Dale's silver 33 gtst came off the rollers last night. standard engine with gtrs turbo, 550 jectors, gtr fuel pump, plenum, fmic and zorst.

255 rwkw at only 1 bar of boost and an excellent delivery.

Unfortunately dale wont get to enjoy it for a bit as his hicas crapped itself on the way home and the car is steering like a drunk on stilts. could be a good thing too with greasy roads and an extra 100 hp. :thumbsup:

  • 2 weeks later...

hahah yea :P, Well managed to fix the hicas up abit, but the suspension is still stuffed :unsure:

Lost the internet for a while so was unable to update. Tune went very well, as Noel said. Car has a very linear powercurve. very nice to drive, As said also Suprisingly with only 14 psi made 255rwkw, on a safe tune.

highly Recommend Mick from Signature. :)

chucked it on a dyno down here in bris and it reads 10kw higher. So I doubt Micks dyno is happy at all. Infact i think its smack on accurate.

regards,

dale.

RB25 stock ecu cannot be edited, I think however the R34 neo rb25's can recieve the "dr drift" style remap chip...

You could however use something like an apexi safc to map the afm's which can be quite benificial, however it depends on how far you wanta go with your car in the future.

R33 owners/RB25 users go for aftermarket ECU's, must commonlly the apexi powerfc as its easy to use and very cheap in compairson to others on the market.

However that said, its a bit hard finding them at the right price these days as apexi have stopped production of the ecu due to lack of supply of a certain chip from Nec.

yeh i knew all that, thats common knowledge these days, i can get pfc tomorrow if i wanted but iv got the car where i want it, but iv heard that production of the chips that can be used for rb25 ecu's has started again, well you could always get them but they were way to expensive equaled roughly same as install n tune of a pfc plus alot o dikin round..

anyways i went there today n hittin up a power run tomorrow to check my afr's n shit.. car isnt in ideal dyno state at the moment but iv got parts here waiting to put on so would like to se before and after runs

There are options for tuning the stock R33 ECU but they require working 3 chips at once and not many tuners do that. About the only I know that might is Dr Drift, but that isn't a recommendation.

Take a look at the ways some guys are approaching using a GTR32/33 PFC to overcome the lack of supply. There is info around the forum.

Yeah Geoff "Dr Drift" did have a solution for the stock R33 ECU however it was easier and cheaper to buy a pfc and tune it.

So in short it was deemed a non-practical exercise, plus most tuners know the pfc and can tune them well with a datalog as where the dr drift stuff is not distributed all that well.

You have limited options to getting that tuned in QLD, I believe Mercury is the only place that can as they bought the rights/software to it in QLD or something like that.

2gceffy, so your just dyno'ing to check where you at before you play with it yes? So what are you asking when you say "Does anyone know about stock ECU's?

As I must have missunderstood what your asking when giving my first responce.

just curious to see what he is knowledgable in, i started makin a 300zx ecu into rb25 but couldnt be bothered ay i lost interest, you only need to swap round some pins and piss off a heap. the 300zx runs vct so you can tune it to rb25 very easily and you can rom tune them like r32,s13 ect im lookin to running a high flow again n that so might try it again one day......

prob should start back up on that ahahah

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
