Hey guys n gals ...

Recently purchased a series 1 r33 gtst in regional WA off a guy who had attempted to fix it but made an absolute mess if it. Purchased for 2200 not running - spent 1500, running. Lol

So it's unregistered still and there is a burnout comp on Saturday night in the middle of the speedway ring on a brand new concrete pad.

I still haven't fitted the front bar n headlights I purchased and am gunna leave them off. I've got a fresh set of stockies on steelies and have changed the oil and filter. Coolant is good and I don't wanna touch it as it has no air locks and why mess with something what's not broken or f**ked.

Apart from a cannon exhaust the car is completely stock, any tips from any one with burnout comp experience with r33 rb25det.... Oh it's a manual aswell I forgot to mention that.

Thanks :)

1- totally prepared to kill it, it's just a bit if fun seriously

2- dan ... Yes I agree with you, but like I said it's all just a bit of fun seriously it's where I work in the middle of the pilbra it's not a serious car if mine, drift events are a joy of mine back over east.

3- all I'm really after is any little tips that aren't completly obvious. - adding oil had slipped my mind tho so thank you :)

You have a high chance of the engine, or at least turbo going bang. I'd put money on the turbo going before the engine, especially if it's the stock turbo. The ceramic wheels on them don't like excessive heat, and in a burnout comp it will get red hot (it will literally be glowing).

But if you're prepared to kill it then why ask for tips? Just go out, keep your right foot to the floor until either the tyres out engine go bang. Just start in second gear to get as much smoke as possible and you're set

4k just to blow it up doing shitty burnouts in a burnout comp....what a waste...

anyway the stock RB doesn't hold up well to burnouts....

head design means all the oil floods the head and cant drain back quick enough..you starve your bearings in the bottom end and boom....its dead...

As well as that they dont really do a great burnout with stock power anyway and I'd honestly say find something better to do with it...like race or drift..

you want burnouts buy an old JZ soarer or a busted Ls1

Put a decent sized (600CCA) battery in it, if you don't, you might run out of spark, if it lasts that long!!! Wire the A/C thermo fan up to a switch. Hit the switch just before you start the burnout!

Take the bonnet off, & if you can (I know you don't want to do this, but there are plenty of correct bleeding threads on here) remove the thermostat for more flow.

Actually, You should PM buddy.duncanson & his alter ego, budskin1. He is an R33 GTST burnout master! His doesn't overheat, regardless of what his temp gauge says! Ask Superben, He knows the guy too! LOL! (sorry Ben!?!)

if it has the stock dump pipe off the turbo its going to go boom. also likely if it has a stock cat (just because it has a connon doesn't mean the rest of the exhaust was upgraded).


if it has any of this do it a huge favour and get a 3" dump pipe for the even and remove the rest of the exhaust.


Also remove the bonnet and heat shield off the turbo if possible.



if it is running the stock computer you might find she will take it without too much trouble as its a pretty soft 'tune' and has knock and temp protection.


if its a tuned vehicle, particularly nistune (no knock detection/protection), then it is going to get hurt more.



As for in the skid, try not to just have it bouncing off the limiter. 4-6k in second gear is the sweet spot for an Rb25 burnout :yes:




Do take video. everyone loves a skid whether they will admit it or not. And kudos to you for doing it in a legal and responsible place. Go hard mate.

haha, have you or anybody you know actually got a tune to work properly with nistune + knock detection on an r33?

often it is pitched as having the same benefits as a stock ecu + systems but it is one of its many faults and problems...

heat shield off + bonnet off wont cook wiring unless the wiring that is running thru there is loose. I certainly wouldn't recommend it for permanent use + bonnet on.

Ok. Forgot this is on an r33, which nistune don't directly support.

What does the power fc do about knock? Flash a light?

Seeing as you mentioned it, rather than leave it simply implying there are other issues would you care to explain the other nistune shortcomings? No vct switching when used on a 33 , again not actually using the correct ecu on the car and easily worked around.

Anyway, I want skid vids.

yeah power fc flashes a light. so at least its something. also it logs the knock levels/events from memory :P

have a look on some other threads on the nistune stuff as its a can of worms and a complex issue so don't want to hijack this thread with it. it also of course depends on whether you use a z32 (incompatibility issues) or r32 (no vct etc) ecu for the purpose.

I hope you have some cheap chinese tyres for the skids so they squeal nice n loud n also don't last too long. be nice to get several skidz out of the R33 :)

      High temp brake fluid?

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      I use the penrite 600f in my cars and have had no issues even at Townsville v8s when I drove that but I bled fluid end of day for just in case. Good value and a about 38-40 on sale. Use castrol srf on the supercars and no need to Bleed brakes over a race weekend. Do the 1000km with no issues. Over 120 a bottle I seen at repco. A quality brake pad is always a good starting point the ebc stuff I've seen let go after 2 sessions with heavier cars. I'd be going to a decent track pad and maybe those porsche air guides on the control arm to help with some air over the rotor. Helps on 86/brz with stock callipers.

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
