hi i do under stand that this is a skyline website and i my self have a skyline and it is my pride and joy

but just putting a hypothetical out there lets say that u were offered a R33 GTR for free stock and no strings attached

but then the person giving u the car says that for free they will put a V8 like the ford aluminum 4.8L DOHC or GM small block that is similar u get the idea

would u keep it stock or will u get the V8

this is my first poll so soz if i stuffed it up

Your saying that someone would actually swap the legendary rb26 for a GM or ford v8? does that include the 7litre ls engine they put in the corvette?

The new zr1 engine puts out 600+ hp so that wouls be my choice but if its just the crappy 5.7, 4.8litre engines then id rather the stock rb26.

lol stock r33 for sure haha

the V8 has to be a small block because in the real world a big block will be real hard to fit in a skyline

ford sell out of the box motors fully dressed with +500hp and it is a small block and good for daly driving

http://www.fordracingparts.com/crateengine/modularcobra.asp

so the small blocks can put out a bit more power then ppl give them credit for

or on the other hand u can go with a RB26 which is still real good

If I took the LS2 from my 07 clubby and put it in a 33 gtr, I don't think I would be lacking in smiles when the foot goes down :) No doubt more response everywhere then stock 33 gtr with stock rb26.

if still 4wd, then v8. if not, then stock.

what makes you ask this? is it ever going to happen? bit random.... or are you thinkin of putting a V8 in one but too ashamed to admit it?

as a side note, someone up in sydney is building a VH41 (45?) power R32 GTR, still retaining the 4wd, with a couple of turbos thrown in for good measure. i think its performance metalcraft that are doing it..... cant remember now though

If the V8 can somehow be adapted to work with the ATESSA then I'd take the V8. Otherwise I'll stick with the RB26 and ATESSA (what good is lots of power without traction?).

fun thats what!

there are millions of r33's out there so do it, be different

some guy on boostcruising put a nissan v8 (not sure of the name of the engine) into his r33 it was doing low 12's from memory

RB26 all the way.

Thats the reason for turbo chargers, don't need all those Cubic Inches IMO.

And whatever top end you can achive with a V8, you can do the same with a 2.6lt Straight 6 Twin Turbo.

Thats how I see it anyway, I enjoy the feeling of the boost kicking and high reving cars.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.

      @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html

      These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.

      The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.

      It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
