So so so so so tough. I saw thatg car down in maroochydore a while ago and my draw literally dropped.

Wills a good friend of mine, and I think charles will be selling that laurel of his - but getting a new one.

Today I got the new turbo on - had some small problems but also found out it has a steel wheel. had to grind out some banjo bolt fitting things and find bolts suitable for an r32 turbo (the bolts on the stock one were smaller)

Finally got it running, blew a bit of smoke and was making me worried, but started to calm down after I left it running for a few minutes. So I decided that it was previously dumped oil from the last rooted turbo int he exhaust etc burning off. Left it idling for about 20 minutes and when I came back all the smoke was gone. :(

Took it for first drive - first impressions - springs a little hard, turbo sounds insane - like a jet or something! gave it a bootful out of my street, went beautifully. played around with the blitz dsbc for a while, tryed again and ran too much boost - blew the intercooler hose off.

Anyway I decided not to play aropund with the thing untill I udnerstand how it work first.

Went to pick up the girlfriend later on and decided nows the time to check see if it has an LSD. medium speed in, boot it in 3rd, car smoothly and quickly steps out and slides the corner beautifully, I hold about 2.5 fishies up the road after that in 3rd. Thats something you cant do in an ae86 easily.

Anway, just from todays impressions, I love love love it. Such a nice car. I can not believe how loud the turbo is. Is it safe to have the turbo fluittering when I let off? It does it quite loudly! I fear it may be forcing the pressure back ont he turbo and making it wear quicker.

Tomorrow I am going to change the oil, got some mobil semi synth to put in for about a tank of fuel, flush, and then going to full synthetic. Gettin coolant flushed next week along with rwc and rego. Getting boost gauge soon. Car has weird vibration on the back left side, and I noticed the wheel has more negative camebr than any other one - so either a bent arm or really bad alignment but I'll figure it out. I cannot believe how nice the car is - rapes an ae86 anyday.

Heres a dodgy ass pic.

Very excited.

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Speed Sensor replacement

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.

      Speed Sensor replacement

      By R33_Guy · Posted

      Hey all. I’m looking on replacing my speed sensor on my R33 GTR. Will the center differential need to be drained, and if so, the center diff uses ATF fluid D? I found information on the transmission, front diff and rear diff. Can’t find a for sure answer for the center diff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
