my r33 gtst was stolen and written off last week ;) . im now looking at buying r33 gtr and want to know if i should buy a stock v spec, or a slightly moded one. when modded what should i avoid ie:-what type of power can the stock fuel system happily support?? I have read the tutorial on buying a skyline, but i want to know more specificaly about what to look for in a r33 GTR. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. if it helps my budget is roughly around 27 to 36.

Cheers Aaron

I bought a stock very low kms S3 V-Spec. Best car I have owned to drive, very reliable so far too (granted only a few months). I would go stock or mild mods, in best condition, latest model and lowest kms you can for the most trouble free ownership. I am very happy with my purchase... just needs more power now! ;)

Depends what you want?

If you want to get a stockish one and leave it stock, then get a nice stockish one..

If you want a modded/fast one then get one thats got the mods you already want or as close to it.

Buying stock and spending tens of thousands of dollars is silly.... :wave: even thought most of us have done it

What are the problem area's to look at on R33 GTR's? With the R32's theres the rust issue to contend with, so i'm thinking of giving them a skip and switching straight up to an R33 GTR.

Is there a buyers guide/checklist on the forum that has all the area's to checkout when buying an R33GTR ?

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      So latest update. I replaced the ignitor with a jspec unit from enjuku. It felt a lot better at first although it is a little bit cooler of a day than it has been. Warming up didn't have as much misfire sputtering as before. Went on a 10m test drive. Felt good, a lot stronger though I was taking it easy on the boost. On the return trip started getting the cutting out at higher rpm again and was getting worse the longer I was driving. Took it easy the rest of the way home. Before turning the car off was getting the normal idle sputtering I was getting before.  So where I'm at now, entire ignition system has been replaced with upgraded components. Plugs still gapped at .8mm. Removed the fuel cap in case it was building too much reverse pressure I'm the tank, didn't help at all. Now I'm still on the same tank of gas the fuel treatment was in, I'm thinking if I can run that out and then refill with fresh 93 maybe  the treatment is too concentrated in some areas but doesn't explain that it only does it once the car is warm. I'm leaning towards fuel pump or injectors but if the injector was clogging I don't think it would make it shut off like it has but then fire right back up like nothing happened. So my current guess would be the pump. Without a fuel pressure guage no way to test or check it while it's running.  So that's kind of where I'm at. Need to start testing fuel components and ecu/wiring but I'm at a loss of what's the next logical step and procedure for testing it.

      You got your answer when everything was OK after disconnecting your return line from the FPR. Why in the world are you running a 460, 2200CC injectors, etc. on stock 8mm lines?  Keep the pump, ditch the lines. I used both 8mm lines as my feed and one of my Hicas 10mm lines as return.
