hi all

i just have a couple of quick silly questions as im still a fresh noob, all questions relate to my R33 GTS-T

1. I have a switch on my console that says Power, A/T, Snow...what exactly does the snow one do, i would imagine it would stop sudden bursts of boost...others have told me it could mean it turns the turbo's off...(would be good if you were next to cops lol)

2. what engine oil would you recommend to put into these babies, i kno thin oil like 5w or 10w but what brand and what ratio?

Thank you in advance people

Jay

Hey dude,

-the power switch holds gears for a bit longer before changing; try it from a standstill and you will know what i mean.

-The normal mode changes nice and smoothly but you can always give a little more pedal to make the car hold the gear.

-The snow mode starts the car off in second gear which is a safer in slippery conditions but technically you wouldnt use it in aus. There is no way to turn off the turbos

for oil i would use 5w40 or 10w40. Full synthetics are definitely the best like from mobil1 or castrol and motul make a very nice oil called turbolight which is very good for the price at about 50bux.

If your insane and paranoid like me you can use motul chrono 300v at like 150bux

Welcome to forums by the way, im sure your car will give you plenty of joy....or pain

Please post some pics of your car when you get the chance.

just a bit of something i've learnt driving my car around. you can make it go into power if you hit the accelerator fast. say if you were at a standstill and you suddenly mash the pedal. or if you are cruising, quickly lift off and mash. it happens even if you are trying to take off slow, and hit the accelerator fast but lightly. in essence it depends on how quickly you get on the pedal not really how far you push it down

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
