I wanna buy a gtr r33... help


Recommended Posts

Seriously, tune the car around an inlet restriction to give you about 130-150kws. Thats a drop of about 60-80 kws.

In a GTR that power, weight, suspension, and brakes combination, would be a safe car, but like any car would still need to be driven with a level head.

Cars like Corvettes etc, that have Valet switches that drop hp, simply use a variable restriction in the inlet.

This is done using an additional butterfly valve (throttle body) and a secondary computer map to run the car in this altered guise.

Theres your solution and should only add an additional $2000 to the pruchase price of the car.

I am serious, this is not shoddy/dodgy, major car manufacturers do this, so you see, there is no reason you cant own your dream GTR.

I have an answer for insurance too.

At that sort of $$$, you will be able to go close to being able to repair it in the event you have a small ding, or if its a larger accident, then sell off the parts, (hey the engines go for +$5k, interiors $1k, wheels $2.5k, brakes$1.5k etc, etc)...

...and buy another R33

Still get third party insurance, and a good alarm & tracking system in case of theft.

So with third party you are still gaining a no claim bonus, and if you have an accident with a gutter/tree, something other then another car, then by repairing/selling you will not be affecting your no claim bonus.

After reading what ive typed, i have to ask how badly do you want a GTR?

Take the money and blow it OS on a great holiday, when/if you come home save and get a GTR then.

Hey if your parents are willing, see if they will go for the 21st b'day present thing, R34s may even fit the price bracket!

not being mean but its very hard to get a salesperson to realise you are genuine when soo young looking at a gtr..... speaking from experience, also i would doubt any private sellers would comfortable letting a 16-17yr old (male or female) drive their gtr.

have you driven a gtr before ??

I've got a nice series 2 R33 gts-t that you could have for $38k, its already modded and would be a nice first car.....Brett

For anyone stupid enough to take my above post serious, I was being sarcastic and the car is not for sale!!

I really thought it would have been obvious as how could a car with this much power be a nice first car!!

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
