Hi all im looking at getting a r33 down the track, still saving etc.

I was wondering what usually needs replacing with a car having 60- 90k's on it, like bushes O2 sensor brake pads, shocks, etc, or are these things usually in good order due to japanese servicing etc. Also when getting a newly imported stock car, will i need to get a piggy back pc etc, to make sure i can run 98 octane or will i still need to mix fuels?

Thanks alot

any other tips on what to do look for, and what usually needs the once over with a second hand stock r33 gtst would be great,

You'll need to keep an eye out for rust as in japan when it is snowing they throw salt on the road...which can cause rust. Also check all the suspension components.

Oh and yes make sure you read that link above..its very handy and a good read too

Bc racing coilovers. 18inch rims Hdi intercooler and trans cooler soon.  Here's my car
    • thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price  
    • Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?
    • Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
