Hey,

I am new here and interested in buying GTR33. Have couple of questions:

1) Where should i look?

2) Should i import or buy in AUS? (Which is cheaper?)

Any advice you might have would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

P.S. was looking at http://www.j-garage.com/sale/usedcars/stoc...ock/110571.html

j-garage is in japan/america, look at some local dealers. prices for america are usually a bit pricey.

I'd reccomend www.j-spec.com.au if you're patient enuff to get it. I've got an GTS from them and am in the process of getting an R32 GTR from them. Saving me quite a bundle.

thats it, after you get the car from japan you comply it (which takes 1-2 weeks depending on who is doing the compliance and how busy they are)

then after the work is done it has to be signed by an engineer the it takes about 1-2 weeks to get the compliance plate. then you register it.

but it'll probably take longer under the new scheme.

Don't be in a hurry if you're importing.

I began the importing process for my R33 GTSt sedan just after Xmas & the car finally arrived at my place last week.

It's in good conmdition & there weren't any big nasty surprises, but be prepared for a lot of stuffing around if you're importing it yourself.

Also allow extra $$$ because mine has ended up costing $2,000 more than the import broker told me to expect.

Good luck.

PS: The car's great & will be fully rego'd & legal on Thursday.

WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
