Meet My New R33 :)


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

i've been tooling around on this forum for a year or two now, mostly as a reader rather than a poster while I had my cefiro... well I defected to NS for a while after I got my 180sx but now I'm back with my latest purchase - a minty nice series II R33 gts25t.... so i thought I would introduce it and myself so if you see me round on pacific hwy on the north shore you can give us a friendly nissan wave...

anywho - see you all round!

Heres a few pics:

thanks for the kind comments guys...

reeser - I am using it as a daily for the mo, so maybe some wheels, stereo and then later when i get bored with the power i'll start adding a few engine mods...

hell yeah its kursed, all my cars have been :rofl:

hEY kURSK,

So, tell us,

why did you switch from the cefy to the 180, and then from the 180 to the series 2 r33?

Which i best or what do you like about each, why,etc.

Thanks

I sold the cef because I wanted a manual turbo and the ceffi was an auto - but it was so damn clean and purty that I still regret selling it, should have kept it as my daily driver... So I got the 180sx, which was nice as it was a manual and back to the nice sr20det engine. thrashed around in that for a while but it had borked suspension so I put in some nice coilovers and turned a nice streetable 180 into a car that was almost undriveable on shithouse syd roads...

fuggin potholes would send my kidneys into my lungs... my girl wouldn't get in the car after she experienced one of my regular slides in the wet (unintentional one this time!) due to stiff suspension, a corner and a well placed pothole... very ghey.

So I guess I kind of got over the car (not only that reason there were more like back seat space, a really squeeky sunroof etc etc) and i had a holiday in europe coming up and the extra cash helped too.

The R33 - its modern, fast enough for a daily, roomy, and I luuuurve nissans... I know it would serve well as a good basis for mods if i choose that route. so thats about it i guess!

peace~

its actually a full 3" from turbo, with Xforce muffler. Its quite loud, I set off all the alarms in the carpark at chatswood when I drove through there on saturday hahahhaa oops. will have to watch that one.

as I said above, plan is a few comfort mods then once I am bored with the power i might start tweaking the engine... she's only got 70,000kms on her so shes a good base... and once I detailed it after i picked it up I found there was actually a nce car under all the grime!

About MX5's, the smart money is on the NC, specifically the NC2 if your budget goes that far, and with MX5 pricing that's pretty much where they go. Occasionally you see them pop up with tasteful mods like suspension and such, but the NC2 is the quiet sleeper of the range in terms of overall goodness.
    • The housing it self made minimum differences, while the exhaust manifold made a difference. 6 Boost T3 divided will do fine. ATR43SS3ProR model in T3 .82 rear (TS optional) from March 25th will be more then capable of 450whp with excellent response.   
    • The boy crashed his Patrol a while ago, so he is now driving his mum's ASX and she is driving my Honda I initially said he could have the Honda to drive around (he's a good kid currently training at the police academy), but, his mum was quick in saying that he "will" take the ASX and she will take the Honda, he was a bit upset with that, he rates the manual Honda more than the automatic ASX (mums taxi), and I'm getting the feeling she enjoys thrashing the manual Honda around In other news, I'm looking at a MX5 NB series 2 on Saturday  I always loved my NB series 1, but after stripping it down because I'm a idiot it wasn't fun cruising or driving around daily, and Jackie refused to drive it, which was an issue if we went out, because her refusing to drive it meant I lost my designated driver if we went to a party, or dinner, or...... basically anywhere where I could get a glow on Yes yes, I may need a new job if I decide to buy https://www.seek.com.au/apprentice-hairdresser-jobs/in-All-Sydney-NSW Plus giving the Honda to the boy, which is my cunning plan, will give me enough wifey type credits to turn up in another car Meh
    • Yeah I've just been checking it out on GTR registry and its the emerald green pearl (DS0) and only 610 made for S1 RS-Four V (if i'm understanding correctly) so I feel obliged to restore the paint to as close to original as possible!
