hi all found this site and couldnt resist

bought a import r33 gtst

i got it really cheap as the there was a shit load of parts missing from interior but finnally got that sorted

i got plenty of questions for nsw sydney people on like places to go to find mo info on wat parts are in my engine and things so that help would be appreciated.

attached photos of how she is now

from my research i know it has a bigger turbo than standard

has a front mount intercooler

i installed volt guage and didgital boost guage and greddy turbo timer.

firrst question may sound dumb but i feel its under powered and spludders around 4500rpm and if i go past 1/4 throttle

i am led to my investigation its due to intercooler and bigger turbo intsalled by previous owner and if it this do i need a aftermarkt ecu or just a nistune ecu

thanks for reading if u actually do hahha

you coulkd be right. however id be checking your coilpacks. 4.5k is where they notoriously break down. if your modding go a full set of splitfires or brand new nissan ones. also if it does have a bigger turbo but standard ecu it would drive like shit... and i mean shiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

First off, congrats.

Second, this is the place for all information.

Third, did you get a comp test done? Change the spark plugs and gap them to 0.8mm. See if that makes any diffence. Then take your car to a tuner and get the nistune that you suggested. It will do fine.

Is your car running more than 10psi? Or is it at 7psi?

Best thing would be to just throw it on a dyno and see what is going on with it.

Thanks for the replies yeah I know about the notorious flat spot but its wierd cause even if I go slow it does and worse if I punch it past

well on my boost guage it goes to 10 plus psi and shits itself real bad at 11psi

I have done plugs and gapped them coil packs are fine I think

Head over to Adaptronic too. Have a look at the Select range of ECUs.

Direct plug and play, no need to cut or mod anything to fit the ECU.

awesome thanks they look the good but dont have 1500 bucks right now just for a computer kinda need to do the cheaper thing until my other car sells hahah

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
