Hey I just bought my R33 GTST and was looking forward to meeting some skyline owners from Newcastle area so i could meet and get some ideas on what to do to my skyline to have maximum affect cause i don't know what iam doing cause its my first turbo car yeah i seen the light thanx and hope to meet you guys soon.

thanx Joe

Hey JT im from neiwe too and I saw ya driving your beast today. I think u were hjeading to cardiff? I was in a silver lancer next to ya. dunno if u noticed. but yeah when i get my line back we go for a cruise :P

Phil

Im in adelaide is that close enough??????

Really I use tolive in Newcastle and now in Adelaide and NOW moving back to Sydney for work haaaaaaaaaa! Cruzed around newcastle a few years ago in my red r33 gtst with South Australian number plates and only seen 2 skylines i could not wait to get back to adeliade to get my import intake, bla bla any way will bring the GTR to Newcastle to see the folks and bring out for a drive to meet some of you lot as I need to make new friends. Any back to the real question and answer as most know doing up a import is not that hard for bang for bucks .

I reckon Full exhaust and i mean turbo back you lose around 20+ kw if you leave the standard front pipe on and only put a cat back exhaust so do it right if you can and do the whole lot in one hit . Next if you have standard air box leave it as this is the best unless you like the sucking noise just replace the filter to a K&N style this reduces heat and allows good air flow with cleaner air. Front mount dont need to go stupid in size look into it GTR intercoolers are a good option but notthe best and if you look hard enough you will find cheaper. Final is a boost controller i use to have a AVCR i loved it not saying this is the best but it looked good too. with this and a good dyno tune should see your self between 220 and 250rwkw just my thoughts. Want to go nuts on mod your car go to the extream pull the motor out put a RB30 bottom end with your rb25 head power fc which you will need and a 3540 turbo larger injectors bigger fuel rail forged pistons etc list goes on plus will almost need a application for a personal loan. Good luck

well thanks for that nice to know hope to speak you some time but Hope to get more information out of you though :D

Lol. Sorry.:D

Yea the Ceffy's pretty stock atm, with 3" from the turbo back, front mount, Profec B, pod filter.

Dont drive it much these days due to boring company car, that comes with free fuel :)

Big plans though, Power FC, GT30 maby. Anyone got a RB20 block i can have??? :)

Peace.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
