    Gtr R33 Vspec Stuttering

    in General Maintenance

    Posted

    Hi Guys,

    ​Forgive me my netiquettes if I am have made a mistake in posting this query here but I am out of my depths here.

    Car: GTR R33 VSpec

    Year 1995

    I am facing this intermittent (some times more frequent then other times) where my skyline stutters specially when I am trying to rev it. It does not matter if its a cold start or a running car. Also does not matter if its high revs or low revs. I have even had it happen to me when I start the car and left it to idle. It seems to be happening more often now.

    Me being a newbie took it to the mechanics and they thought it was the spark plugs. Got them changed , same evening ran fine for a while and then started happening again. From my other readings, there could be a few culprits here. I would appreciate any advice and also if some of them could be ruled out by me[not a qualified or even unqualified mechanic, I mean visual inspection]

    Also if someone could be indicative of what it costs to replace each of these. I am working on a budget here.

    1. MAS Sensor : Price? Is it a possibility

    2. Coil Pack : Price? [not spitfires please] Is it a possibility

    3. Anything related to the Turbo : Possible? seems to happen on low revs as well....??

    4. Spark plugs : Even though changed...did not go for top of the lines?

    Also I do not want to take it to a mechanic only to spend a few hundred bucks to come back home to the same issue. Please help.

    Regards

    Hi Shiv, welcome to the forum..

    Have a read of this link, it outlines what to look for when buying a skyline.

    I cannot stress how important it is to have the car checked over by a pro, its only a few hundred dollars compared to a 6-10k rebuild!

    Cheers and good luck with your search.

    Hi Jay-Z,

    I have found a car that interests me. It is a GTR V-Spec R33...very clean...not many mods done...95 model....done around 107000, only one year old in Australia, single australian owner. How much would you roughly think it would be for. A quick response would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Great car to own, a real weapon. Obvious question is why are you selling and what mods have been done to the car and who and when were the mods done.

    As others have said the R33 GTR started in 1995 so your first car described is either a fake or a typo.

    Personally if I purchased another performance car that is 10+ years old, I'd get one modified already as there's so much cost involved in replacing old worn parts. I would also look at the for sales section of this forum as a primary place to buy a car, more owners on this forum care about their cars, hence they join a forum to lean about their car and their cars are in general a better quality to those who don't care to learn about their cars.

    Another to look for is a mature owner or at least a owner with money. To many kids buy skylines with no money and fail to maintain them.

    Where are you in Australia so the forum can suggest possible cars to have a look at.

    Thank you everyone. I will definitely take all your advice on-board. I am in Brisbane and would not mind someone contacting me if they have a well kept car. I will goo through the thread sent by JZee....thanx once again

    Hi All,

    I have always wanted to own one of these dream machines, and I have finally decided to take the plunge. Could someone tell me some good pointers or questions to ask . I have two cars that sort of interest me. One is a 94 - R33 GTRVSpec and the other is a 95GTRVSpec.

    The 94 car has a Fully Rebuilt Engine Including Forged Pistons and New Turbos. Done around 78000Kms. Is it true that because skylines get thrashed, that the sump runs dry causing the engines to cork up? Also is a rebuilt engine neccessarily a bad thing??. This car has had multiple owners in Australia. Imported in 2003

    The other car has done 100000+ kms and acording to the owner was imported last year . I will get that checked. The guy hardly drives it 50 kms/week. It is clean and has never had anything done to it.

    What would you guys do. I am really excited and cant wait to hear your opinions.

    Thanks in advance guys

    Shiv
