My good friiend is keen on this car , Are the injectors maxxed out , what PSI do u run (be honest) , HKS turbo's are great for high boost what do you run on day to day also when ur ringing its neck??

$23 500 is a lil steep , but well worth it if its a good quality example..

Hi Blu32GTR, the injectors will only spike over 80%, only over by 3 or 4 percent. The dual stage boost controller has its standard setting on about 12 psi, and with the launch switch activated the car runs on 19-20 psi. The guys at unique auto sports have set all this up on the dyno and I havent tampered with it, except to turn the boost down a couple of pounds as the days have gotten hotter.

Its just had a new (reconditioned) engine put in under 3k ago, spent over 6 grand and have reciepts for all the work done. reason for replacement engine was incorrect tuning for australian fuel, (modded ecu in Japan) and new tune via power fc is healthy and clean. If price is too much for you I will sell cheaper with standard mags, there is over $15000 worth of extras alone on this car so I think price is reasonable,

Hi again,

the injectors are standard as far as I know, as is the fuel pump. The 265's are michelin sports and they have about 60% life left in them. They are a good tyre though, and I haven't seen any wear since I brought them 3k ago, second hand when I got the mags. the fronts are only 5% worn if that, and have heaps of life left in them. 216 rwkw was made @ top boost, at about 6000rpm. Obviously the pneumatic turbosmart system is inferior to an electronic boost controller and the ebc will net a better power figure and curve when installed and tuned correctly. You can pick up a boost control kit for the powerfc which is excellent and allows boost changes via the hand controller. They are about $450 down here, but they may be a little cheaper up in qld..?

If you look at the dyno sheet it actually made 216rwkw @ only 13psi....which is very impressive, if the turbo could be sorted to hold boost to redline it would probably make and extra 30rwkw....might be as easy as a HKS actuator $150 from greenline.

Nice car, great buy.

Hey BOOSTD your right, I just figured out that I've been looking at the sheet wrong the whole time!! Yeah The car still has lots of potential, may as well go electronic boost controller that should fix the problem, although HKS actuator would help with this setup soon.

yes, boost comes on quick, you gotta be very careful in the wet. I love the response of this turbo. Ive raced a Datto 1600 which had 190 rwkw (and was considerably lighter) but just couldnt get me because boost didnt come on for him until the last 2500 rpm in his rev range. Lag sucks huh? Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what sort of power increase I would get with an extra 7psi up top?

"$23 500 is a lil steep" please keep the comments to pm only and not in the main post. Steep? based off what?

1993 r33 gtst manual for $17000 with 60,000 on the clock +

Apexi bar and plate intercooler $1200

HKS gt2530 ball bearing turbo $2000

exhaust, including wastegate split dump pipe $500

18 inch Chrome DTM's with 265 rubber on the rears $2000 at least

GTR bodykit (front 400r bar, side skirts, GTR wing) $1000

Autometer boost gauge + Tomei air fuel gauge - mounted on dual side pillar pod $500

suspension

Short shift kit $400

Performance 6 puck Clutch $800 at least

HKS turbo timer $150

Apexi powerfc with hand controller $1500

Pioneer mp3 cd player $500

GFB stealth bov $350

HKS pod filter $200

Turbosmart boost controller with rocket launcher switch $300

spare R33 GTR front bar $500

$28,900

and you get all that tuned (which costs a lot too) for $23,500

no i dont know this person, merely pointing out that some people expect to much

still think its steep?

those are very conserative prices and dont include fitting and turing

intercooler supplied and fitted will be around 1600, the turbo would be $2500 fitted (or more)

and it looks as though he is using a Tanabe Racing Medallion muffler. Which arent cheap too..

Yes Tanabe muffler it is. Thanks paul, its nice to have someone point this out besides myself. Pics sent to mike J, but email is full... empty and I'll send you more

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
