slowpoke. yours is probaly +100,00kms too u just dont know it.

yours is 90,000km for a 93 car. which equals to about ~7000kms a year or ~500km a month... do u think thats right? or...

yours mates 190,000kms for a 94 car which is ~16,000km a year.. and ~1300km a month...

which seems more realistic? winding back clocks is a major thing wen importing a car! but either way u shouldnt be look at km's. condition is wat your after!

hmm.. the car is stock except that the turbo has been changed but im not sure to wat but its runnin at stock boost 0.5 =.= it does not have a fmic and injectors has not been changed as well.. the previous owner from my car when he imported it he did not drive it for like 2-3 years coz he was workin outstation at a mine... so... maybe i got lucky and bought it at tat price.. his engine has not been rebuilt.. and the boot is missin a part that covers the small area where the battery is.. that piece of grey thing... its like he only bought half a car =.="

you spent 50k on your line ? man i dont wanna be rude but i said "STOCK"..

phuong got his impul r33 for 14k, with tonnes of decent mods, i still think its stupid seeing all these dealers selling stocko lines for anything over 13k.

theres a guy near my place who's had the same 5 r33's for years now for sale, they are all around the 20k. its fkn stupid.

why?

If someone is willing to pay 20k for an r33 then why shouldnt the "guy near ur place" sell them for 20k?

there is a big difference between a thrashed out import and a nice clean, non-accident history one

thats my point, obviously if they have been sitting there for so long and no one has bought them then its a rip off :).

dispite what people think, i belive all imports are thrashed, no one buys a turbo car not to thrash it. or at least drive it hard.

clean, is ok, i was suprised when i bought my r32 at how damn clean it was for an r32, made me feel good when handing over the cash.

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      So been ocd with timing mark but checked from few angle and seems both cam are on and crank is matching as well to the slot on sump and crank pully   i noticed crankshaft cover has been robbed as per attached pic. Any ideas why? Could my balancer or harmonic be on its way out? should I replace the cover? https://ibb.co/ZR1JFYRR

      So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
