Gday all,

some great R33 examples in here, its been a great read from pg 1 lol!

i thought i would post some pics of my newly aquired S1 R33 GTS-t, its got some things on there i know your all gonna spew, ie: GTR badge!! but keep in mind ive just bought it and none of it is my doing, infact my sister inlaw who sold it to me bought it like that too back in 06' hahah...but it does have some fruit with 300rwhp.

Also, if anyone in WA recognise this car please pm me as im chasing details of the engine and management system, i was told it has a Forged bottom end after it fried a piston in standard form with nitrous! This car was purchased in 06 by my sister inlaw, that previous owner had the engine done by a shop N.O.R back in 06.(im lead to believe the engine builder now works at Chris Mills Performance??)

Thats all the info i have on its history, so if you know the car or the old owner please pm me!! cheers!!

what the future holds:

Ive since got custom plates for it, i got "SCR33MN" in poly white on grey, slim line front!! woot!

Stickers on door...GONE!

GTR Badge...GONE!

You might spot in the pics the ding in the front rim? well ive got to see if i can get it fixed, if i can then i will also paint them black.

Im going to get rid of the mirror tint and just get black tint all round, legal up font, darker on the rears!

A clean up of the interior, driver seat is pretty worn and some painted bits are scratched and stuff on the dash.

As far as engine mods go, i hope to have a new GT35 hangin off it in time for Powercruise in October(High Flow turbo will be for sale then) if it turns out the engine realy does have a forged bottom end then look out, hahah...

keep the great pics comin...

cheers,

Gonz.

thats a very tidy machine there gonz :( always had a soft spot for silver 33s, dont see many of them

cheers, ima fan of silver cars, its my 3rd, the other 2 being utes, i realy like the black and silver contrast it gives, my other favourite car colour is burgundy, and Skylines look great in both colours IMO!!

Its a good thing you said that, after looking at the pics i was ready to start hanging it on you for the gtr badge.

hahaha, yeh i bet, i dont know why someone would do that, im proud of it being a GTS-t, but dont get me wrong, if i had the money for a GTR thats what it would be lol!

Heres my R33, Just bought her off a fellow member (some of you may recognize if you watch the for sale section)

Firstly i bought it coz it came in the m spec kit and all, nice p1 buddy rims, Nice exhaust, and 2 month old respray in silver with ice gold pearl in it, it sparkles in the light :) Also, its a type S :P (n/a) lsd and vct standard

so yeah, im fair happy with it espec being my first car and all, drove it back from qld to vic coz it was the most decent r33 for sale ive seen in ages.

Plans cosmetically are Gtr grill, and tint :) even maybe lower, but ive already scraped going to fill her up :)

Let me know what you guys think :)

P.s One pic i got bored and pulled the grill off :( Looks not bad i rekon.

Looks nice, dont like the missing grill, can see toomuch of the shit thats in there, if you like that front bar be nice with it, becoming very hard to find these days.

Only took grill out to get a feel of what a gtr grill would look like :thanks: Yeah i love type m front bars :D

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
