So I sold my 34 Gt-t so i could buy property.

Had plans to convert the 2.7 911 project i have with my bro to a 3.2ltr engine.

After finding 4 different 3.2's which all failed to pass leakdown tests, we have decided to sell the 911.

Im going to need another car, I was thinking about a 33 GTR V-Spec, because that is in my price range.

Has anyone made the R34 to R33 transition?

Any thing else worth looking at?

Any thoughts would be appreciated because i cant make up my mind.

Hey Phil,

i did that transition just then. :(. power wise i have to say there is quite a bit of a difference. In terms of condition of the car, i was fine with the adjustment from the newer R34 to the older R33.

Interior wise u'll definitely see and feel the difference. It is slightly bigger in the R33 GTR.

In terms of driving, the Attesa in the GTR is REALLY REALLY REALLY different from the GTT. That is something you have to get used to and best thing to do is to go for an advance driver's course. Controlling the car is different.

when i was gtr shopping a few months ago i was told not to realy look for the vspecs, once the diff screws up or woteva you cant realy fix it ?? and aparantly most ppl cant tell the differance between the 2 on the 33's

Out of the 3 vspecs i saw though, 1 was real with the diff, the other 2 just had the vspec stickers.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
