Of switching my 02 Audi S3 for a late model R33 GTR Vspec..

Anyone know of some very low km' models, silver or black is fine.

Must be in mint condition will pay up to $55k for the right one..

Would consider a modified example but only engine/brake/suspension mods. No modified interior/exterior.

Seem to be quite hard to find...

there aren't too many black R33 GTRs around i think... i might be wrong... cleaned/polished/waxed black GTR... very nice looking car :P

if u had ur time with the S3, i think it would be good to change to GTR... just for the changes sake.. :P u won't be dissapointed that i'm sure

There was a guy I knew at Uni that had a black GTR, it looked very nice. :(

oh i know that guy too... heard he was one good looking mother f@#%$% too... ;)

btw, that r33 gtr @ unique doesn't look like black.. more like purple-ish navy colour... very nice colour indeed

i undersand the GTR at the bottom of this page is very good quality.

Was a very good GTR to start with when it came into the country and will rock...

$55k neg

fair enough.

But DONT EVER now i mean EVER beleive teh kms on a car that has come from Japan when thay say 20,000kms.

lol

No Matter how beleiveable it is, its wrong. Its been clocked.

Its as simple as that....

is it just me or are they expensive????

Do they bargain?

My car was purchased and is serviced there, I'm very happy with them. I paid a little higher than market but the car I bought was in excellent condition.

And I'm sure they all bargain :(

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
