New Guy

[boosted22]

howdy fellas, just wanted to introduce me self, me names phill, first time on the site, i just brought a 96 r33, absoulate owsome, preety impressed with the way they go, i had a ba turbo wich i sold about one n half years ago, great to be back in a car with some balls, shity old van was starting to have its toll. i was just wondering if some one could help me, i have just put on a turbosmart eboost series one guage, after messing around with dialling it in, it runs three set points to choose from ( stages ) i set 1 at 7psi 2 at 10 psi 3 at 13 psi, when i was driving around i switched two setppoint 2 10 psi but when i gassed it i just couldnt get over 7psi, i wipped the eboost and just set set point 1 at 10psi but still no go, 7.2 psi was the most i could get from it, the motors stock apart from a front mount and blow of valve, what are the factory wastegate springs, would this be why i cant get any more if the waste gate is only 7psi, also i just brought a set of mags for it as well, when i went to try the set on i like we poped the cap of the other mag and it was only 4 studd the dude at the shop said turbo models only came out with 5 studd, and non turbo 4, but the car is a gts-t model, some other fella there saidnah the turbos do come out with 4studd and small brakes, on the early model, when i brought it they told me its a late model series 2, any ideas what the go is, and the fuel pump is fairly noise, buzzes away fairly loud is that normal. go guys cheers for your time.

No R33 GTST's came out 4 stud. Its hard to tell from your description, but it sounds like your car has 5 studs and the wheels you went to try on were 4 stud.

As for the car not producing boost above 7 pound, you will have to override the factory boost cut, as it is around 7-8 pound I think.

[boosted22]

yer sorry was in a bit of a rush, mines 4 studd,

how do you over ride the boost cut out, whats the max boost to run on a standard motor and turbo.

[4door_Sleeper]

If yours is a 4 stud it may be a non turbo that has been converted to a turbo. (not 100% sute that R33 not turbos were 4 stud, but the R32 non turbos were 4 stud)

Other indicators are the badges on the front guards should be red for turbo, blue for non turbo)

If you search the forums you will find someone who can decode oyur VIN and tell you what options were on the car as it left the factory.

PS - anyone else notice the lack of replies to this thread compared to the last "Hi im new" post from a 19 year old GIRL.

Phill, wou may get more help from some of these guys if you tell them your name is Phillis or Filicity and that you are between 16 and 20 years old.

Does the GT badge have a blue backgroud or a red background?

How to tell a Turbo from Non turbo from the outside..... on the R33 this is,

Turbo

- 5 Stud

- GT Badge has a red background

- Sticker on rear reads GTS25T

Non-Turbo

- 4 Stud

- GT Badge has a blue backgroud

- Sticker on rear reads GTS25

sounds to me that you have been misinformed when you purchased your import. no turbo model skyline ever came out in 4 stud EVER, badges or not. in regards to your boost, did you install the ebc yourself or was it on the car when you got it. if it was on the car already then it could be the stock solenoid not being disconnected or bypassed thus not allow you to go over the standard boost level. if it was installed by a workshop, take it back and get them to rectify the issues. other then that, enjoy it.

[Nozila]

p.s turbo model 'line has bigger brake calipers

[boosted22]

has red badges on the side

what do i need for some one to run that check, vin number or something, will take a cuple pics off the id plates, as a blue one on the back fire wall, and a green one on the shock tower, this ones just reads skyline ss 96model 2dr 5seater or something like that. will get a few pics tomorrow, chees anyway.

[boosted22]

brought the car from road style motors on north east road, if any one knows it, white gtr body kit.

[vange]

mines a 96 s2 r33 gts-t, and its got blue badges 4 some reason. but 5 stud, i think the guy who had it b4 was going 4 the blue white look, cos the break calipers r painted blue as well. it better not b a na conversion lol

my old non turbo 33 had 4 stud, very annoying.

no such thing as a non turbo with 2 airbags...can any1 confirm that? cos if its not true, then im gona start doing some checking on mine!

lots of new ppl signing up latley...looks like we got alot more of us on the rds...maybe we should form sau elite members forum lol

[Nozila]

noisy/buzzing fuel pump is because yours isnt stock. you have an aftermarket one, bosche/walbro maybe.

yer sweet mate once i can comfirm its a genuine turbo, not a mock up one.

Congrats on the purchase, enjoy it!!

Mine is 96 S2 33 GTSt and has red badges, 5 stud and twin airbags. I believe the twin airbags was a option, well the passenger side one anyways........Woooo Hoooo it's a proper one!

[Nozila]

series 2 came with driver and passenger airbags as standard. it was an option on the 1.5 series (option as having passenger airbag as an option). if your referring to the badges near the side skirts then yes turbo models have red/white ones. the white/blue ones are for n/a's but many people have tried to make their's a sleeper/unconspicuos (sp) by taking the red/white ones off and replacing it with white/blue one's. but the 5 studs are a dead giveaway.

[(OO Black 33 OO)]

congrats on the purchase, should get some pics up so we can have a look. Hopefully someone has changed the badges and its a s2.

Checked mine, phew all the signs of a true s2 96 gtst lol.
