R33 Burnout Comp

[beltdriven31]

Hey guys n gals ...

Recently purchased a series 1 r33 gtst in regional WA off a guy who had attempted to fix it but made an absolute mess if it. Purchased for 2200 not running - spent 1500, running. Lol

So it's unregistered still and there is a burnout comp on Saturday night in the middle of the speedway ring on a brand new concrete pad.

I still haven't fitted the front bar n headlights I purchased and am gunna leave them off. I've got a fresh set of stockies on steelies and have changed the oil and filter. Coolant is good and I don't wanna touch it as it has no air locks and why mess with something what's not broken or f**ked.

Apart from a cannon exhaust the car is completely stock, any tips from any one with burnout comp experience with r33 rb25det.... Oh it's a manual aswell I forgot to mention that.

Thanks

Be prepared to kill the car.

Turbos create a lot of heat. That's bad in a burnout comp.

i thought this would have been a common sight on falcodore forums.... but sau?

1.install a water temp gauge as the stock ones are fair shit and laggy, add 500ml more oil

2. skip burnout comp and find an event to go drifting at

Listen out for pinging also.

1- totally prepared to kill it, it's just a bit if fun seriously

2- dan ... Yes I agree with you, but like I said it's all just a bit of fun seriously it's where I work in the middle of the pilbra it's not a serious car if mine, drift events are a joy of mine back over east.

3- all I'm really after is any little tips that aren't completly obvious. - adding oil had slipped my mind tho so thank you

You have a high chance of the engine, or at least turbo going bang. I'd put money on the turbo going before the engine, especially if it's the stock turbo. The ceramic wheels on them don't like excessive heat, and in a burnout comp it will get red hot (it will literally be glowing).

But if you're prepared to kill it then why ask for tips? Just go out, keep your right foot to the floor until either the tyres out engine go bang. Just start in second gear to get as much smoke as possible and you're set

4k just to blow it up doing shitty burnouts in a burnout comp....what a waste...

anyway the stock RB doesn't hold up well to burnouts....

head design means all the oil floods the head and cant drain back quick enough..you starve your bearings in the bottom end and boom....its dead...

As well as that they dont really do a great burnout with stock power anyway and I'd honestly say find something better to do with it...like race or drift..

you want burnouts buy an old JZ soarer or a busted Ls1

Mang till ya bang!

Put a decent sized (600CCA) battery in it, if you don't, you might run out of spark, if it lasts that long!!! Wire the A/C thermo fan up to a switch. Hit the switch just before you start the burnout!

Take the bonnet off, & if you can (I know you don't want to do this, but there are plenty of correct bleeding threads on here) remove the thermostat for more flow.

Actually, You should PM buddy.duncanson & his alter ego, budskin1. He is an R33 GTST burnout master! His doesn't overheat, regardless of what his temp gauge says! Ask Superben, He knows the guy too! LOL! (sorry Ben!?!)

if it has the stock dump pipe off the turbo its going to go boom. also likely if it has a stock cat (just because it has a connon doesn't mean the rest of the exhaust was upgraded).

if it has any of this do it a huge favour and get a 3" dump pipe for the even and remove the rest of the exhaust.

Also remove the bonnet and heat shield off the turbo if possible.

if it is running the stock computer you might find she will take it without too much trouble as its a pretty soft 'tune' and has knock and temp protection.

if its a tuned vehicle, particularly nistune (no knock detection/protection), then it is going to get hurt more.

As for in the skid, try not to just have it bouncing off the limiter. 4-6k in second gear is the sweet spot for an Rb25 burnout

Do take video. everyone loves a skid whether they will admit it or not. And kudos to you for doing it in a legal and responsible place. Go hard mate.

Nistune still has the exact same knock strategy as the stock ecu.

Not sure where you got your info from, you don't lose knock prevention with Nistune.

Taking the turbo heat shield off will cook wiring.

[jjman]

haha, have you or anybody you know actually got a tune to work properly with nistune + knock detection on an r33?

often it is pitched as having the same benefits as a stock ecu + systems but it is one of its many faults and problems...

heat shield off + bonnet off wont cook wiring unless the wiring that is running thru there is loose. I certainly wouldn't recommend it for permanent use + bonnet on.

Ok. Forgot this is on an r33, which nistune don't directly support.

What does the power fc do about knock? Flash a light?

Seeing as you mentioned it, rather than leave it simply implying there are other issues would you care to explain the other nistune shortcomings? No vct switching when used on a 33 , again not actually using the correct ecu on the car and easily worked around.

Anyway, I want skid vids.

[L33SH]

good luck at the comp...

[jjman]

yeah power fc flashes a light. so at least its something. also it logs the knock levels/events from memory

have a look on some other threads on the nistune stuff as its a can of worms and a complex issue so don't want to hijack this thread with it. it also of course depends on whether you use a z32 (incompatibility issues) or r32 (no vct etc) ecu for the purpose.

I hope you have some cheap chinese tyres for the skids so they squeal nice n loud n also don't last too long. be nice to get several skidz out of the R33

Im halfway between 'aww poor car' and 'go hard till the tyres pop and continue till you hear a louder bang'

[jjman]
