I cant figure out the exact type. its confusing...

My R33 is a NA

The plate in the bonnet says its a ECR33 which i read on a site a few mins ago and it said its a turbo. it also says teh same on wikipedia.

another site which is showing the different kits that came with the r33 shows teh exact kit mine has and it says r33gtst

i have the exact kit as the r33 gtst one in the picture even the color is the same lol

http://www.skylinesdownunder.com/index.php...2&Itemid=81

On my driver side door it says R33 GTST

Inside the bonnet it says RB25DET

I even have LSD

HICAS too but i think all of them came with it.

If my car WAS a turbo does it mean i can fit in a turbo without changin most of teh other stuff?

i dont know much bout wonderful skylines...

plz help

Its a R33 GTS-T which is a turbo model compared to an R33 GTS...now there would be space for you to fit a bigger aftermarket turbo it will be on the right side of the engine block.

An RB25DET is a turbo 2.5Lt

Hope this helps mate

Its got 4 Studs :D i just checked the front ones. even the back ones has to be be the same right?

And how do i check if its got 4 pot front and 2 pot rear?

what are the Pots?

another question, i went onto the following site and it says mine has 147KW(TYPE S) compared to the standard version which is 140Kw. why?

Why has mine got a little Kw more?

thanx guyz

you must be talking about engine power output not at the wheels... i never heard of two non turbo r33's ever having two different official engine power readings???? sure you get this power difference between different engines because there not made exactly the same or on different dyno's on different days.... but im pretty certain nissan never intended this power difference (if there is a power difference at all). Websites are generally crap and have some sence of lies toward them..... you are using wikipedia as a source.... ive just read through wikipedia on the skyline page very briefly and ive found 3 mistakes... mainly because anyone can go onto the site and change what ever they want.... my brother made a story up about him being a decendent of the greek monarchy who is now living in sydney.... in summary wikipedia is crap and so are most car websites....

if you car does have an extra 7kw in the engine then its mostlikely something simple like a more straighter exhaust than the 140kw ones or came standard with better spark plugs.... something small like that...

also you should have checked the car out properly before you bought it, make sure you do next time because you dont want cars taken off you because they are linked to being rebirthed....

Nah i knew it was not a turbo when i bought it coz i was looking for a Non Turbo, But its my first car and i had no Idea what RB25DE was and what RB25DET.

my plates dont say that its a turbo. There is another Plate thingy which says that and on the side of my door. maybe they put it on all of them.

bout the 147Kw thing i got it from this site maybe its fake but not wikipedia.

Check the Type S and the Standard Version.

Nearly all the websites show that the Type S Variant has 7Kw more.

I also told someone to FAST my vin number i have attached it. And it says its Type S.

I know its not a turbo was just tryin to find out if its possible that the Type S has the same engine as the turbo version without the TURBO.

Because it has all the features that the Turbo version has.

Then i can Turbo it easily.

Will Post pics of the engine bay soon. maybe tomorrow.

Cheers

ECR33 is a model code, from memory it is the "C" in the model code that indicates your car has the HICAS steering system. AFAIK it has nothing to do with your car being turbo or not, as there are also ECR33's that are GTS25t

an Rb25de has a few things different to the DET such as a higher a compression ratio etc, so while it may be so that there is an s version with 7 extra kw from factory, it's still an rb25de, you'd still have to follow the same turbo conversion process

turbo r33's go for cheap these days so even if you went the whole hog of a turbo converion, 5 stud and gtst spec brakes, new engine management system you'd end up spending more for the conversion than selling your car for whatever you can get and buying a gts-t

Yeah man guess ur Right. I will just sell it and get a Turbo one.

I am just a f**kin stupid flamin mongrel. I had enough cash at the time i bought the non turbo but i chose to listen to people telling me not to get a turbo one coz the turbo gets f***ed fast. and i think it was bullshit. i am gettin angry now.

anyways cheers guyz.

The turbo's on skylines do tend to go after a decent time of driving it hard but it is nothing to stop you from buying it. It is just another part that needs replacing when it needs to. :(

Its the same as your clutch you keep droppin the standard one your gonna need to fit a Heavy Duty, same with suspension and brakes...its just like any other car needs replacing.

Yeah i didnt know anything bout the type of engines and stuff but i did the stuff that everyone does when buyin a car. Like taking it for inspection and checking for problems/damages. and it was excellent and is still excellent.

fyi, my (supposed) standard turbo is still fine... I've had the car for over 4 years.

I only say supposed because I haven't looked at it, but it's pumping out just over 200kw and doesn't appear to be having any troubles holding a bar of boost...

I wouldn't recommend doing that if anyone is reading this, 10psi is safe, not 14.7... I'm actually trying to destroy it :sick:

Buyers regret bro, everyone gets it. You make mistakes to learn from them, so you know better for next time :banana:

As everyone has said, wear and tear can happen with any car, burnouts and clutching kicking don't help either ;)

It does sound like the people giving you advice on beforehand have never owned a turbo car and if they did they obviously hadn't taken care of it properly.

You'll find most stories of turbos F*cking up fast are more from the owners doing stupid things like overboosting the stock turbo, ghetto modding or just plain thrashing it/ never servicing it

anyway, hope you aren't out of pocket too much. But you definitely won't regret going from n/a to turbo skyline :D

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
