Thanks a lot for your responses :happy:

I have another question now.... When the time comes I will buy another R33, but the other day I was brousing the J-SPEC Imports website and came across some really nice cheapish r32 GTR's with around 60,000kms. Do you guys have any reasons why you would choose one over the other given the chance?? 32 is older but it's a GTR and I really like 33's so not sure.....

Cheers

haha i still have no idea what that sticker is, half the people i ask say its when you should and the other half say its when its done.

As for 32 gtr or 33 i'd say 33 just for the fact that despite the sheer sex of a 32 gtr, they are old cars. Get a 33 GTR, best of both worlds and then some :happy:

my sticker has the kms when the belt was changed written on it, not when it is going to need to be changed

the silver sticker is like a proper printed factory sticker with a line of Jap then underneath it has 100,000kms and more Jap...

are you saying yours has like 96,842kms or something like that instead? Or do you mean there's a different handwritten sticker there?

the sticker is simply there so to be written on when the car has had it's timing belt changed/100,000km service. I would not be buying a car that has no sticker on there as why would you remove it unless it has done >100,000km's/had it's timing belt already replaced...

Steve,

If you get a bad example of an R32 GTR it will cost you large amounts of money for repairs... GTR's are always going to be more expensive to modify, repair and maintain than GTST's as they have more to go wrong eg: 2 turbo's, 2 diffs, 4 axles, transfer case... etc.

GTST's arent as good as a race / drag car though for obvious reasons, also they are a lot more common than GTR's.

Bottom line... GTR is a better all round car, but its easy to get in way over your head money wise if you get a bad one.

GTST is cheaper, more common but still a great car for the price you pay.

Of all the R32's I see getting around I reckon it's 90% GT-R versus 10% everything else R32.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
