ok so to tell the story ill start from the begining.

I bought my 98 40th aniverseary r33 gts-t about 10 months after my stock 96 r33 was a write off after the big perth hail storm.:(

I got it with about 70 000 on the clock and it just seamed to have much more power. So not being the bees knees on cars and all and just getting to learning about everything you can do with mods i just left it as being a better car. Anyway today i read a froum on how to ground the standard solenoid and run at 7-8 psi so thought great sounds easy so went to do it. Well i looked at the soleniod and it had no hoses going into it (wtf) so had a look around. Then i saw that to my supprise i had a blitz sbc dual soleniod cool i thought. Anway traced the cables into the interior and they went all the way to behind the ash tray, so i pulled it out and there was the boost controler there all the time ( felt like bit f a bumb ass) . So now i had to have a bit of a play and got some good boost out of it but as i'm still kinda knew to the whole mod thing can anyone give me any advise on what it should be set at with a stock turbo as don't want to over boost the engine but really stoked with the find.

10psi should be safe, hehe dunno why the previous post didnt load up when I viewed the page before, I wouldnt go more than 12psi though.

in saying that I had an rb20 180 before and ran that around on 1 bar with standard turbo, ca18 side mount (thin as fk) 3" exaust and a walbro pump for a year or so and didnt have an issue, could be that I got lucky though, next guy to own it wrote it off though so I cant say how long it lasted

If it goes better than your old r33, then i would just see what boost it is running before you do anything. At a guessyou will get better gains by having the ecu remapped than than turning the boost up more.

got it running at 10psi for now and it seams to handle that ok. Just feel like i got this bug now and want more and more and more. Pissing the mrs off always looking at what i can do. lol.

How do you know it only has the standard turbo? Could be a hi-flow. Could have an after market ECU. Does it have a standard exhaust, intercooler etc?

Time to do some poking around in the engine bay perhaps. Might find some more hidden treasure. :(

yeah thought that too. It's got 3 1/2 inch exhaust blitz nur spec, standard intercooler though ( Got to get an after market one next thing i'm doing anyone got ideas on brand? ), jap psr and psr-k stickers when open the fuel flap to fill up (not sure what this means, Bigger pump or bigger injectors) , hks super direct flow pod. Don't know about ecu how can you tell if it has after market one can any one tell me? got a conect cable on the way will that tell me when i plug it into my laptop?

Might just have to go to some where like hypertune and get them to have a look.

oh yeah the boost controller plugs into a little box called greedy turbo data link not sure what is but think it for my boost gauge. Any ideas would be awesome!

i havnt read the whole thread, but personaly i would run 8-10 psi, because if you have the standard ecu, it will be to R&R with anymore psi, and it will feel like shit and not smooth

Yeah i don't want to over do it my mrs just rang me from the freeway and said it got a bit of a miss now? getting a bit worried!!!!!!!

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
