Hi All,

Just to give you a run down, i have been using this forum for a little while just reading posts etc, but i finally found the skyline i wanted and i have something to talk about, i use to own a R33 Series 1 93' non-turbo and sold that but I just bought myself an R33 Series 2 Turbo in black well i think it is, its a 95 model on the compliance plates, but it has Dual Airbags, and looks like a Series 2, apart from no ABS feature tho, but interior etc etc looks like a Series 2, I think it is a 96' but they stuffed up the compliance??, but apart from that, i have to ask if this is normal, i have been searching around for some answers but nothing really, i know that the stock boost guage is crap but as soon as i start the car up the guage goes upto -3.5 or near there and stays there is this normal? all ive got is an 3" Exhaust Cat Back, and when its boosting hits about +3.5, i know this is not in PSI but any help would be appreicated, ill post some pictures up soon!

Thanks!

You could have a Series 1.5 there. do a search on this site and you will find out.

Your boost guage sounds about normal for a stocker. Ihat guage reads in some stupid units like "Hundreds of millimeters of mercury" Buy a real boost guage before you start doing anything to up the boost.

The stocker is a shocker!

Best mod you can do is to get a short piece of pipe and pull the two hoses off the boost control solenoid (just behind the air filter) and join the two hoses together. Gets rid of the Two stage boost and will give you about 7 or 8 PSI all the time. (That's about the limit you want to go to with stock intercooler but)

Really makes a difference. It's the best free horsepower you will ever get.

Hey,

Thanks for that, clear's up some of my concerns, im going to have to flush out the radiator on the car tho, it seems no one put any coolant in, or they did but they haven't changed it, its not too bad but looking like its getting abit rusty, hopefully it anit damaged or anything, i went and took a quick pic of the car also, so you can have a look, also i have an "Advanced Turbo Timer" i noticed it does not disable when i put the hand break down, i thought these things were meant to turn off so no one steals your car? that true?

Thanks

Yeh, thats what i thought too might be a late '95 eitherway, i just flushed the radiator 50/50 contains Ethylene Glycol 1060 grams per litre and mixed in demineralised water it seems to have only taken about 5 to 6 litres! thought it took something like 8.5 litres, i opened the bleed valve to allow all the air out of the system etc, also changed the oil the Mobil 10W-40 Synth S, so will see how we go, the only other problem i have is i think the Coil Packs or Spark Plugs require replacing as it seems the car is misfiring or when i try start it seems to struggle abit and turn off, then the next go its fine, this happend before the changeover of oil/coolant etc..

Very nice looking car, gotta love that front lip as well, don't see many getting around with that (at least, i don't in Canberra). Series II's look best in black, though my opinion may be slightly biased!

Have fun with her mate!

Noice, Noice.

Yeah, I got me a '95 plated Series II GTS-T too. Dual airbags, no ABS. (white with GTR rear wing). I got it checked out by the guys in the FAST thread - all seems 100% legit.

All the ABS R33's I drove had soggy, vague brake pedals, anyway - so I'm pretty stoked to have a non-ABS car ! ! !

I had my mod-list finalised a week after bought my new toy. Now I've chosen all my brands, specs etc except for switchable boost-control. any ideas?- just gotta sell my old car and I can order it all in from Japan - JOY ! !

Hi There,

I am planning to buy a Skyline. I never had a performance car so don’t have much idea about it. I am getting the following configuration

NISSAN SKYLINE GT ST AUTOMATIC R33, SERIES 1, TURBO

No of Cylinders: 6

Year: 1994

Speedo Reading: 60000 km

My search raised some question about the vehicle (which i am posting here) … It will be great if some can guide me ….

1. How good is the configuration of a beginner

2. How genuine is the configuration

3. Any drawbacks in the model

4. What price should it be...

Or if any one can direct me to ifo bank for this particular model..

cheers

raj

Drawbacks? Well you need deep pockets to run them when something goes wrong :P

Seriously, take a look at this thread about purchasing a Skyline. Gives you some good info that will help you out.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
