A friend just got an R33 GTR V-spec Skyline (supposedly a 1996 model) but we don't really know much about them here in the US. Unfortunately it didn't come with an owner's manual. I'm just curious about some switches on the dash board: one to the left-hand underside of the steering wheel that is a toggle switch and the other switch is to the left-hand side of the steering wheel close to the combi switch and looks to have an LED just above it. Reference this picture; I'm talking about the switches near the Power FC.

I should have taken pictures when I had the chance but I didn't think about it at the time.

What is the switch to the right of the wheel in this picture:

Electric mirror positioning?

Switch on the left (near PFC handset) is an aerial switch. Extends aeriel to half or full extension. Other switch on the right is for mirrors - positioning and for folding back against the car.

You have a 95 model 33 series I there not a 96 , 96 models are series II , they have different steering wheel and stereo suround .

That's what I thought. It's been advertised as a 1996 model though.

This is the car:

It came with these parts:

HKS F-con S

HKS EVC

INJEN custom piping

INJEN air filters

BLITZ intercooler

HKS super dragger full catback exhaust system

HKS down pipes

2 HKS blow off valves

It no longer has the S-AFC advertised, I guess one of the previous owners took it. The car was tuned with the F-con S, S-AFC, and EVC but it seems out of tune, I'm assuming because of the absense of the S-AFC. I think the safe thing to do is to disconnect the F-con and then set the boost at a safe level. What boost do you guys usually run with these basic mods and no other engine management? Is stock boost .5 bar?

Thanks.

    • There's no way they left the factory like that. In R chassis there is nothing stopping the steering wheel being put on one spline out from straight, and then adjusting the steering arms to "correct" it (sort of). As well as the indicator cancelling there would also be an issue with how tight you can turn in one direction to the other. The other (less likely) possibility is that the "clock spring" (the circular electronic part that allows the wheel to turn while still having an electrical connection for horn and any other buttons like cruise) might not be in place correctly. I don't have any pics of the R33 (or Stagea) setup but there would be a circular locating tab which sits in the steering column to have it straight...if that is not seated properly then the indicators may not cancel at the right point (and, you might also get a HICAS error since it would think you are driving in circles)
    • It will mostly be bad scoring on the bores, which you can almost certainly fix by machining for oversize pistons. I have to say, I am super surprised that any standard turbos made it 35 years down the track before exploding!
    • Thanks for the info mate was thinking 255/35 rears and 235/40 fronts
    • What's the difference? I would have said that between the front and rear axle lines, there's no noticeable diff between a GTR and an NA 2-door.
    • It will be salvageable. It really doesn't matter what is damaged. Opening up a 30+ year old motor for a rebuild immediately means a complete rebuild of the head anyway. Damaged valves just means an opportunity to put in some nice new ones. And in the modern day, why would you not throw at least a nice set of pistons at something. And if you're doing that, why not rods, and ARP fasteners, and so on.
