13.4 second 1/4 for your 'stockish' R33. (A how to guide).

95Sky - the after market BOV will add zero performance to your car.

But if it vents to air it'll help you get a defect notice :P

Stick with the stock one, if you really get keen you can try the BOV mod that is posted on these forums - do a search and you'll find it.

G'day guys,

Just wondering what the max output (kW) I can get out of my R33 GTST without opening up the engine. how much boost will the standard turbo and engine safely cope with using a front mount intercooler and 3 inch exhaust? I do like to drive hard.

The general thought on here is that you can get around 250rwkw safely without opening an RB25. With a thicker head gasket to lower compression you could probably extend this figure to around 290-300 (I have seen just over 300 from an R34 RB25, but I don't know how long it lasted).

there appears to be a "rule of thumb" that 12 psi is the peak for standard intercooler, and 14 psi is the peak for fmic on standard gtst-t ceramic turbs, in order to run with any degree of safety before something goes bang.

that said, I am running 9 psi, and many others are running a lot less than the above quoted figures. Draw from that what you will.

the difference in rwkw between 12 and 14 from gt25t seems to be very little, although there is a significant increase in torque.

expect 250-300rwhp. I cbf working out what that is in rwkw.

also, find the search button cause these sorts of questions have been asked a bazillion times before.

Went to Heathcote today and shaved half a sec off my pb with 13.8312 @ 101.50mph 60ft 2.2039.

Mods since last time are 3" front/dump pipe, pineapples, bleed valve running 0.7bar (~10psi).

I was impressed :)

Just finished reading the threads guys ,great stuff from some who really seem to know there stuff.

Just my bit on BOV I had a Turbo Smart Type 2 fitted to my R34 I could never seem to adjust it correctly and therefore the car ran like a dog.I have since removed it and gone back to the factory one and now the car runs ever so sweet.In fact it would be safe to say the car has never run so well.

on the subject about external bov's.. ( I have one and have been using them since my first turbo car) I have a few good friends with an R32 GTS-T and an R33 GTS-T. one has a blitz and the other has an HKS SQV Bov. Now I dunno if this is common with skyline's, but we have realised that their car's tend to have a habit of suddenly dying while driving normally! the car doesn't backfire, or run shit or anything.. just completely dies while driving.

is that a common issue for skyline's running a full atmo bov? cause the same thing happening to 2 guys in a row is sure as hell weird.

8thSIN - it's possible that the suddenly dying bit is caused by the BOV. Venting BOV's will cause the car to stop/die when you go on boost to off boost at lowish RPM's.

An example would be if you were accelerating at low RPM with a bit of boost, then suddenly come off the accelerator and press the clutch in. If the BOV isn't ajusted right, it will vent the air causing the mixtures to go mega rich which will cause the engine to stall. And with the clutch pressed in it hasn't got the momentum of the car to keep the engine going.

Does that make sense ??

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
