Hi,

Im happy with my R33 GTS and it runs great!, i've had it for a couple months now and i convinced my friend to get one. he got a GTS-T. i've driven it around a couple times and love it! feels so good. Im just wandering whether it would be worth to keep my GTS engine and putting in a turbo or to swap the engine i have now with a GTST stock turbo? my friend said it wouldnt be worth putting in a turbo on the engine i have in now because ill never get the same power as what a stock turbo would have.Im also wanting to get it before the laws kick in for non-turbo P platers! What you guys rekon? any help would be great.

After about a year of contemplating whether to turbo my rb20de gts iv decided not to.. I bought a gts t yesterday and i couldnt be happier!! I think selling it and buying a gts t is the best way to go dude..

If you already have your p plates they have made it now once you are on your p plates you can get a turbo, supercharger, v8 any time now. As long as you have your p plates before july:)

Where did you hear this? i got pulled over when i got my car and was talkin to the cops, they actually said i better get a turbo before the rules come in. i was told if you already have a turbo and on P's then its alright, but if not then you get in trouble :)

u got it lucky. i got pulled over and i asked about the laws here in Vic that are comin in July, n i got told it dusnt matter if u have a turbo before, wen the laws come in u cant drive it. least its what i got told. anyone from Vic heard anything different? im also considering selling my gts for a gtst but i cant bring myself to it, it purrs to much to let it go lol. btw anyone know if u can just hammer out a dent easily in the rear bumper without cracking it or doing more damage? i got hit while my car was parked at work, only damage is on the rear bumper (nothing serious) with a dent approx. 10cm heigh by 4cm wide on the passenger side corner of it. im thinking of just tapping it with a rubber mallet and buying sum paint to patch it up

Basically it all comes down to how much you love your car. Selling the gts and buying a gtst will work out cheaper, but its means selling your current gts. I thought about this for a long time, but just can't do it. I love my car.

So... this means changing everything. Atm I'm still saving to do it, but its going to take a while to get all the parts.

Your will need.

- RB25DET engine, loom, ecu etc.

- GTSt gearbox

- GTSt diff

- GTSt hubs and brakes (which means brake booster etc.)

Basically means ripping everything out, leave just the shell and start again.

hmm it seems like so much trouble, time and money... i love my car, but i have decided to sell my GTS, i love my car now and i know i will love my GTS-T even more when i eventually get it. Also i was told that putting an RB25Det in a GTS is classified as a modification which means it is more to insure than insuring a GTS-T.

depending who u have ur insurance with it would stay the same, im presuming just cars which will stay the same.

both looms are the same, the brakes are different but u can get slotted rotors for a 180 which will direct fit ur na r33

i am unsure about the diffs.

hope that info helps u out mate.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
