[/b] Hi Guys,

My name's Kylee...This my first post on this fourm....Just got rid of my Vl which i had for over three years and decided I needed somethin a little newer and a bit quiker. So I bought a 94 R33 GTST and was just wondering if anyone can give me the correct specs of this make (Inc kw's). I was also curious to know whether or not they come standard with LSD, I have been told many different answers. Also, just wanted to know what the HICAS light means, I know what it stands for but it keeps comin up after i have driven the car for a while. I have been told its nothin to worry about and someone even mentioned theirs stays on the whole time cos they have a non standard computer? Anyway, my car is pretty much standard and I just had it dynoed and it has 158kw's so i was curious to know how many kw's they came out with :(

they came with 184kw (manual gearbox). that is at the flywheel, not the wheels. any power figure quoted by a manufacturer is at the flywheel.

and yes they come standard with lsd, but there is 2 types of lsd. most have the standard viscous lsd. some have the active lsd.

should these questions have come before you bought the car?

No, because i would have bought the car anyway. I was just curious... having answered these questions before I bought the car would have been irrelavant. Knowing how many kw's they come standard with and if they have LSD would not have changed my mind about buying one.. things can always be changed on it anyway!

hi kylee,

um good question i was also after specs on mine stocko. I have simlar model to Yours. .. i found this in the forum. One of the guys here made it, (great work btw), check it out here. http://nissanskyline.6te.net/

got loads of info on skylines stock.. um i think they were 147rwkw stock btw.

cheers

Oh ps. Hicas light comming on. isnt normal. mine comes on occasionally, (hicas diagnostic mode) where light comes on and steering tightens.. but i disconnect battery for about 15 mins, then reconnect, and its ok. I think probably sensor issue. But No mechanics or performance shops ive been too so far can figure it out. so good luck with that one. but first think is to disconnect battery, hicas fuse, Hicas computer, and check all sensors. and clean connections. if u can find someone who knows how to troubleshoot the system properly. let me know. :P

187kw for series 2

and less than 184 for auto R33's

Thanks guys for the input.

The hicas still came on when i had the standard steering wheel though.

I now realise after looking at the other sites that i make the extra power at the wheels from standard because i have the exhaust upgrade. :)

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
