Any idea what these are from? They're listed as R33 Series 1 but different in both colouring and some style/shape differences to mine. Might they actually be R32 or R34 instead?
These are listed as Series 2 and are different in colouring to both mine and that above, but similar shaping and material cuts to mine:
EDIT: just sat on Google Images and pretty confident that the first seat is an R32 one...

The series 1 uses the same size headlights and grill as the gtr.
Thanks. So R33 GTR and R33 GTS Series 1 are the same grills then - I had thought this was opposite.

Thats not a stock turbo
Is there usually details on the turbocharger to identify the model? With some of the aftermarket VNT's I've used on diesel engines they usually have a plate on the front inline with the waste gate actuator.

My recently purchased 93 ECR33 GTS-25t RB25DET is missing the front grill between the bonnet and front bar:
Is my understanding correct that in regards to the R33 GTS-25t models, the Series 1 and 2 grills are different and not compatible (due to different front bar, headlights and/or bonnet shapes)? And is the R33 GTR Series 1 grill the same as the GTS-25t Series 2 rather?
Any recommendations on sources for a replacement?

don't have to worry about fakes).
Are fakes a common thing within JDM wheels? Easy to identify or challenging to identify which is which?

On my recently purchased 93 ECR33 GTS-25t RB25DET, the front valve cover breathers are currently connected between each side and then venting to atmosphere through a breather filter. I believe the the atmosphere venting is an issue for RWC. How are these setup from factory - is there's a charcoal canister or something that it's meant to go to or is it normally plumbed into the air intake pipe (post air filter and pre turbo charger)? Is changing this likely to have any ill effects on the engine running such as the tune etc?
-
My recently purchased 93 ECR33 GTS-25t is missing the passenger seat. Wondering if anyone can please advise if the Series 2 vehicles use the same seat material and colouring so could be a possible source for a replacement or do I need to source only from a Series 1 in order to be matching?

My recently purchased 93 ECR33 GTS-25t RB25DET looks to have an adapter or spacer plate in-between the turbocharger and the exhaust manifold. Is this a normal fitting or indicative of a turbo charger change?
-
On my recently purchased 93 ECR33 GTS-25t RB25DET, the throttle body has this:
I assume this device is a throttle position sensor?
The electrical connection has no wires coming out of it - is that an issue or is this a common setup when modifying these vehicles?
-
I'm looking to put my recently purchased 93 ECR33 GTS-25t RB25DET back to being closer to its original whole. This is the current state of the interior of the boot:
What bits am I missing to make it complete again?
Spare wheel and securing in place hardware?
Floor covering that covers the spare wheel?
Backing piece that covers the battery cavity?
Wheel changing equipment (jack, wheel chock, wrench)?
Rubber grommet for the bottom of the spare wheel well.
(and yes, I need to also look/resolve the water leak)

Cheers. Any recommended retailers or sources for?

Given that R33 GTR wheels seem to be priced around $500.00 a pop/$2,000.00 a set for 25 year old used wheels, is there any recommendation on any decent (measured by comparable build quality, wheel strength and weight to the GTR wheels - i.e. not what I'd find selling on TempeTyres shelf) aftermarket brand wheel options in similar sizing to the R32/33 GTR wheels (16 or 17" diameter by 8, 8.5 or 9" wide +30mm offset) at a similar price point to what the used GTR wheels sell for or are the GTR wheels good value at their current second hand prices? From what I've found most at this diameter are not as wide so to get the width they have to be stepped up to 18"+ diameter (which is larger than I want).

Hi all,
I've purchased my first Skyline (1993 Nissan R33 Skyline GTS-t Series 1) and getting insurance has been a strange experience.I've found that a number of the big usual companies either don't list 'Skyline' as a model under the Nissan brand, but do have 'GTR' model for the relevant years - I assume this is because the R32 GTR was sold directly here in Australia were the other variants weren't and are imports? Similarly using the vehicle registration licence plate number doesn't automatically pull in the vehicle particulars - I'd assume similarly related.
For some online quotes aren't available for these models and midway through it requests that I call them.
With NRMA/RACV Veteran, Vintage and Classic Car Insurance that I use for my JDM 1989 Eunos Roadster (Mazda MX-5 as we know them here) as soon as I said it's a Skyline they responded with 'we don't insure Skylines, you'll need to contact the Insurance Council of Australia for assistance'.
Thanks to doing a search on here I found that Enthusiast are a common insurance provider in this community. I've obtained a quote from them and it's very reasonable so sorted now - cheers for the tip.

