hi guys just sold my sil and is now looking for a ECR33 gtst i just have a few questions before buying one....

1. i hate the series 1 wing and was wondering how easy it was to aquire a s2 wing and swap.. is it a straight swap????

2. does the 4ws effect yhe handling in a negative way?

how is the cheapest/easiest way to lock it?

3. except from exterior styling what is the main differences between series1 and 2

any help is welcome and i hope to be a skyline owner soon :)

1. Not sure if this would be a straight swap...the mounting holes may be different.

2. HICAS is fine for road use, but can slow you down on lap times at the track. Cheapest way is to buy a lock bar.

3. Series 2 came with ABS and drivers airbag. I think the front seats are also different. Different ECU and ignition system. Not sure what else.

I have been umming and ahhing about selling My R33 to move over to a stagea and I think I could be persuaded to part with mine... I am looking for around 20k .... again not a stock R33 its got a few goodies and has 300rwhp...

So yeah let us know cause you could quite possible pick up a gem of a car here... the advantage you have here is that most of our cars are well known around here :)

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
