I'm 16 and have always been a skyline enthusiast.

i had been telling my dad that the skyline is the car for me, but he did not approve because they come stock turbo. :werd:

Recently my dad's freind knew of this guy that imports cars from japan to Australia and recently brought one in.

For a price of 14,000 my dad and i went to check it out.

when we got there we popd the hood then had a look at the registration.

it said " Nissan Skyline r33.:"

it is not turbo and i cannot find if its a gts, or whatever. all it has is a gt at the sides and an "s" at the front.

its a twin cam 24 valve non turbo skyline.

to me, ive never heard of just a Nissan skyline r33.

its a 1995 model.

ive never heard of just a nissan skyline r33 gt

please give your thourghts on what it is? :confused:

it may not have turbo but i blown away by the amount of take of acceleration it has.

cheers

FLYR33

check the blue plate in the back left hand corner. a non turbo will say where the engine is RB25DE. a turbo will say RB25DET. Thats how you can tell, if not check the in side dash, if it has a built in boost guage where the rpm tacho is.

these are just some ways that you can tell

Take care it isn't a GTS, those have the SOHC 2.0L engine - will have for the engine designation RB20E on the firewall plate if it is. They are 'somewhat' underpowered....

Most likely it is a GTS25, as mentioned that will have RB25DE on the firewall plate. 200HP from the NA 2.5 means they are fairly quick.....

ok the plate is on the firewall most usually on the left side.

the firewall is at the back of the engine, the wall that seperates the engine from the cabin.

NA means Naturally Aspirated, which means non-turbo.

Hope that clears up some confusion

I've got a Rb20E mate and theyre not that bad, good car to learn on, still pisses on lancers and shit like that, so i wouldnt worry too much if thats what it is, rb25's are good motors, and by the sounds of the 24valve it sounds like one!

Goodluck, and lets hope its a good car!

It should also say on the compliance plate which is a green plate mines on top of the strut tower, and it'll say what make it is and who its complianced by and the date!

That's left hand side as you look from the front of the car toward the back of the engine bay. Just to the left of the brake master cylinder.

24 valve - yup, that would indicate a RB25DE (GTS25) as I think the RB20E (GTS) is 12 valve due to the SOHC head?

Dayne - yup, GTS's are still better than a lot of cars out there! Just be sure that you don't pay a premium for one. In NZ the GTSs are significantly cheaper (and thus far more common) than the GTS25s.

The GT badge on the side of the car has nothing to do with the cars motor. It is just the famous GT badge associated with Skylines.

In the R33 range as said earlier:

GTS = 2lt Non turbo.

GTS25 = 2.5lt Non turbo

GTS25T = 2.5lt Single turbo

GTS4 = 2.5lt Single turbo or NA + 4wd

GTR = 2.6lt Twin Turbo 4wd

All very good cars. Not a fan of non turbo Skylines though as I think it defeats the point.

I know that coment will cause some tension. i might just run and hide under my turbo...

Got mine at a good price anyways:) considering upgrading to RB20det in it this holidays though.. or 25DE

thats like saying getting a standard commodore without a supercharger defeats the point.

I have never heard of an R33 GTS4 Turbo, all the 33 GTS4's I've seen have been NA

The only other single turbo GTS4 I've seen is an R32 GTS4.

and before someone makes a smart arsed comment, GTR's with single turbo conversions dont count :(;)

    • 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.
