Hey guys. I couldn't really find a "Members Rides" section so i thought i would post it in here with my fellow NSW people lol.

I have an R33 GTS-T Series 1 (1993) and i'm loving it :)

when i bought the car it had the following:

- EMS Computer

- GCG Hi Flow Turbo

- Turbosmart Boost Controller

- Front Mount

- Forged Pistons

- Koni Suspension

- Pod Filter

- 19" Gestalt Diamond Series (from Ozzy Tyres)

- Respray in Gold Rush with Green Pearl

- Alarm System

As the usual thing to do when you first buy a car i changed the spark plugs, oil and oil filter (as this wasn't done in a long time). And it made alot of difference (got rid of that misfire at boost)

Anyway i booked myself in to get my car tuned and the guy said to me that the car hasn't even been tuned before. That the EMS Computer was just put in and left on basic settings to make the car run.

He also said that the car was running at only 6PSI and he is amazed that it could run as long as it had been without the tune.

SOOOOO... he started tuning it. everything was sweet but then because of the 'non tuned' engine my spark plugs were already screwed and once he tried boosting it beyond the 10PSI limit it misfired badly. So he tuned it to 8PSI for me. (which i'm happy with until i get the new spark plugs and coil packs :) )

Now im driving it around and enjoying it alot more with a MUCH better power delivery YAY! :D

My next mod will just be the oil change again with new spark plugs and wack on some good coil packs (im going to go with "Super Spark" and see how they run)

Anyway guys i will continue to update you's on the progress and things and hopefully i can make things interesting for you LOL.

Here are some pics of the car and the tuning with my dyno sheet.

Thanks guys/gals

UPDATE:

Should be changing the oil (AGAIN) this weekend hopefully and also the spark plugs

HOPEFULLY the spark plugs can handle it now that its all good and tuned and hoping that the car will run smoother after the change (not that it doesnt run good now, but any improvement is good lol)

Thanks for watching guys/gals

I recon haha

it was actually the bright red colour. But my camera on my stupid phone couldnt pick up the colour lol.

I even had video's and things but it got so loud that the microphone on the phone couldnt handle it and it started making like a scratching sound. Like as if i was holding the phone outside of my car whilst driving.

You wont make that much power on stock injectors or with stock fuel pump if you have one still. What are your plugs gapped to? They should be at 0.8mm for the boost you intend to run (not the boost you are running now though).

If you still have stock injectors then maybe make sure you have an aftermarket pump, add an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and you should be able to get up around 220-230rwkw.

    • They are, a good friend of mine bought one to replace his blow factory turbo, running a Toshi Tune reflash. Just use their supplied water/oil lines and you're good to go. At the time, they were like $900 delivered.
    • This is an option for 100% bolt on, the GCG high flow -  https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html Also, I'm pretty sure hypergear does a high flow that is 100% bolt on, it just doesn't make as much power as their bigger high flows.  Even if you get a hypergear turbo that requires you to chance the intake piping, it is a really simple modification. It can be as simple as a piece of silicon hose and you pop a filter on the end. It doesn't have to be some crazy pie cut titanium work of art intake pipe.  If you have the ability to swap the turbo yourself, you would be able to sort the intake piping out. 
    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?
