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 :)

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

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 :yes:




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.

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.

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

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 :)

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
