just after inforamtion on the rb25de..

would like to get some information on the 33 gts? I will be upgrading from a xf fairmont..

What is the rb25de like on fuel? would the fuel be anywhere near a vx Commo s pack would it be anything near what that uses. newest 6 i have drivin and no what the consumption is..

did a little search and came up with

How many k's to a tank? is around 450km about right?

What are parts going to be like for the car. still dont know this one

Being a non turbo what will insurance be like do they still ask for a bucket load for a non turbo. not sure on this one

Performance wise how would it go compared to the Vx s pack?.

What would the avg 0 - 100 1/4 time be? i found around the 8 second mark? and a low to mid 15 1/4?

any other genral info would be much apreciated

Also am after a non turbo just i can get into the turbo scene and not payout my arse hole with insruance.

I picked my r33 GTS up last week and it's bloody nice :O

( I haven't driven a turbo'd car before with 15psi or what ever it is that people classify as fast) but, it still goes very nicely..

Fuelwise, I'd say it's pretty good.. but the fuel tank is kinda small so that might make you think you're blowing quite a bit of fuel..

I was never a fan of 33's.. but seeing them in person and having a good long look at them I learned to like them a bit more.. :)

I recon parts would be pretty easy.. i needed new shocks just went down to the local mechanic and he hooked me up.

Don't know any facts and figures though about 1/4's

About 450kms per tank is correct depending on mods and how you drive obviously.

I haven't taken mine on the 1/4 mile or dyno so I'm not sure but stock should be around 90-100 rwkw (142kw at flywheel). The info that you posted about 1/4 mile and 0-100 times are pretty much correct though.

I'm paying $1380 on insurance for a '94 GST Coupe, I'm 20 and have a clean record, the only mods I listed were $2500 rims.

You shouldnt have too much trouble with parts as 33's are very common imports now.

For insurance if you have a misss and a house you will get a discount if you use the same company but if you are under 27 some wont insure you

no turbo will be alot better tho

50 litre tank and you sould get if serviced and looked after you might get it to 10l per 100kw

Get an exhaust and extractors and they sound pritty nice

james

18 at the moment.. turn 19 in march

hope to have a new car sometime from now to then

Not sure though ... i want somthing with some guts but not to keen on a turbo as insurance is heaps. I guess i should take a test drive...

I've got a bog stock GTS25 ('93 model) with O2 panel filter, fuel economy out on the highway gets me around 10k per litre (550 - 600 safely on full tank), around town 6ish (300 - 350 safely). BTW you should have a 65 litre tank, not 50 as mentioned earlier.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
