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.

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?

$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.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
