I thought all the automatic r33s got 4 speed gear box, but when I listen to my car, its voice drops 4 times after it lauches, I mean I can hear it changing gears four times after when it accelerates from the 1st gear, which means there should be 5 gears in it!! Is there really any 5 speed automatic gear box exist for r33? or my gear box is just wierd? or it changes 4 times just mean it's 4 speed?...

Can any expert give an answer...

there is a 5 speed auto option. however the 4 speed runs a lock up torque converter which will make it sound like it is changing gears 4 times. my 4sp auto VT commodore does it. the torque converter will lock in in 3rd gear, which sounds like a 3rd gear change and then it will change into 4th

AFAIK there was a 5 speed auto available on NA R33s, . . but not many, the code for the auto/engine/rear axle assembly will be on the factory plate on the firewall . . .take a look

Sounds like the lock-up to me. Same thing with my 32 gts-t. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, overdrive, Lock-up. You'll note the lock-up only moves the revs down slightly, also once it is engaged it drives like a manual so when you load it up the revs don't immediately change. You can tell the 4th change is overdrive by turning it off, that will also stop the lock-up.

R33 2.5 na had the option for a 5 speed auto.

Only on the Type S, Easiest thing to do, jump into the VINS you want fasted thread and it will tell you if you have a 4sp or a 5sp.

there is a thread regarding type s 33s on here just search for it, if your car is a type s the model number will read E-ECR33 insteadof ER33 (I think) just search for it.

also type s has, LSD, rear sway bar, 5 speed,and rear wiper factory AFAIK

There's a few different variants from what I've found. For instance mine had turbo brakes, rear wiper, 4speed and no rear swaybar and is an er33 but in fast comes up as GTS25/S

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
