looking around for a R33 GTS-T series II M-spec manual, but prices vary a lot and i don't want to get a dodgy car.. what bracket would you guys say is the right price? 16-18 thousand?

also.. are there any real differences between series II and I besides the front bar?

cheers :wave:

Get out there and have a look at the cars, you'll soon work out why the difference in pricing.

Personally I think alot of people don't check out the market for themselves before advertising their car for sale hence the jaggered prices

Ps - Plug for my car as it's for sale and I'm a nice person :wave:

i'd be looking at spending 20k+ if I was to buy a gtst again, but that's just me. I like things perfect. not one single door dent. no swirlies. no interior blemishes. engine compression like it is 1 day old. but like I said, I like things perfect.

**btw, this is just generally. of course, you mgiht score a total bargain for cheap, but you know the saying, generally, you get what you pay for.

trust me mate.

you spend less, you'll end up spending it anyways.

e.g. an immaculate one will cost 20k+.

you'll always get these keyboard warriors saying you can get one for 15. sure, but look at this example.

A friend of mine bought a 93 model for 11 k. was an auto.

paid 2k to convert it to manual.

engine blew - 6k rebuild.

paint was shit, so he spend 2 k respraying.

at this stage, it still was pretty crap inside. all the bushes and suspensions were probably still crap.

I know which one i'd prefer.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
