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.

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.

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!

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.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
