Why? Why would you want to do that?

I'd have to look it up for you at work. There's a chance it will because a lot of the nissan ignitions are interchangable between different models of cars such as eg. pulsars and maximas and r31 etc. And there's a chance it won't fit at all either due to differences between the r32 and r33.

I'll see if I can find out later, unless someone beats me too it. Are you looking at changing just the ignition barrel? Or changing the whole assembly like the steering lock and ignition barrel as well?

The story goes, I had my car broken into on the weekend and they ripped out the ignition barrel. At the moment i have my eye on a second hand r32 gtr barrel, but only because i haven't found a new r33 one anywhere yet, although one of these would be prefferable, depending on the price. The steering lock mechanism was damaged as well, so the whole lot has to be changed.

My books tell me that R32 and R33 Ignition barrels and steering lock assembly's are different. In theory a R33 GTST should have the same complete assembly as the R33 GTR. There are however differences between the automatic and manual igntions.

Brand new, your probably looking at the $300-$350 dollar mark if you buy from a locksmith, it includes 2 keys the ignition barrel,steering lock assembly/ignition housing, ignition switch, and the bolts to bolt it up. The Brand is ASP if he doesn't know what your talking about.

Otherwise the cheapest way out would be to go to a import wrecker or get second hand and rob(I mean buy one) one from a manual R33 GTST or R33 GTR. Take it to a locksmith because it probably won't have any keys, and get them to make your current key work it. Guesstimate price for the igition and keying, maybe $100-$150.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then today, I went to visit a man with an r33 hat Peter and Road and Race sorted the alignment. As it is being set up for general track/hillclimbs etc it has a heap of caster (7o), less camber than I am used to (1o front and 2o rear, as the caster looks after that in turns without the braking downsides), 3mm front toe out and 0 toe rear. Will see how that goes and track tyre wear to see if it does need more camber, but adjsustment is also limited with nismo arms and adjustable bushes at only 1 end. It does have a bent inner tie rod on the driver's side front but as it came up within spec I'll just leave that as is. So, that is getting close to my chapter of this story....could of tidy ups then a shakedown in early October before it finds a new home.

      So, it went to Unigroup for a run in and tune on Friday, everything went (generally) well. In terms of fixes, the engine was good and there were no leaks. It needed plugs (I hadn't checked them because the coil pack cover was on a new engine and I couldn't imagine they weren't new.....but turns out the temporary plugs to just keep it sealed up were in there.....new plugs gapped to 0.8 and it was fine from there. Also, there was a little preload on the clutch slave which caused some slip. I haven't had the box off so I don't know what the clutch looks like; my guess it is brand new and the pedal had not been adjusted....backed that off a bit and it held fine. Last thing will have Dose crying....the idle especially when cold is a bit difficult between the cams, forward plenum, atmo blow off valve and an 80s air management system. It is fine when hot but a little uneven when cold, will see if I can sort or at least improve that one cold morning. Other than that, tuning went fine. It made 245 but was pulled back to 227 which 2 opportunities to improve in future. 1. The factory CAS is not great and was jumping around at high RPM, so Mark took 2 degrees out up top (that is why it stops making power and lost 20kw). Very safe this way and the extra power is available but will require a more modern ECU and better cam (or even better crank) sensor 2. The 2871 in factory housings is very big for a low mount, and the internal wastegate is too small, so it was creeping from mid range all the way to redline....the duty cycle on the boost controller is turned down a little for safety. That is much harder to fix, it would need a large external gate and that would require a whole bunch of other changes, so it will go as it is for now. It feels nice and healthy and safe, so should be good for about a billion laps like this.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      what sort of caliper are they? If they are a slider and you gave everything a good clean, you might need to regrease the pins. My guess though is they will come good after some abuse as suggested above
