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 :(;)

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
