hello guys,

i have heard that Skylines have lots of power and potential but on stock, the handling characteristics aren't anywhere near the little cars built for handling like an Integra Type R or FTO.

Guys, any suggestions to make a R33 GTS-T handle better?

Would it be to tweak the suspension setup,springs and such?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thank you in advance :)

Umm that is a really hard question to answer.

Yes a skyline is heavier than an integra type r or fto and so has a disadvantage there. But on the other hand its a very predictable, rear drive car with double wishbone suspension all around and a limited slip diff which is a pretty good starting point.

If you want great handling in a r33, check out this thread and get Gary's kit http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=85467

There is no doubt with this stuff in the car you will beat any integra or fto around a track :)

or even a BMW M3, like i did, with an otherwise stock R32 GTS-t :D

I beat your time round a skidpan tho :P

Yes you will axe me on a proper track, but its not the point!

Do what duncan says on this one dude, just dont bloody go low! That will stuff ya.

Have a look at the R33 GTST Whiteline and Bisltein suspension Group Buy thread

I think most of your questions are answered there, if not ask away and I wil do my best to answer.

:) cheers :P

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
