Turbo lol. Ive gone with a rb26dett for the 33 gtst. Cbf for the head aches of having someone elses thrashed motor lol. Ill see what i hit on the dyno and post pics here. Thanks for all the help guys 

Umm yeah, that's like saying you hate guns then buying an AK-47.

Boggles my mind how people think the 26 is much of an upgrade over the 25. Older engine design with more flaws; GTR taxed parts and less availability; more prone to catastrophic failure...all for a negligible increase in displacement and a different soundtrack.

Don't forget them all being thrashed.

At least the RB25DET has a better chance of being less thrashed, especially if it's from an auto car (e.g. Stagea).

And that the newest engine you'll get is already 15 years old, a lot if people dont even realise that some of our favourite cars like the r32 gtr are already 27 ish years old!!!

God damn dinosaurs

Constantly trips me out that my R33 daily is older now than VH Commodores were when I first got my licence...I thought VNs were old shitters back then lol (they were)

  • 2 weeks later...

Car is running perfect now. No issues st all besides having stock power. Have had a long think about it and came to the thought of just keeping the car stock and healthy. Also i have decided i would like to get a s15, evo7, and/or supra for a weekend car and keep the skyline as my daily. 

This might sound stupid but if your burning through lots of oil check your PCV valve is working correctly

I’ve recently gone through a similar exercise with my Dads landcruiser which was using about a litre per 1000km

It’s done 305,000kms so we thought it was just worn rings. However I decided to pull out the PCV valve to check it, and it was stuck open. The vacuum hose going to it had split, so it didn’t have enough vacuum to open and close it and it got stuck

Cleaned it out with some solvent, put a new hose on and it’s using bugger all oil now, running sweet

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
