G'day all!

I've recently brought a slightly done up R33 GTST T25 . 95 skyline and absoloutly loving it! Only thing is, is i don't know exactly what's been done to it and want to know. I know it's got a bit of turbo work and a nice big HKS front mount and Plazmaman piping and a new heavy duty clutch... but he didn't have papers for any of it. I know that's suss and all but i couldn't resist buying it.

Anyway, i just want to know a bit more of what i've got and what i'm running. I'm a bit down on knowledge for cars these days so any imput or comments would be great.

Cosmeticly she needs a tad of tlc but i will get to that in due time... when i've got money haha.

Yeah i'm only on my L's at the moment. Had a bit of troubles being able to go for my licence. I can go for my p's now but why do that when i wouldn't be able to drive my baby? I'll just stick with my L's for the moment. Until i can take out the turbo i guess.

hahaha, this is fkn funny. Sorry dude to laugh at your expense but who goes and buys a turbo car and then thinks they can take the turbo off and vic roads will go "arrh ok well if you have taken the turbo off i suppose it's all good, just make sure you don't put that nasty turbo back on again!"

Thanks Joshington that was one of the best laughs I've had in a while. Hope you get it all sorted.

Just FYI as well Joshington, there was at least one other thread started recently about the same thing, basically the car's build plate will say that it is a turbo, and that in VicRoad's eyes means that you can't drive it, even if you happen to take the turbo off. (not to mention it's an incredibly daft thing to do lol)

yeah sounds like he jumped the gun....... couldnt wait

the best thing is to sell the damn thing....... go through all the P's....

and then buy something better in the end

you wont regret it in the end

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      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.
