BP Ultimate - nothing else unless you have to

Take it easy if it is starting to ping. Don't rev the car or hit boost. You'll end up leaning the girl out and have a rebuild on your hands. I put bad fuel into my car and she has been off the road for 2+ months now cause I didn't know any better. Use the correct fuel, and if you can't get there, just put enough in to get you to the right fuel.

My series 1 R33 was dynoed at 365rwhp (278rwkw) but she is getting rebuilt and I am aiming to have around 500rwhp when she is finished.

If you are in Brisbane take it to Option 1 Garage and speak to Rhys, he will be able to help you.

I have someone trying to tell me that for a 25/30 rebuild you need to get pistons custom made. Is that right? First time I have ever heard this. I thought you could just bore the cylinders out to 20 or 40thou and put some forgies in.

Cheers for that, there is a bit of a debate on PF at the moment about it: http://www.performanceforums.com/forums/sh....php?t=67204609 Could make for an interesting read if any of you have the time.

I don't know if this is going to help you at all, but these are the mods done to another R33 that was getting 472rwhp. Unsure if he advertised on this forum, but here are two links to have a read of if you're interested in getting the same amount of hp: http://www.performanceforums.com/forums/sh....php?t=67193992 http://www.performanceforums.com/forums/sh....php?t=67193482

Really fun The dyno was done before I bought the car so I really am going off what I have been told and know (which isn't much but I'm learning!) Good luck with trying to get 400rwhp, but I think you're going to need a few more add on's than what you have, unless you want to go through an engine rebuild.

no I made it up

Mine. I haven't taken any photos when she has been in my name, only cause she died recently and is currently getting fixed. more here: http://www.pbase.com/r33_temptress/cars

welcome to SAU

Just so you know my Skyline went bang. Anyway they have pulled my engine out and it's in pieces at the moment, I haven't actually seen it yet but my mate who was at the w/shop yesterday said he was speaking with the owner of the w/shop about my car and they are going to offer me a deal on a forged rb30 bottom end. Mick (owner) wants me to ring him tomorrow. So... pros and cons on an rb30 bottom end on a rb25? What are they? When I find out what this deal is I'll let you know, as well as cost price. Are there any questions I should be asking tomorrow arvo when I speak with Mick?

Currently, not at all. But when she is back on the road again, try getting me out of it

From 1 newbie to another, welcome I baught my Skyline in March and is currently undergoing a rebuild. '93 R33 GTS25T - must be the season for it!

No I didn't live in QLD, I just baught the car from there

Hit me with the rough costs: a) < 2k b) between 2 - 4k c) between 4 - 6k d) between 6 - 8k e) 8k > I know it all depends on what parts I get but just an average would be good.

HTT did a good repair job?

:lol: point me in the right direction and I'll move it!!

Hey everyone. Just thought I would introduce myself. My name is Phee, and I drive a 93 Nissan GTS25T Skyline. R33. Some pics below from when it was still in QLD. Haven't taken any pics of it in Darwin yet. I added one of myself so you know who you're talking to. More information about it can be found here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=119388 Cheers, Phee

