hey guys

i got a friend coming around to look at my r33 as his interested in buying one

i wasnt planning to sell, but i chucked him a price and he seemed keen (and the price is good too :D )

now ive just been looking at afew r32 gtrs out there, and if i go that way ive decided to proberbly go a 1994 model

just afew questions:

do all 1994 r32 gtrs have the r33 engine from factory ?

ive seen afew good ones (only from pics) with abit more then 100,000kms on the clock, but the plenum has a little bit of paint missing, is it true that cars with paint missin from the plenum hav had a hard life?? or hav done way more Km's ?

anyinfo would be great

ps. before takin the plunge i will definetly be gettin a comprehensive chek over by professional ;)

lol!

Funny thread!

My stock plenum looked immac one day, then i decided to gurney the engine bay and clean it up, the plenum looked ratty ever after as the paint is just old and doesnt like being hit with high pressure, especially considering the plenum goes through a lot of heat cycles.

There are a LOT more things you should be looking at to determine the approx age of a GTR when buying rather than the paint on the plenum, for all you know he couldve used a gurney like i did :rofl:

K's are not the only indicator of car condition anyway, you really need to be driving the cars for a while and doing a proper road test. It pays to have a pro who knows GT-R's look over it too. Compression and leak down tests can also be a good idea. A car with 60,000k's could just as easily go bang as a car with 160,00 depending on how they have been treated and maintained during their lives.

good question, i've wondered that too?

I'll put it this way... Which would you choose:

While its not the be all and end all, it is an indication of how the car has been looked after.

As said above, the kilometer's that are displayed are rarely accurate so I would not really use that as a factor in assessing the car's condition.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
