Hi ACT guys and gals,

My names Sam and just thought I'd finally post up after lingering on the forums for a couple of weeks.

Bought a White R33 from an importer in Sydney 2 weeks ago and just passed at the Dickson Motor Registry on Wednesday. It's stock as a rock apart from a cat back exhaust and some 17" rims which i'm looking to replace as I only just noticed that they are using bolt on spacers.

I've come from the RS Liberty Club and still currently own my 1992 Subaru Liberty RS which is a pretty wicked beast with many many mods on it. However, I've made the swap back to a Skyline as I'm seeing the skidpan and the motorkhana's run by the MG car club more often than Wakefield (which i set the Subie up for).

Looking forward to doing some mild mods on the 33 (nothing major) and seeing some other skylines in action at the khana or skidpan in the future.

Cheers

Sam

Welcome Sam, its good to see you 'come out' rather than lurking :P and of course we want pics (we always do)

You will have to come out to the Museum one of these nights and catch up with us all. The hillclimb is on tomorrow at Sutton Road... if you swing by for a look, don't forget to come say hi to us, just look for the Skylines.

Thanks for the warm welcome people :-)

MIVEC depending on what you have lying around, will see what we can work out, got any pics of them?

LadyBytes what happens at the museum at nights? I've been on some cruises with some Canberra clubs and they tend to be a little too...out of hand.

a20089, the skidpan on the 11th i'm assuming you are talking about... I'm actually entered in on the Northrop session which is the session in the afternoon from you guys. Might have to come out and watch you all to get psyched up (although i don't need much encouragment), if you want to see me and my subie in action, check out fifthgears promo vid, i'm the one smoking it up in the middle of the track.

^^^ wot he said... and the Museum is a friendly, well behaved, get together and chat about where/how/why all things Skyline - Oh and I try to sh!t stir where I can, but no hooning. I'm going to try and organise a Friday night cruise and soccer game one of these Fridays once I know we can use the footy fields.

race_snooze - I was after a Series 2 specifically. As well as a completely stock standard one for Skidpan, Motorkhana and hill climb events only.

S04R3R - Was wondering where you were at mate! Congrats on pickin up the skyline soon mate. We both know that we will regret moving on from the RS's as they are awesome cars, but I found more Pro's than Con's with the R33 to not go down the path.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
