Hi Everyone,

I am in the process of buying a R33 S1 or S2 and I am told different power figures that a stock R33 would have. I know that they have 187Kw at the fly and supposedly they lose 18% through the drivetrain which means they should be making 153rwKW.

Then again, some say they have about 120-130rwKW.

If anyone could shed some light on this matter it would be most appreciated as I do not want to buy a lemon....lol

Thanks Heaps.

I think the losses run closer to 30% so 120-130 rwkw sounds about right.

Thanks alot, B0oStEr, for the info.

Other, views or personal testemonies (ie. dyno results) will be very helpfull and most appreciated.

I think our first result was 148kw with with aftermarket panel filter and 3 inch exhaust.

The 120-130 ish does seem about it standard.

What type of exhaust and was it a full/cat-back? On what, if any, boost and what type of boost contoller?

thanks heaps.

Nabil,

Now you have jogged the memory a bit (getting old you see).

The exhaust was custom from dump pipe back and I think we had the bleed valve then at about 10 pounds.

*edit* No exhaust as posted below

OK. I have been corrected by my Wife.

When we got 148kw it was with the stock exhaust.

We did have the panel filter and more boost.

It was on a dyno day using shootout mode on a dyno dynamics.

G'day el bee....nothin like confirming things with the good wife.....its amazing what they remember (anniversaries,power outputs etc). See you at WSID next Sunday....hope to meet and say g'day.

Gday Paul, yes it is amazing what they do remember.

My Wife is the oricle of all things memory, especially to do with our Skyline, in this household.

The good thing is she does know "shit from clay" as they say.

I'll see you Sunday. Unfortunately Genelle won't make it this year.

Enjoy!

ps. Increasing boost does increase power for sure but you can go too far and easily get into the "rich and retard zone" with the stock ECU.

Have done this before. And last time on a dyno the guy turned the boost down from 14 to 10 and got rid of an ugly dip in power where the ECU was having kittens.

Will have to get an aftermarket ECU very soon. (not before drag day unfortunately)

I thought that the Japanese giants all agreed to limit at 140kw? that is why it is soo easy to get more outa these beasties they're just detuned (small air in small exhaust out) to a limit to meet certain standards.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
