Hey Guys,

First time poster here, just recently bought a R33 GTS Series 2 import and have done a service on it the first time myself usual, changed oil, filter, spark plugs etc.. and only use 98 octane fuel. But still seem to be having hiccups when its trying to start as it feels its about to die then will pick up revs a few seconds later.. I even put in some injector cleaner in the tank to see if that would help but hasnt changed much in it.. Is this normal or what you guys rekon that will fix it up?

Its due to have a service soon so just wondering whos a good skyline mechanic around the western sydney area to take it to who knows what theyre doing?

Cheers,

Steve

If you want specialists try Advan or Croydon racing developments, expect to pay though.

Definitely Advan, but you pay for what you get. 100k service plus replacing a castor rosd bush and vacuum hose on my S1 r33 GTST was $2k. I had teh same idle issue, turned out it was a split vacuum hose.

They also looked over the car to make sure it wasn't a lemon, and that there were no other issues. They definitely know Skylines - do a search on Ebay for their car GRACER.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