Wheels have been sold without the tyres. Payment has been received.
-
Not a price drop as much, but I'm willing to sell the wheels (without tyres) for $1,250.00. This may help to reduce freight expenses for an interstate buyer (which is pretty much everyone who has so far called me about them) as it will make them lighter and smaller.
So $1,600.00 with 4 near new tyres and an extra 5th spare.
Or $1,250.00 with no tyres.
These prices are firm.
-
In response generally to the PMs, calls and texts I've been receiving:
Yes, they are still available. I will post up here when they are sold.
If your interstate I am happy to drop them at a freight company of your choice. But if you want a quote, ring that company yourself - I'm sure you have a pretty good idea of the size and weight of the wheels, if not, go get the spare wheel from your car and measure and weigh it, times that by 4 and you'd be pretty close!
I'm located in Hobart, and I'll drop them at any depot located in greater Hobart area free of charge. I may be able to assist in packaging them up to.
I have dropped the price to $1,600.00. I won't go any further, don't waste mine or your time with offers below. I'd rather strip the tyres off and put stash them for a rainy day. I've seen 17"'s sell lately for more than this.

Price drop - $1,600.00!!!
Somethings poped up that I want to buy locally...

Item: Simmons FR18 18" x 8" front and 9" rear suit AU onwards
Price: Asking $2,000.00 ono - negotiable if it means a quicker sale.
Type: Part
Condition: Used
Description: I have for sale my set of Simmons FR18 wheels - these are 3 piece 18" wheels in the FR style. The set consists of 4 wheels, 2 x 8" front and 2 x 9" rear. Offset is to suit AU onwards Falcons, so +38 with 5 x 114.3 PCD. Should therefore also be suitable for a lot of other vehicles such as Nissan Skylines, Silvias, Mitsubishi Magnas, some BMWs and Toyotas, etc.
All wheels are in good condition. The paint on the centres has seen better days, but being 3 piece wheels it is very easy to remove these and have them painted or polished. One of the rear wheels is missing a centre cap (these can be purchased from Simmons or on eBay.com.au).
All wheels are fitted with tyres - they are in good condition to, having traveled less than 5,000 kms since new. They are Durun Sport-One 235/40R18 ( http://www.duruntyre.co.uk/english/performance.htm#sportOne ) . In addition to this I will include a spare 5th tyre, it is the same size but Federal brand.
These are the most popular and sought after style of wheels manufactured by Simmons and they are NO LONGER MANUFACTURED NEW - http://www.simmonswheel.com.au/ .
When new these were nearly $4,000.00 for the wheels alone and tyres were in addition to this. $2,000.00 is an excellent price considering that as of 2 months ago Simmons stopped making wheels and the condition of these.
I am happy to deliver these if local. Otherwise happy to freight at buyers expense, but you must get the quotes yourself and tell me which company to take them too!

I spoke to some fellas the other day, they inform me that the cheapest way is dealing straight with Work in Japan. They buy there wheels like that reckon that they get them for half the price that the Aus Work Dealers quote, and that the Jap mobs are happy to do international sales.
-
Still available, negotiable on the price.
-
Arhhh nice wheels shame bout the offset.
Thank you for that valuable input. Not sure why you don't like the offset. 40+ is what AU onwards Falcons, Magnas, S14 and S15 Nissans, 350ZX, some of the Skylines (e.g. R32,33,34 GTS-T), some RX7's etc. use.

I've got to disagree with you.
I'm not a fan of the new Trumpeter host. I never liked the Cartoonist as a host to begin with - he just way too over the top. Steve (I think that's the young fellas name) is not too bad, tries to hard sometimes. Biggest problem they have IMO is that there is no main main. TG UK clearly has Clarkson as the main host. TG AU has all 3 trying to get themselves on camera together - just doesn't work.
What really shits me is that a car show can't even get the name of a car correct. They keep referring to the Ford GT as the GT40. It is not, it's just GT. GT40's are from the 70's and were only 40"'s high. The newer GT is 43"'s tall. It's something that's not that big of a deal, but for a car show you would of thought that someone somewhere along the line would have picked it up by now!
Also they constantly refer to the show as Top Gear Australia - we all know what show we are watching and we can tell by the accents that it's not the UK version. There's no need to tell me the name of the show 5 times every episode!

Anyone got a link to somewhere that explains the differences between the R32 GT-R and the GTS-4. I realise the major difference is the engine, but there must surely be a lot more than that.
-
Just for peoples information I cannot reply to PM's on here ATM. Problem solved.
EDIT: problem solved.
Can I still use this head?
in RB Series - R31, R32, R33, R34 (1986-2002)

How does it line with where the new head gasket sits? If the water jackets have expanded out into where the gasket seals the jacket then probably not.
