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.... 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.

[Nozila]

in all honesty, i believe that this is a prime example of dodgy car dealers/salesman as i can gurantee that they knew its previous history whether they admit it to you or not.

Brett Elliott, he's the one who'll talk your ear off when you go in there....Drives an R31 skyline with SR S13 rims on, some 250cc 2 stroke bike on his l's and used to ride a nifty 50 everywhere doing mono's, but has had to stop riding it before he looses his licence...

[dangerman4]

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.

[boosted22]

yer got the big show down with the car yard tomorrow, gonna ring them, see what they got to say and offer, if its not good enough will take it further, gonna be down wednesday morning anyway, i will let yous know what they got to say tomorrow, cheers for all the feed back tho.
