I posted your VIN and got the following reply from the FAST software. It confirms your car was originally a GTS (non turbo).

If you are happy with a brake upgrade from the yard, and everything else checks out OK, no worries.

If they advertised the car as a GTSt (turbo) you are probably entitled to a refund (regardless of weather they were aware or not) as they falsely represented the vehicle.

Can anyone else confirm differences between the GTS and GTSt i.e. transmission, diff, brakes (anything else)

Yup pretty sure there are differences, brakes (as mentioned), diff (pretty sure its an open wheeler not a viscous as in the turbo models), don't know about gearbox, but if they changed motor's then they might've bought a complete engine package and changed that all over at the same time..

But all in all nice looking ride, where abouts in Whyalla are you situated?? My mum and little bro lives up there, little bro works @ Bridgestone and mum works in one steel....

thanks mate, was trying to tell my self it was a genuine, but all the clues add up, brakes and hubs, no boost in the dash, guess thats why it has a after market fuel pump, i think the diff is a one wheel r, not100% will go out tonight and check,

just cant work out the engine tho, regency doesnt have any records of a change, told me engine all matches up, only thing i can come up with is that is is a non turbo engine just with the turbo gear on it, maniflod turbo etc. are they much different. bloody hell. give me the shits a bit, but i do like the car.

If the conversion was done in Japan, Regency wouldnt be aware that in a past life it had a different motor.

I hope they havn't just bolted a turbo on a NA motor, if they did it will be short lived (but a nice ride for the short time).

Get it checked out by someone who knows Skylines.

Good work for ringing straight away :) When we asked to get things fixed they said they had to wait for their mechanic to come back from some place i never heard of <_< . Then they gave me some address to get the stereo replaced..went to the place...it was a broken down house! So i decided to do the stereo myself.

In short, some of the issues with mine (whcih somehow went through regency before they sold it to me) include -> All Suspension was mixed up, front shockers were on the rears, with the top part of the front shockers somehow being cut through via the car's body (i can draw it, not the best on the technicalities however). The heavy duty clutch HAD to be replaced..the guy said 'what wrong with it?...' :) I was like looking at the revs go up but no movement.... :P Then the rear disc rotors were just a luaghing joke, where they accidentally put new front ones on (no complaint from me on that one), then did the rears another week later). These were the main issues. There were other little ones but nothing big.

So when you get a hold of them next, don't let then go until they've done it!

yer im pretty happy with the car other than the fact its a non turbo from factory, it still has all the features, if they are willing to replace all the brakes and hubs, with proper turbo set up, and give me my cash back i just wasted in buying the 4 studd rims and tyres, my main concern is the motor, is it a genuine turbo motor which was changed before coming to australia, making the engine ok with regecy now, or have all they done is put a turbo on this motor, maybe a thick gasket to help or something, but u wouldnt think a stock motor would last to long would it, its only running 7psi.

I think you may have got stooged....

has it got many k's on the clock?

a na 33 isnt worth bugger all, so i would demand a refund

if that fails then get onto today tonight and try that way...

a lot of cash for a na r33 with a $400 turbo on the side..

also what happens if you have a acident?

i would bet my money that your insurance company will head for the hills

as soon as they check the vin no.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