Hey guys and girls. First post on this forum so play nice I own a '93 Nissan GT25T Skyline that recently went 'boom'. Some of you might know it if you're located in Brisbane. Had the lancer cut bonnet vents and dual cannons, white. Never the less, she was producing 365hp or 278kw at the rears on 14psi when dynoed in QLD. She lives in the NT now and ran 13.7 down the quarter on an unprepped track, 30C temp and 12psi. These are a very general outline of the mods on the car: G-Max Wheels rear: 18x9.5 with 265’s front: 18x8.5 Tein hight and rebound adjustable suspension Full 3inch custom exhaust with Magic Cat and twin Mufflers T70 turbo on X-Force highmount manifold Turbosmart 48mm Pro-Gate wastegate 100mm think Front Mount Inter Cooler Blitz blow off valve Sard fuel pressure Regulator Sard 550cc injectors Walbro 500 horsepower fuel pump Motec Enginge Management System (M600) Exceedy 5 puck clutch Pod air filter Oil catch can Thermo fan Bonnet vents Isotta Steering wheel DBA 4000series sloted disks alround with braided lines Braided fuel-line, blow-by, breather and radiator overflow hoses New chrome radiator overflow tank Gates Racing radiator hoses Viper 790VX Pager car alarm Now that I have the general outline of what I own, on the table... I am asking for advise as to why it could have possibly died on me. This is what happened: (Tuesday 23rd May around 10pm) Just finished dinner in town and was driving a mate home down the Hwy. A commodore ute was tailing my ass and when I slowed down for the lights I might as well have been piggy backing him. Lights went green so I put my foot down (rolling start, didn't dump the clutch). My boost kicks in around 4100rpm so I was changing gears around 5500. I looked back during a gear shift to see the ute move from behind me into the next lane to pass since I had started to slow down, but as his lights went across my exhaust I noticed smoke pouring out. Foot off the throttle completly and coastered along. Asked my mate if he had seen it and he had but we weren't 100% sure if it was smoke or spray from the tyres going over the water. I first thought it could have been a turbo seal going. I let her go for a bit then dropped her back into third when we got in more light and tried again. This time around during gear shift... no smoke and no turbo lag. Thought nothing more of it. (That's where I f**ked up) Got onto a back street a block away from my mates place and I start changing gears around 5500rpm again. (My redline is 6900 - 7000, and rev limiter cuts in around 7200). No turbo lag, no smoke from what we could see but being a back street all we had were headlights. There was a car oncoming so I didn't use my high beams which could have helped me see the smoke coming from under the bonnet but that aside. Driving along as normal and we pass the oncoming car. Then we both start to smell somthing (which we originally thought was the cars exhaust we just past) but it hung around. I backed off again for the upcoming intersection. I still didn't realise what had happened yet. We got back into street lights and that's when I realised that the smell was from my car. If I stopped at the T junction I wouldn't have made it across. Back into second and I tried to merge across the lanes but any pressure on the throttle and the engine would shudder. I put my foot on the clutch, put her in netural, and took my foot off and just rolled to a stop. Engine off. That's when I saw the smoke. Was about to get my extinguisher but it was obviously it was only burning oil so I didn't bother. Popped the bonnet and almost died. This is what we saw: * Dipstick blown out (excessive pressure in the sump) * Clean oil on left hand side of engine bay (including roof of bonnet) * Right hand side of engine looked clean still and the block looked intack. * Radiator intack, and temp guage didn't rise. Being me (and I am sure I wouldn't be the only one to try this), I wanted to know if she would start again. Nope. Wanted to crank but it wasn't having much luck in doing so. Left her alone after that. Cleaned up the oil and got her towed to my mates place by another mate who came down to help diagnose the f**k up. My mate checked the oil level yesterday (Wed 24th May) and the stick said she was still full, and the oil still clean with no traces of water. Today I hope to pull the plugs and see if there is any water or oil on one of them. Relating issues: * Oil was changed 2 weeks ago from really gluggy black old motul oil to new motul. She had to be flushed 3 times before I could put the new oil in. Had been between 10,000 - 15,000kms since last service. * I thought I would be clever and save some cash by putting in Unleaded fuel with a bottle of octain boost that I had left over from when I drove her back to Darwin from QLD in March. I used this method once on the trip back but only cause I had no choice, and nothing went wrong then. I am kicking myself over this, you don't need to say anything... but getting paid monthly sucks ass There was NO noise, and NO physical feeling when the sump rejected the dipstick. The only sign was that we could smell burning oil. (We both didn't even register it was oil cause it was clean oil and not dirty oil). The engine or turbo didn't seem to 'fail' until I had slowed right down and tried to accelerate again. I have already been told what a few repairs could be including new bottom end, which is all well and good, but has anyone else had this problem before? Do you know what the cause was? Any help and advise will be appreciated, as well as what you did or your mate did to repair their engine when something like this happened. I don't think I want to know how much it cost. Cheers guys and girls Phee
