Hi everybody.

I've just recently purchased my R31 GTS-R

that has an RB25DET conversion.

Last night with Dr_drift and Meggala we establised it has a series 2 RB25.

ALSO... now this is the bonus part.

The ECU was just sitting on the floor behind the carpet and a few screws were missing.

So we HAD to have a look and one opened up we saw that the ECU had a nice daughter board with a chip... :eek:

A fully programmable chip that is.

Right down the the valve timing.

How cool is that. :Party:

No $1,500+ APEXI Power FC for me to tune the ECU and go fast :burnout:

No... this isn't the R32 chipped...

i was gonna let dr_drift play with that on mine for some ground work but there's more better things now.

It's a 33 ECU with a daughter board and on that board are several chips.

This car was a race/drfit car in Japan and has many mods.

As for markings on the chip or nothing... there are none. It's a generic sort of chip with the maps bunrt on it.

It looks like someone has done it in their bedroom sorta of thing... not something brought off a shelf that's for sure.

Maybe that's why it goes so hard

:D

series 2 RB25DET

Massive STOCK frount mount

I think it has a T04E.. them came with them stock so i'm assuming it's what on there. Hits boost about 4,000rpm.

turbo extractors... STOCK

stainless steel exhaust manifold... again Stock!

It's got coils overs all round. Cusco is what's on there (i've got spare 500 pound springs as opposed to the 250/200 that are in there now)

5 Stud converstion -- > R32 GTR brakes

shortend shifter

R32 Forged GTR Rims

Monster heavy clutch.

260 km/h IMPUL dash

of course the ECU is modded

stainless steel exhaust manifold and turbo extracts r the same thing. And it cant be a massive stock fmic as the stock rb25det cooler is anything but massive or front mount! :D

There are extractors coming off the block going into the turbo.

And then off the ass end of the turbo.. the exhaust manifold is stainless steel.

so that is different is it not ?

or wan't i clear ??

And the stock front mount for a GTS-R is huge. TRUST ME. i know lot's about the R31 imports.

If you see the car i can explain it.

The GTS-R's were brought out (only 800) for the group A racing.

That's why it has lot's of good stock parts.

off the block to the turbo is called the exhaust manifold and from the back of the turbo is called the dump pipe!

:D

Yep!

I'll be there for sure.

it has no extra boost so i guess it's running around the 9psi mark with the big cooler and exhaust...

i'm being a bit conservative but i think i should get at least 180.

Dr_drift is more towards the 200+ though.

we shall see on the day though :P

Might even do some tuning now the ECU has been found to be chipped

R31Nizmoid - Cool, if Dr-Drift can work out how to re-map the R33 ones it'd be great. But I think the write once 84 pin chips are about $70, and the re-writables are about $250 or so !!!

Unless your ECU daughterboard got rid of the 84 pin chip all together and uses a cheaper chip - now that would be cool..

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
