R32 = Hotcakes

R33 = Rolling tumbleweed

Probably due to the fact r33s are so common and now you can get compliance for $1200 the market is flooded.

We don’t like to touch 33s for this reason unless it’s a nice colour, manual and overall in very good condition

On the other hand the 32s looks like people can’t get enough. We still get calls for 32s that we sold a month prior.

And it is this reason you can buy a 33gtst for 14k and cheaper and 32 gtst for about the same price.

$1200 compliance? wtf?

Yep, there is something like 80+ workshops doing 33s at the moment. So add another $300 for tyres and you have a full compliance.

Sorry I don’t know all my 33 info off by heart, we don’t do that many of them (we do mainly euro stuff).

But the $1200 price is a definate.

True but I think you may need a separate certificate to comply them.

You nee a separate certificate for 2 door, 4 door, gtr etc except for non turbos which can be brought it.

roflafagus... $1200 for R33 compliance... $1200 for a 15 year old R32 maybe. And wtf different price for S1 and S2... that's a new one. You don't do many of them, yet you charge half the going price anywhere in Australia? That dosen't add up.

I'd like some concrete evidence of this to believe it, and if its true then this compliancer will be getting a shit load of work.

OK,

Well I got some more info; compliance doesn’t matter if it’s S1 or S2.

We can DEFINATLY get it done for $2200 + tires so even in this case it can be done cheaper.

And I have been told from a VERY reliable sources that it can now be done for $1250 (not $1200 like I previously said) + tires, but I guess this price is not 100% confirmed as we have not had the chance to bring in a 33 and get it complied there.

Either way if someone was to import a 33 through us we would defiantly follow this $1250 price up. Worst case scenario you can get it done for $2200.

Still a saving.

So how much would it cost to get a 1998 R33 Series 2 GTS25t though you guys from start to finish?

lol, im not offended, i just think its stupid to say that they are the least desireable, and everyone has them, in the same sentence no less..

Maybe he means less desireable in terms of looks?

Most people don't necessarily buy R33s because they think they look better, you'll find most people like the look of R32s and R34s. But when talking about the GTST/GT-T market, its hard to go past the R33. Unlike the R32, its RB25 equiped, more spacious also its almost as good as an R34 and much cheaper. So the most pracitcal/cost efficient choice becomes the R33, hence their popularity.

Also compliance for $2200 is cheap. I had my old 33 done for $2500 w/o tyres, about a year ago.....the workshop wouldn't do R34s by any chance Mecha? I'm thinking about importing one soon....

Also $1250? wow. that would be cheap, but i don't think it can be done, 15yo compliance is at least 1000 bux these days.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
