Howdi!

I have a couple of questions.

What is the size of a stock R33 GTST turbo?

What good would a GT28 roller bearing turbo be on a R33 GTST?

Also, if you run the above turbo without an intercooler, what are the side effects?

Your help would be much appreciated... I have been having a heated discussion with someone regarding this topic.

Thanks.

Erica.

RB25 runs a T3... swap commonly done to r32s or rb20/ca18 in general...

GT28 and T28 are totally different btw... GT28 is a fair wack bigger...

GT28 should spool up ok - it wont spool as quick as the standard T3... but prolly 300rpm after or so?

GT28 without front mount would be pushing it thats for sure - especially with summer coming up it would ping badly

reminder - coolers do drop inlet temps down... but they are worse for engine temps as they block the rad air flow a bit - aftermarket radiators this summer peoples!

When are you getting the 33? Will it be white again?

If I have my pick I will go for the silver one with nismo wheel on it...hint...hint :D

Hey dude...

I spoke to John about it, he isn't firmiliar with GTSTs as he is with GTRs. Thats ok though. yeah those nismo rims are totally tuff.

I was thinking about getting an 33 and totally love my skylines, but I've decided on something of german quality and style, its just easier, maybe next year I'll get another skyline.

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Speed Sensor replacement

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.

      Speed Sensor replacement

      By R33_Guy · Posted

      Hey all. I’m looking on replacing my speed sensor on my R33 GTR. Will the center differential need to be drained, and if so, the center diff uses ATF fluid D? I found information on the transmission, front diff and rear diff. Can’t find a for sure answer for the center diff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
