Hi guys.

As the title says, i have a S1.5 Dec95 and was wondering which skyline had VVT. my engine is a series 2, as my mate has a series 1 and it looks completly different.

Can somone shed some light. Also if it does have it, when does it kick in ect.

Can somone point me to a good webpage to readt about the R33 VVT, i did a search and nothing came up.

All R33's had exactly the same variable cam timing, in that (I think) the exhaust cam is retarded 2° between just above idle and until ~4800rpm. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong on the exact details but it's something like that. If you put your foot down, the car should sound different and go noticeably better once you hit 4800rpm or so. This is the cam timing doing its thing.

Anyway, R33 VCT is a static cam timing (ie it's fixed at either 0° or 2°, it can't do anything in between) and is activated purely by an RPM switch, it wasn't until the Neo engines in the R34 that the RB had constantly variable cam timing, meaning it could be adjusted to any value within its range and could do so at any rpm.

So the short answer to your question is all of them lol. The visual difference between your motor and your mate's (if they're both stock) is that his will have the ignitor box at the rear of the coil cover (black plastic box behind the stock BOV), yours will have a plug in its place. If either engine is modded then that will also explain differences between their appearance :laugh:

TPS are also different.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
