Hi guys, my name is Levi,ive had many cars over the years , many sr20's, v8s,supercharged and turbos with decent power, I recently sold my Evo 7 and made me realise i really want to go on the hunt for more power again, I figured a 33 platform would be a perfect base as they are relatively cheap, and a good base, originally i was planning to just throw on a bigger turbo, ecu etc, But a full rb25/30 setup came up for sale and i jumped at it. Car will be a weekender which i can take to the track every now and then and thrash around, Keeping the outside pretty standard as i think the series 2 looks pretty good for a boat.

Owner:Levi

Car: Silver R33 gtst series 2 w/ sunroof

Motor: Currently standard 25det with exhaust and fmic

Rb25/30 setup consists of: 25top end, series 2 rb30 A6 bottom end, HKS drop in cams- 256/264, arp head studs, bearings etc, GT3076 hi mounted with tial 38mm external gate and screamer pipe, Freddy manifold with 300zx 100mm TB, top feed fuel rail with xr6t injectors apparently . All powered by a Haltech platinum pro with rev limiter set at 6500 on 14psi it made 280kws on pump in the drift car i bought it out of.

Plans for the motor: Brand new gaskets throughout, clean absolutely everything, polish manifold, wrinkle black the manifold, turbo beanie etc, just make everything look neat and tidy, retune, i havent decided if i want e85 or keep it pump as i want to still be able to drive the thing and E85 is a bit of a headache.Car is ridiculously responsive which is perfect for a streeter so we will see how it all goes, motor and box should be in my car within the next couple of weeks!

Box: rb25 box with ORC twin plate clutch.

Suspension, old HKS coilovers, factory arms etc lol.

My old motor and box with 130xxxkms on it still running standard boost and mint gearbox with exedy cushion button clutch is also up for sale , and available within the next week or so!, I look forward to speaking with you all soon, Thanks for reading!

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
