I live in New Zealand and R33 manual GTS25t's here are around $10,000NZD with around 100,000kms and some mods.

I checked on Carsales.com.au and most of the ones on there are around $15,000AUD! WTF

I bought my auto series 2 gts25t for $4700NZD with 122,000kms!

$4k compliance to start with, plus restrictions on the types of cars and models which can be imported which also means there are less of them basically. R33's are worth stuff all here now too due to market saturation of that model

It's also the reason why there are no more domestic car manufacturers (even suppliers) in NZ, it all died because of the lack of restrictions. On the plus side, cheaper cars for you :down:

there never were any large scale domestic auto manufacturers in NZ, and the ones that were there are still there pumping out bespoke stuff.

NZ just didn't have a large enough automotive industry, so all cars had to be imported, thus the regulations on imports and costs of importing are far less than in australia. it adds about 4k to 5k on the price. That cost is negligible at high cost cars, but for cars under 20k, that becomes a significant percentage.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
