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

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
