Hi everyone. My name is victim7. I own a 1995 Series 1.5 R33 GTS-T 5 sp manual. I bought it back in December 2005 in Sydney and then had it shipped over to me in Perth. I then drove it home. (I live in Albany, 400km sth of Perth). It has a 3" exhaust from the turbo back, High flow (racing) cat, twin plate HD clutch, HKS blow off valve, Apexi turbo timer, and it's chipped (or so I've been told, I dont really know for sure but I've hit top speed of 240 Kmh and apparently from the factory they have a 180 Kmh speed limitation). Anyone know how I can tell if its been chipped other than that? I've also fitted a pod filter since I got it. Stock engine and turbo. 1st thing will be a Trust front mounted intercooler and a boost controller. Any advice on this would be much appreciated. Anyway, thats me. Once again, Hi to everyone out there in Skylines Australia.

you can tell if its been chipped if you take the cover off the ECU... if its been chipped, the standard solder-in ROM chip will have been removed, and a socket soldered in, in its place, with the new chip inside that...

or if its a MINES ecu or something like that they usually have the sticker on the outside of it.

but if you've hit 240, there's 2 things i can deduce from that... a) you're an idiot and b) the standard 180kph speed limiter has been removed, which is either done by running a speed cut defender or a modified/aftermarket ECU

A little harsh don't you think?? :D For all we know he may have achieved this speed on a track somewhere!!

the car has an exhaust and a pod... which means it is going to be not much quicker than standard (i.e. wet wig)... there is not a track in Australia short of Bathurst (conrod straight) that i can think of that a near-standard R33 would be able to wind out to anywhere near 240kph

you know...there are actually places in this country where there are no speed limits...and I'm sure WA may just fall into this category...(frowning)

eh yeh fair harsh, theres quite a few long roads in AUS that are unlimited speed, people always jumping to conclusions.. Mentioning anything over 100 KPH, mentioning drifting, burnouts or standstills and youll get flamed instantly, its quite sad really. Seems people think theres no places in australia you can enter into these activities legally :O

Put it this way - why does the Aussie Joe-Public simply LOVE their hi-po motorbikes??

I'll tell ya - speed, speed, and more speed... thats straightline speed and cornering speed. Thats how bikes are judged here, how quick they are in all-round conditions. Im finaly using my smarts, and walking away from riding tho.

To see if its chipped, open up the kick panel on the pasenger side (under golvebox), check over the front and rear of the ECU for stickes, stamps, tampering etc.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
