Hey guys.

My name's Aleks and I'm from adelaide :D

I'm an apprentice motor mechanic starting monday and I'm in the market for an R33 GTS-T.

I'm always hated skylines, always thought of them as a japanese commodore that is' nearly as common as the australian one :P

But since actually having driven one, and being in a GTR this has greatly, GREATLY changed my point of view. So much that I know want one :D with only $15,000 to spend sadly a GTR is out of sight for me but i'm gonna get myself a nice GTS-T and use it as my daily.

About me?

I'm a croatian kid :) 18 years old, a motor mechanic apprentice.

I currently drive an MZ20 but i'm selling it an upgrading to a 33 :D

Now I've been lurking here for a while reading up on nearly every thread I could. But I still have some questions!

First of all, this is the car I'm most likely looking to get. http://carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/de...1&silo=1011

Here is basically the run down

*TO3-4 turbo

*G-ready plenum

*Injectors

*Headers

*GTR intercooler

*GTR fuel pump

*Oil cooler

*Double plated clutch

*Up graded brakes

*3 1/2 inch exhaust system

1. Can anyone tell me what kind of power this would make? Owner has no dyno results.

2. What amount of boost is safe? On my MZ20 I never went past 7psi as that was stock and I didn't want to blow the engine up.

3. What oil? I've used penrite 20w 50 on my MZ20 but that's an old engine. From the guild on here I couldn't actually figure out an answer...

4. Recently went to a dealer who was selling a really nice stagea, but it was sold. he showed me two GTS-T's he had for sale. $10,000 for a S1 and $15,000 for an S2. Isn't the difference purely cosmetic + dual air bags on S2?

:D

I've got 2 buyers keen on buyin' my car now so I need to pick out a nice 33 fairly soon :(

Anyhoo that's it fellas, I'll probably be a lil' more spoken now and lurk a little less. My mechanical knowledge as current is minimal especially with an engine besides the 7M-GTE.

Cheerio,

Aleks

Ahhh so i'm not the only one :)

Speak it?

Aleks

To be perfectly honest not well at all. If you dont use it you forget it. That and the fact that my parents seperated when I was 5. So any Cro that I had rapidly began to deteriorate.I can understand most conversations to some degree, But if I try and speak back.....it all just comes out WRONG!!!!

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
