hi all found this site and couldnt resist

bought a import r33 gtst

i got it really cheap as the there was a shit load of parts missing from interior but finnally got that sorted

i got plenty of questions for nsw sydney people on like places to go to find mo info on wat parts are in my engine and things so that help would be appreciated.

attached photos of how she is now

from my research i know it has a bigger turbo than standard

has a front mount intercooler

i installed volt guage and didgital boost guage and greddy turbo timer.

firrst question may sound dumb but i feel its under powered and spludders around 4500rpm and if i go past 1/4 throttle

i am led to my investigation its due to intercooler and bigger turbo intsalled by previous owner and if it this do i need a aftermarkt ecu or just a nistune ecu

thanks for reading if u actually do hahha

you coulkd be right. however id be checking your coilpacks. 4.5k is where they notoriously break down. if your modding go a full set of splitfires or brand new nissan ones. also if it does have a bigger turbo but standard ecu it would drive like shit... and i mean shiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

First off, congrats.

Second, this is the place for all information.

Third, did you get a comp test done? Change the spark plugs and gap them to 0.8mm. See if that makes any diffence. Then take your car to a tuner and get the nistune that you suggested. It will do fine.

Is your car running more than 10psi? Or is it at 7psi?

Best thing would be to just throw it on a dyno and see what is going on with it.

Thanks for the replies yeah I know about the notorious flat spot but its wierd cause even if I go slow it does and worse if I punch it past

well on my boost guage it goes to 10 plus psi and shits itself real bad at 11psi

I have done plugs and gapped them coil packs are fine I think

Head over to Adaptronic too. Have a look at the Select range of ECUs.

Direct plug and play, no need to cut or mod anything to fit the ECU.

awesome thanks they look the good but dont have 1500 bucks right now just for a computer kinda need to do the cheaper thing until my other car sells hahah

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
