Hey everyone. I have never been in a turbo car before, so I was wondering if any one could explain to me what the acceleration feels like in an r33 gts-t stock. Do you get that pull sensation that everyone speaks of?

Sorry - probably a stupid question but anyway.

Also, sorry if this is in the wrong spot.

Thanks

Luke. ;)

Well its hard to compare, like when my mate first brought his AUTO R33 Skyline Series 1.5 , Back then i just turned 18 and brought a VTEC prelude and knew nothing about cars, Yes, i did get a sick nice geforce.... but i think it was in my mind + my crappy h22a prelude manual... comparing to that. Overall Stock pulls ok, not bad, very smooth feel.

Stock wont have much of a feel to it, as it isnt running lots of boost.

You'll get the feeling of being pushed into the back of your seat a second time as boost kicks in, in any turbo.

Passenger seat always feels faster, driver's seat always feels more fun, especially in a manual.

Untill you get use to it and the power bug bites.

^^ yes, you get used to it and want more power, a vicious cycle of high power mods occurs, and you take it for granted, until the day you drive somebody else's naturally aspirated 4 cylinder 1.2l front wheel drive auto...suddenly, you love your car soo much more.

Very true, mine f**ked up and i had to go back to my old nc fairlane for a month, was awesome getting back into the skyline.

If your not use to it or a first timer, then you will feel the turbo kick in and you get that feeling like on a roller coaster "Butterflies in your stomach"...

After a while you get use to it and it's considered normal, till you increase your boost.

It's a bit irrelevant how fast the car is IMO...unless it's running 0 psi, comparing off boost to on boost you still get the pull that he is talking about in any turbo car, particularly if you've never been in a turbo car. I can feel it in a turbo diesel Land Cruiser and like you guys I've also been in some seriously fast cars (subjective I know). He will definitely get that pull, but yes it will fade off after a while if he doesn't swap between slow and fast cars or modify his.

Also I'm going to say the stock GTS-T is a fast car...by the standards of road cars today it still is. 99% of cars you come across these days, it's still only V8s and other turbo cars that are going to keep up with you in a properly driven zero to speed limit dash.

OK

$350.00 Touch of Class recon you could save about $14650.00 + no on roads and be sensationaly pulled.

:) Just had to do it he he. :)

Next time I'm in Bris I can take you for a cruise?

I used to own a 180sx so the launch of the skyline didnt impress me...

First ride in the 180 I imagine would be much like the skyline... away it goes and it feels like your being dragged forward

i could tell the difference in power and that "pull sensation" your words not mine.

but this was me going from a tr magna to a r33 gtst but now im use to the power it feels slow to me at the moment and im constantly craving more power.

In my opinion, you won't get a nice PULL from a stock R33 until you do some basic mods, e.g. Pod air filter, Blow off valve, front mounted intercooler and possibly some new Spitfire coilcovers and NGK spark plugs - this is what I call the basic mods. After these, you will experience a good hike in power. Added with a boost controller you'll be hitting the 200 kws mark and from here you will feel the joy.

Modify your car slowly as once you've done everything you'll soon want to move on to another car.

Hmm...

R33 NA, = nothing.

R32 GTS4 = Yes definitely (they are turbo). Everyone says these are underpowered but it felt like a rocket the first few times I drove it.

R33 GTR = OMGWTFBBQ when I first drove it (its stock too!).

As for the argument of normal family cars being as quick as a stock R33 GTST, I'd say yes they are and you would get that "pull" sensation from them. A mate and I had a run, his stockie R34 GTT vs my mum's 2005 Saab 95 Linear. At about 140, he had me at 2 car lengths. (On private property of course :banana: )

I just drove the 07 Corolla sedan my parents bought & up till then I never released how much BETTER my car was compared to that A-B white good.

It wasn't the power difference that surprised me, (to be honest I felt that the Corolla had more pull compared to my car somehow, even though it only had 100kw at the fly wheel & weights almost the same as a GTS-T :banana:)

The steering had the most difference, the Corolla doesn't have a 'steering feel' to it at all. Felt like I was playing one of those old driving games at the arcade where the plastic wheel doesn't have force feed back. It felt pretty loose no matter what speed I'm going at.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
