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

    • You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.
    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny
