ok so i finally made up my mind on a GT3076R with .63 rear housing externally gated, unfortunately i wont have the $$$ until tax time next year but until then i will be doing heaps of little bits and pieces to have everything ready so the new turbo can bolt straight on and get tuned. thanks for the help on here guys! Jeremey: i have only driven the car 2 times since i put the lock bar in, it feels much better and more stable and will save the rear tyres from suffering inside wear and tear.

ok so i have been doing a bit of research on the various turbos i can get. the cost to get my current T04E rebuilt with ball bearing cartirdges is just shy of 2k which i think is way too much, i can get a genuine garrett for that much. seems like the better turbo to with is a Garrett GT3582R with a .63 or .73 rear housing externally gated. your thoughts?

hey jeremy, if you dont mind me asking, how much is that turbo costing you? im just finding the t04E a little unreliable power wise at the moment want something with a bit more punch, was thinking a gt3582r .82 rear ex housing. the HICAS is rear wheel steering unit, which is located right behind the diff if you look under the car, by removing the HICAS unit and putting in a lock bar as i have done disables the rear steering and makes it solid which is easier to drift on, better on tyre wear etc. and cheap to buy, took me about 25 mins to install.

SO!! just wanting some peoples opinions on here, i am wanting to change my turbo from this current bush bearing T04E oil cooled turbo to a garrett something turbo, with these mods what do you think would be a good choice? 3076??? i am after response and pull trying to minimize lag. K GO!

So i was getting sick of having HICAS in the 33 so i went down to rollin imports on the gold coast and picked my self up a HICAS lock bar ($88 brand new!!!!) i thought it was a bargain lol.. so in it goes next on the list is window tint

PRICE: $13,000 with RWC and Rego or $12,500 no rego or rwc. Located on the gold coast

i have been running this T04E turbo on my R33 Rb25DET since late last year, however the car has only been on the road for about 3 months since then thanks to constant mods i have been doing and dyno tuning. it is a great turbo, very healthy, no shaft play. the rear housing is pretty small im thinking around.63, quite responsive and punchy. this turbo has helped my R33 run 310 HP on 1 bar boost very comfortably and extremely reliable i am asking $500 or nearest offer as this turbo is not old at all and basically like new. oil cooled and has always had nulon fully synthetic oil running through it. contact me on 0410 645 079

SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD

NEWS UPDATE: hasnt been much happening to the car recently as i am trying to save up some mulah! but i sold my GTR wing to a nice bloke on here who is building up his 33 in W.A. a few days later i found all jap in brisbane had a carbon fiber drift style boot lip, so i went and picked that up, brought it home and threw it on the car straight away, im pretty happy with the look of it so far, within the next few months the car will be getting a full respray with a kit and all, most likely going a darker colour so the carbon fiber blends in a bit better. but for now im very happy with the look of it also found this video which is pretty interesting on regarding the ongoing debate over engine oils. i think ill be using nulon from now on thanks for looking

hey all, i have decided to go with a different look on my R33 therefore i am putting my GTR boot wing up for sale, it is in perfect condition freshly sprayed in maroon a year ago. LED brake light works perfectly, overall in great condition!! located on the gold coast. can contact me on 0410 645 079 $290 ono

I am running 1 bar, spiking to 17psi through the rev range. inside the engine is 100% standard and un touched also DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO GET R33 BOOT LIP AND REAR WINDOW SPOILER??

hey guys, the paint i used was just metalcast paint from supercheap, you can basically use any paint but then apply a heat proof clear coat over the top 2-3 coats, they are rated to 650 degrees! i used 3M products. Yeah the JDMST meet was insane, first one i ever been to and it broke the skylines cruise virginity !! haha more to come for sure.

haha cheers mate, love the wheels on this thing, grips like crazy with the 265 tyers on the rear!! at the moment im just going to save some coin but i will definately look at getting a fuel rail when i do the surge tank set up.

yeah mate i have tried to do everything on my own with this car and have loved working on it, its great because now i know how everything is done on the car because i did it haha. i am a apprentice engineer - fabricator for work, i can do custom bits and pieces on the side if anyone ever needs stuff done cheers for the feedback guys, love this thing on gate. next step is making a surge tank as on tight corner/uphill etc she backfires a bit, most likely from fuel sloshing around in the tank so hopefully a surge set up will prevent this

NEWS UPDATE: just got car back from Gavin wood AutoTech and all i can say is that i would recommend him to everyone i know, great service, so professional and go to great lengths to ensure the safety of the car both on the dyno and once it comes off the dyno. car made 305HP on low boost which i am extremely happy about. i had to put all new heavy duty clamps every where and put some tig welds all around every intake pipe to ensure none of them slip off anymore. i also replaced the water pump with a highflow GMB pump and put a gates racing timing belt on. whilst doing all this i got a 3" highflow cat as the old one was 2 1/4 ". Gavin wood has explained that to gain more power, better boost curve etc i will need a better manifold where the wastegate is positioned in a more accurate place. but for now i am happy with the car. will just be tidying up the exterior and interior and saving up for another turbo and manifold set up. PICS will be uploaded later tonight!

yeah mate, i was going to do it silver but i think in the next few weeks or months (depending on $$) i might try and get a HKS fuel rail or something similar which are anodized in pink or purple...might make the engine bay look a bit different. make it or break it haha. but at this stage i just cant wait to get the dam thing tuned and on the road!! thanks for the feedback bud.

