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!

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
