Hi Guys i've been apart of this forum for sometime now and though i should share my R33 story.

I previously owned r33 but i have a thing for s1 r33 and was looking for a sunroof version which i found was hard to find manual for some odd reason.. long story short I FOUND IT!!

bought the car for $2200 at pickles auction with a bent rear control arm $50 fix and add some rego i was good to go!post-88360-0-01906000-1414492314_thumb.jpegpost-88360-0-88309300-1414492321_thumb.jpegpost-88360-0-63470100-1414492329_thumb.jpegpost-88360-0-44838300-1414492348_thumb.jpegpost-88360-0-16152400-1414492356_thumb.jpeg

got it home found out it was auto and had a na 33 box in it :( so i had plans to squeeze more power out of the car i bought another smashed s2 R33 for 2.5k and which had an immaculate box in it I know hard to believe :woot: swapped the box and actually finished the conversion and hooked up the reverse lights and neutral wire so car would stall..

here comes the fun i purchased a R34 op6 high flow, 660cc Jecs injectors, Power fc, 044 pump and Z32 bang put it all in off to the tuners i go! car made 243kw on 18psi turbo was surging if we went any higher.

Exterior XXR wheels and bought another Mspec bar and painted it.

ofcause i was eager to find out what time it can do down the qtr so here i am..

I totally removed the water oil heat exchanger with a rb30 oil filter stud I ordered from nissan works a treat cars ready before I squeeze more power.post-88360-0-35616700-1414498475_thumb.jpgpost-88360-0-34712000-1414498563_thumb.jpgpost-88360-0-03427400-1414498608_thumb.jpgpost-88360-0-16237700-1414498650_thumb.jpg

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      The Ls1 R33 Of Fury

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
