Hey guys i'm in the process of getting an r33 gtst in 3 weeks time but from all the forums that iv been reading these past week seems like almost everybody is agreeing that r33 gtst is quite slow and usually get beaten easily with evos, supras, ,wrx,dc2&dc5 and apparently even preludes so these is making me confused if im gna get it at all....some say depends on how much you put work and upgrades into it and it will reveal the guaranteed speed and power skylines are known for..... so these were the upgrades on these current r33 that im getting in 3 weeks time.

includes :

Engine : RB25DET

-Transmission : Automatic

-Turbo : High Mount T3/T4

-Intercooler : Apexi

-TurboSmart Boost Controller

-Bosch Fuel Pump

-Exhaust : Tanabe

-Body Kit : Full Veilside Body Kit

-Wheels : 18inch

Car made around 220kw on the Dyno last year

Firstly I hope your not planning to race on public roads,

Secondly AUTO ewwwww why you would want an automatic skyline is beyond me

Thirdly 220rwkws is definitely enough to beat all the cars you've listed IF they are stock

And lastly even on stock form an R33 is not going to lose to a prelude

So if your planning on racing at the track on a drag strip why would buy an auto? Half the fun of drag racing is timing the gear changes?

Also you said you want to know when to put your foot down,

so if your at the drag strip and you are up against a car that can beat you, when the lights go green are you just gonna sit there cause the other car is faster than you?

cmon guys i may be new to skyline but i aint that stupid lol....the car obviously comes with auto already and i like these car so auto or manual doesnt really bother me cuz i can always convert it later on and when i say put my foot down is basically just an expression of who i can beat because all the cars that mentioned before are my mates cars and they definitely not stock....

and its got the report from dyno that it made 220kws last year so when i get it im gna get it tuned again....and yes it has a high mount turbo and whats wrong with veilside bodykit? dont get it.....?

Seriously dude look for a manual there would be heaps out there,

Otherwise your basically buying it for looks

And I can't see any hondas unless they have

"about a hundred grand under the bonnet" lol

beating and r33 with a front mount intercooler full exhaust and a bit more boost

LMAO....do need it for looks to :]....and on regards to honda prelude my mate doesnt own it iv read it on one of the forums yesterday an r33 owner admitting he was wrong for underestimating the prelude cuz apparently it raped him.....and these iwhat the car i was thinking of getting what do u think? :]

He must have forgotten what the accelerator was

Cause my mechanic was tuning a late model prelude that has had easily over $40k spent on it (what a waste)

And with a turbo and aftermarket ecu it still only does 180kws at the front wheels,

And regards to looks I would take a stock looking r33 that was manual over a NICE looking auto one any day of the year

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
