Need to sell my C33 Laurel asap as im needing the funds for my new car.

This is my very first car.

Bought as a stocker RB20E.

1989 C33 laurel

- RB25DET S2 out of a 96 R33. (ks now unknown but was put in under 100,XXX)

- 5Spd manual RB25 Box

- ISC coilovers all round

- Upgraded R33 front brakes

- One piece tail shaft

- FMIC

- 3" exhaust from dump pipe back

- GKtech Dumpipe

- Front strut brace

- Modplated for engine and transmission conversion.

- Blitz S-spec EBC

-Turbo timer (not fitted)

Bad points:

- Car has a dent in the bottom of the LHF door, got hit by a neighbour.

- Small rust spot starting to form on the LH C-pillar.

- Starter motor is starting to become sticky.

- Needs some front tyres, rears are brand new.

The car had a boost problem for ages where I couldnt boost past 2-3 psi without hesitation. Found out it was due to a ruptured fuel line from the pump to the pump cradle. Drove fine off boost so it was driven of boost for most of the time until i could figure out the problem. Runs so much better and can now see 10 psi which is what it is set too.

Car hasn't been drifted or done burnouts, NO LSD.

The 25 is healthy as still no leaks or knocks

    • I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
    • Yeah you can. Cable tie the gauge to a windscreen wiper, or run it into the car and hold it with one hand, or have the neighbour's kid run alongside and tell you what it says.
    • I've never understood why this bothers people. Surely you'd be looking at a T3 flanged Garrett style thing, rather than a TD? You're unlikely to push a +T hard enough to need that much fuel. If you're not starting with most of the things you need to do that (ie, the bloody ECU!), you're better off just going Haltech/Link. You wil hate life a lot less. No. Just no. Just turbo it as is.
    • Have you noticed if the squeak changes with temperature or after driving in the rain?
    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks
