You get to talk to all sorts of strange people when seaching for a car the best one I heard today was from a kid that sounded like he was 18 yrs old (sorry this is not meant to offend our readers) anyway with my enquiry into his R33 which sounds like it is stock with no mods on it at all he claimed that the car which he has never taken to the motorplex and has never raced can do a low 13 or even a mid 12 second pass so I thought I would ask more power questions to our obviously intellegent friend, I asked how much power has it at the wheels he guesstimated about 300hp at the wheels, on further enquiries I find that the car is running only 5psi (I am a novice here but I thought that they come from the factory with 7psi) it has no filter no I/C....

Is it because I am a female that they think I am stupid.... or too embarrassed to admit that they don' know - just be nice if people could be honest - I understand honest - nearly everyone I spoke to all people who had cars for sale had never raced there cars and I was enquiring into some fairly modified cars

ROFL, stock 5psi and running 12second ahahah that is classic

i might be becuase your female, and they think you no nothing but most likly its cuz they know nothing and watch too much TFATF, i know a few people with import cars that think the only differences between a gtr and a gtst is the rb26 :rofl:

keep looking, im sure you will find something :)

i loved it when i asked a friend why their POD was packed with carpet off cuts whats it meant to do? he told me i was silly and it was to help his NOS flow better because there were bigger gaps in the carpet pieces....

i couldnt help but wonder if he was serious?

well I have not found too much which is a surprise as a few of my friends have said to get a different kind of car as there are too many skylines around and they are common now - not sure if there could ever be enough skylines around to make them as common as a commodore or falcon.... there have been maybe 2 cars that have caught my attention but if I had to really narrow it down I would have to say that Steve's car sounds very interesting, I am however looking at 2 cars on friday both are 1995 and have done similar klms but 1 is auto which the dealer says that it is very quick for an auto ( I do trust this guy we have bought cars from him before ) and the other is a manual which was once a auto ? both are a grade 4

so will take both for a drive and see what is what

I phoned the gentleman in Rockingham and the car is sold :P

I don't care really if they have raced the car because the motors in these cars are very tough and are almost a detuned version of what they could be... but again it depends on the mods that have been done a stock skyline that has been raced is a fairly good car to buy but a fully worked beasty that is running 18psi all day is going to give me a small hesitation

The rb25 has a solenoid as standard. before a certain amount of rpm (~4500rpm) the boost is kept to 5psi and after 4500 rpm it goes to 7psi. if u have a bleed valve installed (and fully closed off) you will bypass the solenoid therefore keeping the boost at 5psi. i also thought the wastegate spring was a 7psi spring but its not. im pretty sure its a 5psi spring, the solenoid bleeds off some air after ~4500rpm to reach 7psi. i thought there was something wrong with my car when it was only running at 5psi then i found out what the story was. if u dont believe me do a search....

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
