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.

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

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
