A few problems with my new Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T


Recommended Posts

Hey,

I just bought a Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T yesterday. So far everything is good and no major worries. (I'm a P Plater)

The only minor problem I have found has something to do with the turbo timer...?

When I turn it on, for lets say 1 min or 30 seconds, when I Lock the door, after the car turns off, the alarm goes off? I have no idea why...

This only seems to happen when I Lock the car, if i just leave it unlocked the alarm does not go off, and the car turns off normally.

Anyone know why?

Any suggestions would be nice!

And Also, is it best to use Premium petrol (i.e BP Ultimate?) Or is regular unleaded fine?

Thanks :)

To be honest, if you can get it, stick to Premium 98 :-) The car's most probably been tuned/setup for premium, and if it was tuned in Japan, then it'll be for 100-102 RON fuel.... (as mine is) - You may get detonation etc, if the fuel mix leans out too far........

Ala Alarm - If the alarm's arming when the doors are locked, when the engine stops, you'll get a voltage drop, which the alarm could think is a door opening etc....

You might want to look into making sure the alarm doesn't arm until the turbo timer's finished.

Edit : Depending on your battery's condition, the drop may be quite substantial......

    • This is the part I was unprepared for. I mean, thinking about it now, the first day I collected my car from the importer someone posted a photo of it on the highway to an online JDM page which my friend then sent me. I drove straight to the office to pick up some things and was immediately swarmed by about ten college kids -  "how much power" "why no wing" etc. The next couple times I went out I didn't really notice anything, there was a "why no wing" at a service area at some point. Then during the fourth time out driving at the Nurburgring I got the "do a drift" - the bastard cut it out in this clip. The title in itself is a red flag. As you may have guessed, I am not a fan of the attention. This leads me to wondering what to do with the car in the future; I'll see how this year goes and it may be garaged, which it mostly is already, or maybe even sent back to Japan  to also be garaged and driven occasionally on visits. Fortunately my daily is as interesting as drying paint.   
    • I couldn't get this to work right, New clean IACV, coolant seems to flow and solenoid functions, but again as soon as I plug it in the idle raises, I ran the car for a good 1/2 hour messing around with various things it, no vac leaks. At one point with the IACV plugged in I was able with the adjustment in the side of IACV turned all the way in get it idle down a little to around 1000, but no lower, and it would surge, I unplugged the IACV engine rpms drop to about 350, turned the adjustment about 3 turns in , set idle to around 800 rpms' and it idles smooth. I set the idle stop screw abut the same so it cant drop below under load. the engine starts, restarts, with no load or with a load seems to run fine. I will have to leave it like this for now as I cant get it to function correctly with the IACV plugged in. One other thing I discovered that might be the reason for some of the issues, the engine in the car is a RB25det neo from a Stagea along with the Stagea ECU. so alot of wiring, plumbing etc that is typically there in a R34 is not. 
    • Hi all, Trying to seek some assistance with my issue. I'm currently doing a complete overhaul of my suspension / driveline, on my r33 gtr and have completed stripped down the front assembly. I had purchased a new pair of front knuckles (the painted silver ones in the pictured) They were advertised by the shop aswell as other retailers online to be compatible with the entire 4wd R chassis, however when trying to fit the new pair, they don't line up with the ball joints (from the lower control arm) and the steering tie rod.  The other knuckle pictured is what came off the car, everything fits up to it perfectly, however I've been unable to figure what variant they are from originally.
    • What would be the best off set on 18" rims for these settings
