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

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
