ahh, that's great to hear that I can do something about it.. Does anyone have a set of wheels I could borrow for rego? The previous owner used spacers in the front in and I just need something to get over the pits to change the rego over before I address the issue of getting new wheels etc.. There would be beer / wine / other involved for whoever can help me Cheers, Steve

Yeah, thought as much. I guess my two options are: 1. Try to source similar indicators from repco, or 2. Try to remove the tinting from the indicators - any thoughts in whether this would actually work? Cheers, Steve

Hi, I have just purchased a 1996 Series II R33 GTS-T and have a few questions which I was hoping you guys could shed some light on. Q1. I was driving today and noticed that my oil pressure was sitting around the 2 mark until the car warmed up and I started driving a little more "enthusiastically" when it went to around half way (4), is this normal? The car has a FMIC, Oil Catch Can, Pod Filter, boost controller (only set to 7psi). Q2. This one may be hard to determine, but I jumped in the back and noticed that both of the rear door trims were not attached properly, they are just sitting there needing to be screwed back on! Is this likely to be something from when it was complianced (I am the second aussie owner)? I just wanted to see this if this is common... Q3. It looks like I need a new front windscreen seal as part of it has broken away, is there an aftermarket one that fits the R33 and is easy to get hold of? Is there anyone who has had this done? and who by? Q4. The 4th gear synchro is grinding (seems to happen more as the car warms up), I have done some reading and it appears this is relatively common and the Redline gearbox oil is the way to alleviate this, is this the consensus amongst those of you that have experienced it? Thanks in advance, Steve

Nah, I was in melbourne this morning and only took it out for a small drive to the shops to pick up my dry cleaning

yeah sorry guys it is the front indicators not the side ones.. Do rego tend to knock you back on things like that? Cheers, Steve

Ahh, thanks anyway Leech but looks like they are too different! I am trying to find out which front bar I have so I can see where to get replacement indicators.. Other thing I may try is going to Repco and getting something that fits... they're rectangles so I cannot imagine it would be that hard!! This is the bar http://www.gostrent.com/skyline/sly033.jpg, any idea? Cheers, Steve

Thanks Leech, do they look like this: http://www.gostrent.com/skyline/frontindicator.jpg Cheers, Steve

Not sure what colour the bulbs are, but that's easy to fix!! I guess I will just need to borrow a set of 17" wheels and possibly quiet down the exhaust a little.. Are there any restriction on the cooler? It also has an air filter pod, which is enclosed by a custom shield the guy made... Also, how much do you know about the gearboxes? this one had some crunching going from 3 -4th I am guessing the synchro is shot? Any thoughts on where to source a second hand box, and where to get it fitted? Thanks Steve

Thanks Baconer! It's changing from NSW to ACT (in fact i am tempted to keep it as NSW and just list my address as my father in laws place on the central coast)... It has a GTR front bar and it's the indicators in it which are tinted - these may be hard to come by i think (although I just found out a bloke I work with just bought a R33 GTR!!). The side indicators are clear - do you reckon these will be ok? I was thinking I could get the boys at city exhaust to whiz something up for me if I need to quiet it down any, but from memory it was not too loud when I drove it - The previous owner had it put on and thinks it is ok too... Thanks again, Steve

I am about to take delivery of a r33 gts-t M spec - it has 19" wheels (not lowered), 3" exhaust, tinted indicator lights I don't think it is that loud but is there anything with 19" rims or tinted indicator lights that would cause me issues? Thanks, Steve
