Hi :D

am new member on this forum - just few days ago I bought SKY r33 from Japan its 93 years model with hicas and lsd, i need some information about this car anyway its firs sky in Tbilisi so this forum is my only hope:) firs of all i need to know where ECU is displaced and what is turbo PSi boost??? i know its 7psi is that correct?? and what modifications shoud i do for? I have seen the intercooler on stock its so small:) will i have any extra hp or more PSI in turbo after installing intercooler kit??

please be kind and give some advice

and thanks for helping

Welcome to Skylines Oz.

The ECU is found on the pasanger side front kick panel. This is the panel directly below the glove box. You will see a 10mm plastic nut, undo this and pull the cover off, it takes a bit of fore to unclip it, be gentel through. (if you sit in the pasanger sit, and rotate the left foot towards the outside of the car, you will hit the panel behind which the ECU can be found.)

The stock ecu runs 5psi below 4500rpm and 7psi above that, there is a hack to make the car run 7psi all the time. Look under the DIY section.

In regards to modifications, get a full exhaust, a good boost controller and posibly a new fuel pump, as skyline ones a notourious for failing, posibly a new computer or a pigyback one, and 200rwKw or 270hp at the rear wheels is easy to get.

Wouldnt Georgia be better off with 4wds? :(

Tbilisi is a city with over million people so im sure there is lots of sealed roads

i would get rid of the hicas save 20kg in weight and makes for a better handling car

it must be cool 2 have the first line in Tbilisi

About roads we have no problem:) I can tell you roads in Tbilisi and central magistral roads are better conditon in Caucasus:) and we have RUSTAVI track its 4.4 km long its not LAGUNA SECA but road cover is in good condition so people dont have any problem with adrenalin:) 2 days ago i Install boost gauge its shows more than 7 PSI its mneans turbo is ok, actualy this is my first Japan car because mostly Georgians are Bavarian fans:)

sky3hs8.jpg

this is my sky i run 402 meter 13 .55 sec i think its ok for stock car without any modifications and again i have miss when changing gear from second to third:) i think i need time because i have run onle just 500 km yet, and there is video of my car and BMW 540 actualy 4.4 engine with 286 hp with tiptronic gear box and we push acceleration after 50 km in hour:) BMW 540 VS R33 GTST

That doesn't sound like a stock R33 gtst. If it was stock, it would be in the 14's. The fact that you run over 7psi shows that it isn't stock aswellr.

Ah ok. Nice car you got there mate!

thanks mate:) are you Russian??:ninja:

car is completely stock without modification i check it ! opens turbo above 3000 on 4500-5000 with missfire:) and than shows 7-8 psi before that till 5... car is with original muffler and exaust system

Mods? Exhaust - ECU - Intercooler - Boost controller? then worry about everything else! :laugh:

do you have links of this items?? where i can find them??? what you mean ECU it there any GTST ECU modifications???

and do anybody know how much i can boost turbo witout angine modification, actualy its now araund 8 PSI

thanks again:)

Hi mate,

the highes you should go is 12psi maximum, 10-11 is safer. Over 12psi and ur exhaust wheel on the turbo will blow off. you shoudl upgrade your intercoole rif your running more boost. Also get a full exhaust system.

I bought boost controller but I dont know what is recomended PSI what i can boost on GTS25T? car is absolutely stock....

Please Help!Please Help!Please Help!;)

What tmc_2 said. Go 10psi. Although if you haven't put a full exhaust system on yet, don't boost it at all. The stock system is very restrictive and you won't reap the best benefits. Intake & Exhaust & intercooler first (although its probably colder there anyway), then boost.

i wouldnt be screwing any more boost into it without some better breathing. you need an exhaust, intercooler and pod filter immediately before boosting the poor stock motor.

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