So its been a while since my last post on my R33, i re tensioned the bolts on plenum and it didnt make any difference to the air leak noise, i found that it was definately the plenum though. Anyway i took the turbo off again, and tig welded the new 38mm Tial wastegate to the manifold witht the 1 bar spring in it. once all that was back on the car i found a cheap greddy style plenum along with a 80mm top rpm throttle body!! i then tigged up some new intercooler piping in 75mm 316 stainless steel to suit the bigger size intake cant wait to here it running!! bit by bit i have been putting everything back together and making sure it is all done right this time round. the car is set to be going in to get tuned at Gavin Wood Autotech next week, before then i have to make a new throttle cable bracket and re wire the boost controller anyway enough rambling on, here is some pics of the progress. all welded up The plenum when i bought it After i sandblasted it, first coat. final coat in blue to match the blue bits in the engine bay. 80mm TB new plenum on just a little bit neater cant wait to get her dyno tuned next week, hopefully for more torque than HP figures, with the T04E turbo i am hoping for over 310HP at the wheels on 1 bar and maybe a bit more on 18psi, street fuel. future mods will be little bits n pieces to do with interior and body work, roof wing, top secret front bar, rolled guards etc. enjoy and let me know what you think

Thanks mate, she is getting there slowly but surely. as of 2 thursdays ago the car has started making a hissing noise (air leak) it doesnt really happen when accelerating under slight load etc, mainly on cruising and idle. very annoying!! anyone have any ideas as to what it might be, i did pull the plenum off before it went to the dyno tuner so maybe the rubber gasket has moved if one of the bolts has come loose or something.

hey everyone, so i got this skyline in January this year, it is a 1995 R33 GTS-t. i must say this is the first skyline i have owned and i love it to bits!! previously i have had S13's and various other imports but when it comes to quality workmanship especially in a car thats 16 years old!! When i got it the car was not running well due to a split in the exhaust manifold gasket so straight up i removed the turbo etc to find a cheap and nasty china gasket, i replaced this with a genuine nissan part and got the exhaust manifold flange machined at the same time. took it for a drive and realised it has a massive miss/boost cut and 3 weeks after this the rego ran out....so i sold my S13, did a bit of online shopping and the build started to get this R33 running. first up i got my hands on a T04E turbo and stainless highmount manifold * apexi power fc * 740cc injectors * heat wrap * new FPR * exeedy clutch * Z32 AFM * and all major service items. in the garage goes the R33 and the tare apart/build begins. unfortunately i do not have too many pics but i will upload the ones i do have. i noticed the previous owner has put alot of cheap parts on the car that just wont work, so i pulled them all off and replaced with genuine or good aftermarket parts. at this stage i had all the parts ready to go, so i started putting the injectors in the rail, replacing some lines, new gaskets, checking for leaks...and then i noticed a oil leak from the rear of a rocker cover....thought to my self...the stock rocker covers look shit, so i went out and bought some paint and gave them a nice respray. this is the result. looks way better than before!! within 2 nights after work i had the thing back together, so i booked in for a dyno tune down at the pits with matty spry in a few days. this is what the car looks like the morning before it was going on the tow truck to the dyno. overall i am pretty happy with the result bad sad because i still havnt heard the car running since all this work i have done!! so off to the pits it goes!! 2 weeks later i get a phone call saying my car will be ready that afternoon....at 4:30 i rock up to find matty spry looking into my engine bay telling me the car caught fire on the final dyno pull!!! VERY PISSED OFF, small wiring fire that was too close to the turbo lit up, so just over $1,000 poorer left with a broken car, another tow truck later.....the car gets towed from matty sprys workshop to my uncles house who luckily can fix the wiring...turns out the wiring was burnt out all the way back to the dash basically!! so everything was re wired. surprisingly the tune that was almost finished was still saved and wasnt deleted in the fire, so i was able to drive the car..... after 1 week of driving the shitty china JJR wastegate seems to be giving way, so i have ordered a 38mm tial wastegate with 1 bar spring. Also forgot to add that when 85% of the tune was finished the car only made 300hp on 17psi spiking to 21.5psi through the mid range (big issues with wastegate and bov) but bov and wastegate are soon to be changed, hopefully make somewhere around 320HP at the wheels on a lower boost. some future mods to look out for on this post are: * R33 GTR interior * garrett gt35R * and the odd bits n pieces like tinted windows * also looking for a greddy style plenum with 90mm throttle body. will have more pics up soon!!
