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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
