Dude, you do know that Carbon Monoxide is an odourless, colourless gas which can make u pass out and die if you are in a closed off garage and start your engine and leave it running. The cat filters out that air and converts it into a less harmfull gas, hence why they are a restriction but an environmental nesesity. Hi flow cat (good one) will do the job just as well... you wont get ur flames tho.

lol, i dont care what specs say, every R33 ive been in and my mates have been in have been extremely dissapointed with its guts and have lost to several R32's. Maybe u r33 drivers just dont know how to drive ur cars :laugh: but even the mildly modified ones dont really pull that hard IMO.

the RB25 + gearbox combination is alot better than the RB20 + gearbox combo, but the R33's are too heavy.

thats why i went the r32 over the r33.

I only have a R33 GTST with just a few small modes but took on a R32 at 5 lights and raped it every time. Not bagging 32's cos I like them but just sayin doesn't matter if you beat a few, you won't beat them all

I'd vote for the R33, doesn't look like your budget would cover a GT-R... unfortunately!

Just for interest's sake how much was the guy asking for the GT-R you checked out?

James, original poster has bought an R33.

YEP BOUGHT A R33 GTST SERIES 2! STOKED WID IT.

I LOOKED AT 3 R32 GTRS ONE WAS $22000, ANOTHER WAS $19,000 AND ONE WAS $26,000 AND THE ONE FOR $22,000 LOOKED AND RAN THE BEST BY FAR!

my mates R33 got owned by a pretty much stock CA 180sx from a rolling start, no bullshit apparently they pulled off evenly from 40ks and the CA slowly pulled away from the R33. i was pretty skeptical, but apparently its no bs.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
