec 60ft in my 33 coupe back in the day, I had a front mount, PowerFC and a 3" front pipe back exhaust

Yes it's a automatic. I'm actually surprised that it's hard to achieve good times with lots of work to these cars, never been a skyline fan

but the car was cheap at 3k so i had to have it, and loving the handling of it compared to my XR6T.

I know the falcon is 4L but intercooler, CAI, injectors, pump and tune can see 380rwkw for a much heavier car jumps into the 12s easy.

I think i need to move away from comparing em.

oh reary? Do you know of anyone who's able to tune standard r33 auto ecus in sa? otherwise it'll be an auto z32 tune for me

Only me in Australia but its not difficult.(very popular in Japan)

Just need tools.

Tools is R33 ecu daughter board (made in Japan), emulator , programmer, programmer adapter , chip and Nistune software.

Z32 R32 ECU can not use R33 auto.

I'm in Adelaide, so to change the daughter board and dyno tune it would be $580? so all i'll need is to get a bigger fuel pump. might be worth the drive to you to get it done.

Also with the turbo internals, I have 1993 i assume it's a series 1 do they have the ceramic fins or metal ones?

$580 is just basic dyno tune.

If you would like to full tune (road and dyno both tune) $700.

If you or me find 3 people in SA I can come to you.

Series 1 turbo is ceramic and metal.

Series 2 turbo is ceramic and plastic.

      Yes. It's either "2 wires", or 1 wire, depending on how you look at it. It is the connection that ties the battery -ve to both the chassis and the engine. Every electron that goes in or out of the battery goes through those 2 small spots (on the inner guard and on the engine block). If those are not clean and tight, then shit starts to suffer. Yeah, but measure it again cold in the morning, after it has had hours to rest. You can't usefully test the charge state of a battery immediately after it has been running because the alternator puts a surface charge onto the plates that takes a while to soak in and balance out. It will always read higher, and potentially look properly healthy, when fresh off of charge. But hours later it can look a lot less healthy. It's also worth measuring the battery voltage while cranking, although this can be difficult with a typical DMM because the screem update rate is so slow on most of them. An analogue voltmeter is actually a better tool for that. If the voltage drops too far while cranking, it is a sign of a poor battery. Although I don't think we're necessarily looking for a weak battery here - just wanting to exclude it.

      GTR Festival (Aus) - 2025 - Stagea Alley

      By alexburns · Posted

      https://www.facebook.com/share/15ZMn5oXtc/ Updated Event (so its not private and can be shared easier)  Attempting to coordinate a big push of Stagea's to this years GTR Festival. Great event last year and hoping for the same this year.  Discounted tickets 20% off for their various tickets until the 3rd of Feb Monday. Drags, show and shine etc.  I've emailed them to ask to set a location aside for the Stageas for the show and shine - they are happy to do so if we can get them numbers, I'm happy to keep track of that. Entering as Nismo category.  I'll be road tripping up from Melbourne, would be cool to convey if people are interested, maybe there is SAU convoys from each capital? If you have ideas about that let me know.  https://gtrfestival.com.au

      Series 2 R33 GTS25T?

      By Skip33 · Posted

      Do I have a series 2 or has someone spent money to have a series 1/1.5 look like a series 2? Everything I have read says the series 2 came out in 1996. I have a car manufactured in December 1995. The exterior, engine and interior are all series 2 other than the dash facia is series 1. Paint code is also kr4 that I believe is only available on a series 2. I have a VX Vehicle History Report and it says Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Manufacture date: 1995-12 Make: NISSAN Model: SKYLINE Body: E-ECR33 Grade: GTS25T TYPE M2 Engine: RB25DET Drive: 2WD Transmission: F5

      I went to Repco to get them to test the battery using their tester (not a volt meter), alternator shows 14.3v when running, and when the car was off after the it was on full load I think it was 12.6v but the guy said it was all good. Terminals are all clean, no corrosion. Though I coulda sworn when I tightened up my alternator belt the car idles a bit higher and the steering wheel shakes a bit until it's warmed up. I wanted to confirm for the earth cable/s, are you referring to the 2 wires that are bolted onto the frame rail under the battery? I might be overthinking this a bit.
