GTS25T or not GTS25T thats the question?

I am currently looking at a r33 to buy and im not too sure about a cpl of things. Ive looked up alot of info and so far all its done is confuse me more. for starters the ad for the car says "Nissan Skyline GTS-T 1993" but when i looked up the skyline website it said that r33's didnt come out till 94, and since the ad says "GTS-T" i looked on meggala.com and it doesnt have just a gts-t only the gts-25t. Is this the same engine? As you can see im in need of help please, if anybody would like to go to gassportscars.com and have a quick look for me please as i live 3oook's away from brisbane i cant look in person.

The car is No. 51 on the gassportscars.com website in the cars 4 sale section. Thanks

The R33's did come out in 1993... I know as I have one!

The GTS25-t was a 2.5ltr Turbo (2.5ltr in R33), whereas the GTSt was a 2.0ltr in the R32.

For all intensive purposes an R33 GTSt is the same as a GTS25-t!

The only thing I can't make sense of on the web-site is where is says DISPLACEMENT:4... WTF?

It does appear to be a Series 1 R33 GTS25-t (series 1 body-kit, and 2.5ltr Turbo as has 5 bolts on wheel/brake/axle), but it would be best to have a look at the car first/arrange for another garage to have a look at it before purchase!

hope this helps,

many people just refer to the R33 GTS25t as an R33 GTS-t, they did begin production in late 93 though, not 94. That car would be a GTS25t. Where it says Displacement:4 on the site, that must be a mistake.

there were R32 GTS25t's produced but autech had a hand in them.

Also R32 GTR's were produced in Heisei 6 which is 1994, and a batch of 500 produced in Heisei 7 I think, which is 1995. These 500 were collector editions sold by nismo, all of which are uber expensive and very rare.

R33's started production in 1993 and there was an overlap.

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
