I think we need to just confirm a few things about the R33 non-turbo skylines. Firstly not all R33's were turbo, they came with RB25DE engines.

They may not be turbo but they can hold their own, I went 1 and 0 off the line over 200m 'I think' against R32 GTS-T, so they have plenty of power. Plus they look good done up, WITHOUT being rice!!!

Man you guys were ripped off something shocking!!! My I'm obviously in Tas and I brought mine from the mainland, Vic. It was in perfect condition..one or two spots on the paint, 58K's on the clock (its true k's) stock standard 100% and I picked it up very cheap indeed. $9500.

If you want to get a value on them at the moment go to http://www.carsguide.com.au and value the car. A R33 GTS is worth between about $10 to 13000. That's the average national private sales price anyway. If they really want to sell their car they wont say no to an offer anywhere up to about $2000 less than what they are asking. GTS's are harder to sell then turbos, 'sometimes' so make sure your getting it for the bvest price possible!!

Read back further in the thread - there are 2.0L SOHC NA R33's (GTS spec) - 100kw of pure power as well....... The GTS25's are not bad, but the GTS's on the other hand....

Hey Ant, what's the go with this type S 140/147kws? how does that valve mechanism add the 7 kws? Obviously something to do with the exhaust but how does it work exactly?

There is a valve in the (standard) 2nd exhaust outlet that opens above 4000rpm (not sure on that value - just what I've heard). Essentially frees up the exhaust a bit. Not sure if that accounts for all of the extra 7kw - the ECU mapping may be slightly different as well?

Yeh mine has one of those.

it makes this sik sound when it does open at bout 5000rpm .

and usually when i pull out of the drive way and take of on the street it does as well.

By revin it 2much wears the engine faster. i dont need that cause my clutch is stuffed and im on the way to buying one of them real soon.

I don't know exactly how much RPM i reach when i get out of my drive way.

i dont want 2 f**k the cltuch up.

My freind just brought a corolla. (lol. 4 cylinder)

EY

I AM ABOUT 2 SELL MY DIRT BIKE FOR $3700 AND I AM PLANING ON SPENDING $1200 ROUGLY ON SOME WHITE POWDER COATED RIMS, AND GETING THE CAR FULLY RESPRAYED OVER . WHITE(SAME COLOUR IT CAME WITH BUT CAR IS MISSING PAINT) WHICH MY MECHANIC TOLD ME WILL COST ME ROUGLY $2000 2 GET THE WHOLE CAR RESPRAYED.

I SHOULD STILL HAVE SOME LEFT OVER BANK AND WITH THIS MY CLUTCH IS NEARLY f**kED THANKS 2 THE ASIAN WHO HAD DRIVEN IT B4 ME.

THAT GONNA COST ME $700 BROUGHT AND FITTED.

AND THAT SHOULD B ALL I NEED FOR NOW OTHER THAN A EXHAUST SYSTEM.:D

BUT THAT CAN WAIT:p

Ey

I've been in the market 4 an exhaust system fitted.

Although i havetrouble finding them my freind has a 67 mini.

ive seen the price for the exhaust systems being sold for the 67' minis and it seems that the older the model the cheaper the price.

the systems i've seen at autobarn for Skylines seem to be costing me between $1000- $2000 g.

why is this so?

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
