Hey guys, any of you see a stockish looking white r33 with white avs rims and a zorst cruising around it will most likely be mine.

I bought it from the gold coast just over a week ago and havnt really been driving it around yet.

im still getting over the cost of running a turbo car.

going from $40 for 600ks in the pulsar to $80 for 450 in the 33 is a shock.

anyways if anyone see's me give me a wave. i work in brisbane during the week with energex and am only home on the weekends at the moment.

LOL!

I currently still have the R33 GTS (NA) - I never had a GTST. I have already done the extractors and full Zetti exhaust thing, but I am now looking at doing one of the following:

a) keep the NA for another year after spending some money on upgrading the bodykit (this is becoming an attractive option with the fuel prices screwing up my ideas of turbo power)

b) sell the NA in a few months and upgrade to an R34 GTT

I just can't decide whether it would be a waste of money upgrading the bodykit on the NA, or whether it would help when it came time to sell it.

Thoughts?

Nismo boy where abouts have you seen the car?

i dont really take it out that much, where abouts on the coast are you?

M’dore area. Pretty sure I saw it once near Karwana area as well. Can’t be that many R33’s with white AVS’s getting around lol

LOL!

Personally bro..i would sell the N/A and save up for a GTT.

even if u upgrade the N/A body kit,. i might boost up the sale a bit but i doubt u be getting much of your money spent considering whatever u do..its still an N/A..as most people who buys GTS would wish they bought a GTST instead..coz they always want to go faster..u know what i mean yo ?

leave the car as it is now..sell it as it is..let the new owner decide.. and just save up for your GTT.

thats my 50cent right there..

G-G-G-G-G-G Unit YO..! :mrt:

yeah I don't think anyone buys a GTS coz they really want a GTS - they buy one for one of two reasons: they are young and can't afford the insurance of a turbo but still want a Skyline, or they are upgrading from a 1980 Toyota Celica, feel the power increase of a GTS would be sufficient for a couple of years, and have heard that any GTS being imported from Japan is going to be a reliable car due to the fact that no one is going to thrash a GTS!

Most people probably fall into that second group, so there should still be a market when it comes to selling a GTS'. :mrt:

Ah yes.... the famous adam.

wasn't he banished from sau and ns.com for talking to much shit?

yeah i live locally, in the palmwoods area. work in bris during the week though.

Haha, i know adam and i know slyder well. The amount of absolute abuse that car took was simply amazing, it should be dead.. But thats a whole 'nuther story..

I've seen you car around, i drive a blue r32 with a big www.skylinesaustralia.com sticker across the back windshield..

Saw you out a few times darren, white r33's seem to be multiplying... :D

Josh, had any work done at chapmans in noosa? If so, anygood?

Yeah i know he thrashed the sh*t out of that car and if i remember correctly, he tried to sell it on ns.com saying it had a full forged rebuild and was good for 400kw, unfortunately the guy who owned the car previously came along and ruined all that for him.

the thread go to about 20 pages before it was locked.

I can't remember your blue 32 but ill keep an eye out for it.

cheers

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
