Wanting To Buy Gtr R33

[steven22]

I have an R33 Gtr as my everyday driver. If you are going to drive it around the streets you dont need ridiculous tires and brake pads and if you keep it relatively stock they dont cost much to run, not much more than a gtst. If you are thinking of getting one, get it. They are fine for the street and a great all round car. Trust me when you have people taking photo's of your stock gtr at a petrol station whilst your getting fuel, (yeah actually happened), you wont regret it for a second.

But when you buy it, get it checked at a shop that tunes high performance turbocharged cars. They will tell you everything you will want to know about the car. Air/Fuel, boost, torque split, etc, but more importantly they will correct any problems it may have or at least tell you how to. I hade mine tuned and we found that it had an aftermarket chip in it that could have damaged the engine if it remained in control of the ecu. We also found the timing was out, causing it to be pinging its head off. Whilst I was having it tuned, we upped the boost to 13.5 pound which is fine and well within limits, adjusted the timing and dissabled that chip and also adjusted the fuel map. All for under $200. Saved the motor.

You also will need to run BP ultimate or the equivalent Shell fuel. If you think of getting anything else, keep driving, trust me, the other stuff is no good for that RB26.

Get it serviced regularly, keep good fuel in it, keep good oil in it and you'll be turning heads in no time.
