Just had a flick thru a few copies I have

HPI Issue 21 "R33 tune"

HPI No24 "plug-in 33' stuff on LT12

Some stuff on peoples R33s and what they have done to them personally. Like in HPI No27.

Don't know if you can directly compare moding an R33GTs25t to a R34 GTt , but there project R34 articles are pretty interesting.

A few good articles on Autospeed as well.

Oz.

Thanks guys!

It just makes interesting reading. I am a Hot 4s subscriber but there is never much "performance" type articles in there, and I can't remember ever seeing a Skyline in it! I just signed myself up for a subscription to HPI.

maybe thats coz Hot4s deal with 4cyl cars and the 'line has 6?

Modifing for safety! Now theres a topic we don't see every day.

Look for a thread titled 'how to volvo-ise your R33'

HPI aren't maybe the best people to go to for a 'safe' mod guide, given the R34 project that they killed the stock turbo on, by setting the boost too high on the AVCR (you would think since it was a relatively new R34 they would be more carefull).

I'd say starting a thread with an outline of your budget and performance desires would be a good start.

    • So, good news and bad news Bad news first: The intake plenum is lost in the mail apparently, I haven't paid for it yet, and MX5 Mania are still chasing it up, farking 'Merica postal service  Good news: Any retune will be free if and when it turns up,  I'm still keen for them to throw it on The car goes noticeably better, with only the typical initial take off thingie from a choppy cam and manual transmission, but giving it just a little more RPM than before gives it a smooth take off (and hour or so of peak hour traffic sorted that little skill out) Car made around 145kwatw & 225Nm (Intake may get me to 150kw, maybe....馃ぃ) Weirdly, 145kwatw is the same max power that my standard 2015 WRX STI made a few years ago The cam really comes alive from around 3.5k and keeps making power and holds it flatish all the way to 7k, whereas before torque would drop hard around at 4.5k Drive home was sadly in peak hour, although I did get a little clean air here and there to wind out 1st and 2nd a little bit, and whilst the gains aren't anything for the "boosted boys" to be impressed at, the thing is a blast to drive The sound in the vid is poor, as it is in a undercover yard at work, but, outside, in the wild, it sounds awesomeballs to my ears with all the choppyness I consider it money very well spent for the outcome  Cam specs for reference (Basically the biggest you can fit with stock pistons) 20250417_171807.mp4   LOL, I don't think I will ever grow up  
    • Swap the injectors around and see what happens. If the misfire follows the injectors then that's a signal, if it doesn't it's probably not the injectors.
    • R33 with RB26 seems to go off of learned voltage for idle. Seemed like whatever the baseline voltage was once ECU first gains power will be the idle voltage. With ignition on unplug/replugging the TPS would relearn the idle TPS voltage.
    • Have you confirmed the 2 pin coolant temp sensor on the motor is working properly? I've had a very similar issue when I forgot to plug mine back in many years ago.
    • Ok interesting i guess ill wait till using a manual gauge before making assumptions.
