I think we need to just confirm a few things about the R33 non-turbo skylines. Firstly not all R33's were turbo, they came with RB25DE engines.

They may not be turbo but they can hold their own, I went 1 and 0 off the line over 200m 'I think' against R32 GTS-T, so they have plenty of power. Plus they look good done up, WITHOUT being rice!!!

Man you guys were ripped off something shocking!!! My I'm obviously in Tas and I brought mine from the mainland, Vic. It was in perfect condition..one or two spots on the paint, 58K's on the clock (its true k's) stock standard 100% and I picked it up very cheap indeed. $9500.

If you want to get a value on them at the moment go to http://www.carsguide.com.au and value the car. A R33 GTS is worth between about $10 to 13000. That's the average national private sales price anyway. If they really want to sell their car they wont say no to an offer anywhere up to about $2000 less than what they are asking. GTS's are harder to sell then turbos, 'sometimes' so make sure your getting it for the bvest price possible!!

Read back further in the thread - there are 2.0L SOHC NA R33's (GTS spec) - 100kw of pure power as well....... The GTS25's are not bad, but the GTS's on the other hand....

Hey Ant, what's the go with this type S 140/147kws? how does that valve mechanism add the 7 kws? Obviously something to do with the exhaust but how does it work exactly?

There is a valve in the (standard) 2nd exhaust outlet that opens above 4000rpm (not sure on that value - just what I've heard). Essentially frees up the exhaust a bit. Not sure if that accounts for all of the extra 7kw - the ECU mapping may be slightly different as well?

Yeh mine has one of those.

it makes this sik sound when it does open at bout 5000rpm .

and usually when i pull out of the drive way and take of on the street it does as well.

I've been in the market 4 an exhaust system fitted.

Although i havetrouble finding them my freind has a 67 mini.

ive seen the price for the exhaust systems being sold for the 67' minis and it seems that the older the model the cheaper the price.

the systems i've seen at autobarn for Skylines seem to be costing me between $1000- $2000 g.

why is this so?

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By Duncan · Posted

      FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
