Hey there guys,

Just wanted advice on performance on a r33 gtst 4 door automatic that i have just brought.

What the car has:

rb25det engine 230,000 km's

3inch turbo back.

Cold Air intake. (K&N pod with heat shield)

Yellow top Coils.

Hybrid frount mount intercooler.

Solenid been removed.

All done by previous owner.

took out the back (private) road on the gtech. ran 0-100km/h 6.1secs and 1/4 mile in 14.3secs @ 159km/h

almost stock times for a automatic from the research i have done.

What i have done so far is installed a turbosmart boost tee turned up half a turn and install a boost gauge.

I haven't had a chance to re gtech it but feels a tad quicker.

Just need some advice on what to do next, without changing turbo etc.

Walbro fuel pump? - heard they run quiest and are a direct replacement without rewiring.

ecu? - read or heard you need to put a r32 or r34 ecu in to be able to tune it. looking at nistune.

What my goal is, is to be able to alteast run into the mid 13's and atleast keep up with my modded Ford XR6T.

this car my have some history on here and someone on the forums may have owned it, the previous owner gave me the bullshit story the old

owner was a girl that never drove it hard.

The reason that i say this is the passanger side front door has been buffed but i can still faintly see a skylines australia sticker that was on the car.

the car is a 1993 r33gts25t silver with r34 wheels on it.

Thanks in advance.

Is your car an Auto? Is see mention of Auto times there.

a Z32 300ZX or R32 Rb20 ECU + Rpm window switch for NVCS is what you need for Nistune/

Mid 13's is possible on sticky tyres and the standard turbo with a tune

I ran a 13.9 with a crap 2.1sec 60ft in my 33 coupe back in the day, I had a front mount, PowerFC and a 3" front pipe back exhaust

Yes it's a automatic. I'm actually surprised that it's hard to achieve good times with lots of work to these cars, never been a skyline fan

but the car was cheap at 3k so i had to have it, and loving the handling of it compared to my XR6T.

I know the falcon is 4L but intercooler, CAI, injectors, pump and tune can see 380rwkw for a much heavier car jumps into the 12s easy.

I think i need to move away from comparing em.

oh reary? Do you know of anyone who's able to tune standard r33 auto ecus in sa? otherwise it'll be an auto z32 tune for me

Only me in Australia but its not difficult.(very popular in Japan)

Just need tools.

Tools is R33 ecu daughter board (made in Japan), emulator , programmer, programmer adapter , chip and Nistune software.

Z32 R32 ECU can not use R33 auto.

Z32 R32 ECU can not use R33 auto.

I'm in Adelaide, so to change the daughter board and dyno tune it would be $580? so all i'll need is to get a bigger fuel pump. might be worth the drive to you to get it done.

Also with the turbo internals, I have 1993 i assume it's a series 1 do they have the ceramic fins or metal ones?

Edited by tacticz

$580 is just basic dyno tune.

If you would like to full tune (road and dyno both tune) $700.

If you or me find 3 people in SA I can come to you.

Series 1 turbo is ceramic and metal.

Series 2 turbo is ceramic and plastic.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
