Hello there, in the process of purchasing a GTS-t r33.

its mods,

turbo back 3" exhaust

hks airpod

hks bov (may remove, depends if i like it)

now i need to take it for a 100k service... whats involved in that??

also is a stock tune ok with these mods or is it better to go do a dyno tune? im guessing a stock tune is ok.

Thanks for help

Firstly, you cannot tune a stock ecu.

The 100k service is a major service and normally includes the following:

Timing belt change

Water pump change

Drive belts change

Fuel Filter change

Spark plugs change

Engine, gearbox and diff oils changed

Change oil filter

Some workshops will also do a compression test as part of a major service

yeah thats why i was asking what kinda tune for a near stock car. so getting it tuned would just be correct plugs, points, and the timing..

Points? Are you that old ? All modern cars have computers . R33 skylines don't even have distributors !

omg are you serious?? even my sr20 has a distributor... i know sr20's better then rb's... well for now. so soon ill own both the sr20 and the rb25. im guessing the technology in a rb is far more advanced then the sr20. at first i loved the 2 litre 4 cyclinder... but i can tell im gonna find my soul mate in the rb serious... ive got 3 days to own and experience all night and all day.

There is a ticking noise in my r33. its done 90,000k's. (ticking noise is like the noise you hear 4 cyclinders make eg spark plugs etc)

can this just be in need of a service? 100k service? timing belt and spark plugs. also with the r33 is there also a timing chain? or is that the same as the timing belt????????

hydrolic lifters are fairly noisy in the R33.. but new oil and not too thin.

at 90 000, if you have the cash i'd change the timing belt ( does the job of a chain but external to the motor..) just incase its been winded .. definately cant hurt

injectors do tick a little of course too.

and your SR20 should only have a side mounted CAS ( crank angle sensor) not a dizzy

Is your SR20 a non-turbo? SR20DE (atmo 180sx version) used a conventional distributor but the turbo ones have multi-coil ignition (according to Drift Battle magazine).

well done, yes my sr20 is non turbo. front wheel drive at that! i just hope as craved said. that the ticking noise is the hydro lifters and injectors. because my mates s2 r33 doesnt make that sound. and i cant be driving a car that makes a bad sound because its screwed. ok if it makes a bad sound and its in perfect nick!

well i never .. lol

just like the old pulsars.. oh well :P

yeah hard to say how bad the ticking is without hearing it of course..

what oil is it running.. too thin and it'll make more noise..

firstly, you *can* tune a stock ecu with a remap.

however, I wouldn't bother with only these mods, if you change turbo's then yes, but otherwise it should be ok. Just get it on the dyno when you get a chance and make sure the AFR's aren't too lean.

If a "tune" you're referring to spark plugs, check timing etc. then all cars should have this done from time to time!

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
