    Is something missing?...

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Posted

    Hi guys, a few things i'm unsure about...

    1. Should there be something attached to the end of this valve?

    2. Where abouts do I find the engine number, have scoured all over the engine bay but cant find it on any plates?

    3. Dump pipes? I think my R33 has a 3" dump pipe that the previous owner didnt know about. What's the diameter of stock pipes? My 3" pipe comes off the back of turbo and connects to Cat Converter? Yes/No?

    Queensland Workshops\Service Centers?

    in Queensland

    I've been scouring the forums for mentions of recommended Workshops/Service Centers in Queensland, but havent had much luck.

    Is there are list of Workshops/Service Centers on these forums somewhere that I cant find? If there isn't, it might be a good idea to start one and make it sticky?

    If you know of any in Queensland please list them?

    R33 Gauge Levels?

    Thats a relief, sort of. So its most likely an Electric Gauge problem? I'm not game to take off the dash myself, unless its mega easy.

    Might be a job for an Auto Elec?

    R33 Gauge Levels?

    in General Maintenance

    Hi,

    I've only had my R33 a few days and was wondering about the position of the hand on the Boost Gauge? Upon starting the car it rises to over +7, is this normal?

    This is going to sound like a real dumb question, but I didnt really notice it before I changed the oil. The Oil Pressure Gauge fluctuates from about 2.5 on idle to 4 when cruising to about 6.5 when giving it a bit of stick, I just wanted to check whether these levels are also OK?

    Thanks

    95 R33 GTS-t: $2000 for mods?

    in Forced Induction Performance

    Posted

    As of later this week I’ll be the proud owner of a 95" R33 GTS25t, during ownership I am looking to only spend around $2000 on mods. At the moment the only non-stock parts are the 3" exhaust, air intake and BOV, I'm not sure what to invest in next.

    After doing a bit of reading it seems that if new PartA is installed it can put additional pressure on Partb meaning you need a new PartC, so I’m a little confused. I should note that 80% of my driving is freeway driving.

    It looks like most people don’t recommend running the stock turbo over 12psi, if mine was upped to 10-11psi what mods should be added to accommodate this increase with a $2000 budget? Where does a newbie start, second hand FMIC?

    Any help here would be great here too!

    Cheers

    in General Maintenance

    Posted

    I'll be pickin up my new R33 GTS-t later this week and would like to do my own mini self service soon after, how’s this sound:

    - Oil change (Fully synthetic? Something to accommodate freeway driving?)

    - Oil filter (145a)

    - Clean air filter

    - Fuel injectors (metho?)

    - Fuel filter (z200?)

    - Coolant

    - Spark plugs (NGK .08mm)

    - Octane Boost :-)

    - Reset ECU

    - Then a Tune

    Anything else?

    Pre-Purchase Inspections?

    in General Automotive Discussion

    Posted

    Hi Guys,

    Looking at getting a 95' R33 GTS-t's (in QLD) and was wondering when it comes to inspections is best to get someone like RACQ/NRMA or someone specialised in the area like someone who works in a perfomance workshop? Also what would the costs be roughly?

    I dont know of any performance centers myself locally and because I live on the Sunshine Coast probably getting the car in a workshop would be a hassle?

    Edit: I've only recently moved to QLD, is it compulsory in this state to get RWC/SC's when selling a vehicle?

    Thanks
