Hey Everyone,

My name is Emily & I am new to the forum and new to Skylines! I just sold my JDM GT-Four Celica and purchased a mint condition R33 Series 2 rb25dt. So different but so much easier than the constant wiring/detonation/everything issues that the 3sgte engine offers! Still plan on getting a group a rallye in the future but for now I am really enjoying the Skyline!

My new car has a couple of decent mods such as cusco front and rear strut bars, full performance exhaust system, upgraded racing brakes, professionally lowered suspension, aftermarket tail lights, full auto turbo timer, boost and oil gauges, nice dark tint, new silicon hoses, coils and iridium spark plugs.

I want to install my HKS electronic boost controller, lower the back a bit more and get a front mount happening soon oh and some enkei's when can afford!

Anyway, ill keep it short! Here are a couple of pics.

Thanks Joey! Yeah I wasn't expecting it to look as good as it did when I rocked up, went cheaper as has a blown exhaust manifold which I am half way through now then will focus on more mods

Thanks!

Actually ended up being the turbo to manifold gasket but there are 3 studs snapped off in the head :(

that sucks.

I had those gaskets gone when I bought my car.

but, once replaced, so nice and quiet.

I didnt have snapped studs though.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
