Hi guys,

Ive been busy grabing up goodies for my 33 GTS-t and will be looking at getting a tune within the next month or so. Is there anything that really stands out you would recomend getting upgraded before the tune that i havnt covered.

Car Stands at the moment

1996 R33 GTS-t Series 2, 91,xxxkms

3" Turbo Back exhaust

CoolingPro Return Flow FMIC

Bosch Intank Highflow fuelpump (unknown HP)

Apexi Power Intake Pod Filter with Alloy Intake pipe

600cc rb25det highflow injectors (yet to arrive)

Apexi Power FC (will be installed with tune)

GReddy Profec B spec II EBC (will be installed with tune)

Hypergear 450hp T3x Highflow Turbo (will be purchasing shortly and tune will be conducted after run in)

If there is anything you feel i shoudl take a look at before doing the une that woudl save some extra work later please let me know :) Thanks for any helps guys i appreciate your experience and expertise :thumbsup:

I would say, cold airbox with cold air feed.. but seeing as you have the Blitz Style return flow, id say, stock airbox and a decent panel filter :thumbsup:, rather than the Pod.

But thats just me.. and plenty of others agree.

This part about the turbo

"will be purchasing shortly and tune will be conducted after run in"

What run in are you talking about?

You have a fresh motor?

Nice mod list, turbo IMO lets it down a little.

Also find out 110% what the fuel pump is before you start, saves hassle later

Gotrice - Thanks yeh i have been trying to think of a way to make a cold air intake for the pod without cutting holes, so far jsut using standard "snorkle" to funel air to the pod may modify airbox later.

R31Nismob - No motor is not fresh but the turbo will be built and need a run in 1000k ish before the oil flows properly then gets a dyno tune.

I know the trubo lets it down a little but it seems great value for money and does save any hassle on upgrading manifolds and the such and helps keep things looking standardish haha

As long as i end up with over 200rwks il be satifyed for now :thumbsup:

Edited by Keeffy

The airbox would probly have to be fairly well sealed for the snorkle to achieve alot. The way i see it, the stock box sucks air through it because it has no choice, but an unsealed cold airbox wouldnt be as efficient because its clearly going to suck air from the easiest location.

Oh, and listen to R31Nismoid.. he knows what hes on about!

Thanks guys im jsut going of what hypergear has informed me and they have been making these turbos for quite some time.

"As for the run in, The bearings needs to wear in about 1 thou to allow more oil flow"

hey dude, good mods, yes the turbo is decent bang for buck... im running one now at bout 15psi-17psi.... they have pretty good torque.... i got a little over 400 on status's dyno....

why not spend ~$200ish more and get a z32 to finish off... because i imagine in ur current setup the afm will be ur limiter.... get that and u'll be @ about 230rwkw... without it, probably 200ish because the afm wont be able to handle it....

gl with it....

Coilpacks huh thanks for the heads up, looks like i have a little more time up my sleeve, gogin to wait till hypergears bigger rear highflow turbo is in stock inless i can find a cheap r34 turbo op6 rear housing haha :D

Thanks agian guys keep them coming.

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
