Wanting Help On Buying A R33 Gts-t


Recommended Posts

I've been looking around now for awhile on purchasing a R33 GTS-T with lots of phone calls and inspections in the process, just sold off my S13 and my max budget is 15 k im looking around for a stock car my plans are to put a GTR bodykit and wing with 17 inch rims wanting a black car really wanting the GTR look performance will come in the long run of course getting a turbo timer, boost gauge and a upgraded turbo kit, i've pretty much nailed it down on 2 cars

1. is a 1993 R33 GTS-T in immaculate condition black and done 74 k on the clock i know for a fact this car has been well lookt after and drives very well, i like the look of it but looks abit old.

2. is a 1995 R33 GTS-T M Spec done 80 k on the clock has a nice bodykit, color white, immaculate condition aswell, 400R front bar, but i think it looks like crap only thing whats keeping me intrested in that its a M-Spec the white really puts me off.

I have plans made up on how i want to build the car, black paint is what i must have the 93 skyline has a great paint job so that means if i got the Mspec i would have to spend $$$ on getting a paint job but Mspec means that little extra power and newerness to the car, your probally thinking wtf but im a student with a partime job and dont have a extremly rich family i've been saving for awhile now on getting a skyline i want a GTR one day but a GTS-T is all i can afford at this stage im after looks then power with the GTS-T but we will see in time.

im more happy with option 1 tho am i better off with option 2? thanks for the help.

if your just gonna post to mock me send me a pm or dont even bother its been a long ****ing process with being pist off alot and im after what i want.

Mate if i were you i'd go for option 1, get the car you want, don't worry about how old it is, its the color you want so you'll save money there, the money you save there could be spent on getting S2 front end if you like the look of an S2, 95 models still have S1 front anyway,i think.

You never be happy until you get what you want, your keeping it for a while so don't worry about age, i say go for option 1 for sure.

See if I can be of “SOME” help here..

First point…

All R33 skylines are M-spec, type M or what ever you want to call it.

It was only an “option” in the R32 range where Mspec or type m or what ever it is called, would include the 4 pot brakes and few other little things to make the car nicer.

Mspec does “NOT” mean more power or anything.

And all R33 GTS25T cars are the same power.

93 and 94 model R33 GTS25T is commonly known as series 1.

They have the velour gray interior.

95 model is known as the series 1.5 because it has the interior of the series 2 and the rear wing of a series 2 but the front bar and head lights of a series 1.

96 and 97 models are known as the series 2.

They have a different front bar to the series 1, slight changes to headlights, interior and dash is a little different and in general series 2 are nicer to look at.

POWER IS THE SAME.

Now.

You have 2 cars here.

What you want out of a car is

Black paint

GTR body kit

Out of the 2 cars you have listed, one is black and perfect condition as you have stated.

And it has less km’s than the 95 model which happens to be white.

So if you are going to change the body kit to GTR anyway, the answer is obvious to me.

You buy the 93 model gts25t with 74K km’s and save money to buy the GTR kit.

HI PEOPLEZ

I have laid a deposit on a very nice example of a stock 1998 r33 GTST TYPE M.

( manufacturing of the r33 ceased some time in 1998 and they started making the r34)

My main concern is that it is legitimate , because it was a great find at a great price.

My question to all you skyline enthusiasts out there is,

ARE ALL GTST r33 skylines produced in 1998 , 40th anniversary editions???

Mine does not have 40th anniversary badging on the seats or on the outside and its driving me nuts not knowing, as It could be dodgy.

PLease let me know, i wanna find out b4 i buy it,

Thanks Guys

    • Both of those things are on my to do but not quite in a position to do that just yet until I can at least get it running back to stock. Going to work on getting the exhaust manifold gasket and studs replaced first, an obvious need it now. Then I'll try out the new maf and see hownthat does. After that I'm thinking cas if I'm still having the same issues. Still need to run the fuel out and refuel I'll change the fuel filter tomorrow along with cleaning the iacv with carb cleaner. If all else fails I'm going to get a serial port and see if I can get some sort of data on what the ecu is seeing when the issue is happening but really hoping one of the methods above work out first. After I get a good base I'm going link but have to save for that so it'll be a while for that based on my tuners suggestions. Definitely need the exhaust leak fixed first though car has always fallen flat after about 4-4500 rpm since I've had it and suspecting that's the issue. Then I can move forward with the rest. 
    • My vote is rebuild s2 engine or maybe get a neo (but expect you may need to rebuild that too). Doing an engine conversion you would have to be a true tragic nowadays and actively be aware there's better/smarter options for value.
    • Or buy one someone built earlier! (realistically V8 mustangs or MKV supras are great). I see people nowadays putting ZF8's into MK4's, and people putting 370z gearboxes, diffs, axles into R and S chassis and it's like.... just get a 370z at that point and mildly boost the 3.7 instead of the 2L and away we go...
    • If you're going to go v8 or really any swap now with all the tax, I'd most likely just get rid of the car and start with something else. Unfortunately, I have a mate with a surplus of ls and Ferrari/Maserati v8's that's always tempting me FFS lol.
    • If you can get a clean, tested neo from Japan for $3500 these days, it's probably worth getting either way, hard not to be skeptical at that price. Otherwise probably rebuild the s2.
